CHICAGO FREIGHT
TO CO UNDERGROUND
Forty-three Miles Of Tunnels Will
Block Strikes in Bust
ness District.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Chicago, March 3.--Chicago's under
ground freight railroad, the most
unique and extensive in the world, prac-
tically is ready to begin operations.
Less than five years ago the actual
work Of digging the tunnels was com
menced by the Illinois Telephone and
Telegraph company, now the Illinois
Tunnel company. Today the company
has forty three miles Of track ready to
be operated, forty feet below the level
of the street. Every street in the down
town district is tunneled, and some
streets outside this district
~-.4~ Stupendous System.
The general public, not having seen
the tunnel, has small conception Of the
stupenduous nature of the undertaking
or it's possibilities. There is nothing
like it anywhere. When the tunnel for.
mally opens for business It's capacity
will be two and half times greater
than the present tonnage Of Chicago
hauled in wagons.
In other words, if the tunnel was op
Grated at less than half it's capacity il
would still be able to haul every bit OF
freight that passes thru Chicago {
downtown district. This estimate In
cludes coal as well as merchandise.
The tunnel, once it is in full opera
ton, will have an important bearing OF
labor troubles. Never again will the
teamsters union have the power to til
up Chicago, and the teamsters will hav'
no terrors for Chicago merchants.
.s" Blocks Strikes.
| While a strike Of the employees O.
the tunnel might occur, it could no
have the serious aspect Of a strike O.
the teamsters at the present time.
A force Of men could be put at worl
| to take the places Of strikers, and i
| would be impossible for any antagonis
tic forces to get at them. In this re
spect the tunnel occupies novel posi-
ton toward labor. If necessary 1T
employees could be housed and fed with
out coming in contact with the outsld
elements for weeks or months at
| time. H.. - .,--.,. - =. = -
s[........< Transfers Uneasy.
The company, however, does not ex
pect trouble with, its employees, and dis
claims any enmity toward the team
sters' union The teamsters union
however, has looked upon the enter
prise with uneasiness. The constructio
Of the tunnel has proceeded with re
markable freedom from labor troubles
/ The. mail service, which will be a
important function Of the tunnel raj
road, will begin March 10 between tn
general postofflce and the Lake sho1
+ and Rock Island depot. The Who'll
mail system between the postoffice an
all the railroad stations will be. ru1
ming before the end Of June. 49,.
