NO STRIKE ON THE
 ILLINOIS CENTRAL. international Association of Machinists WithhoIds Its Sanction.

Chicago; Sept. 1.-The strike threat ened by the snopmen of the Illinois Central railroad was averted today The labor struggle was threatened be- cause of refusal of the railroad to recognize the system federation of me- chanical employees. A reorganization of the federation will be undertaken, when the demand probably will be re- newed.
 Of chief influence in preventing the strike was the positive refusal of the executive board of the International Association of Machinists, in session today at Davenport, Ia. to authorize the strike, on the ground that the sys- tenn federation had not conducted it's negotiations properly with the Illinois Central Furthermore, it was pointed cut that, a strike would imperi1 the working agreements now existing be- tween the railroad and several of the international unions.
