An embargo has also been placed on
all freight from the South destined to

Chicago, April 12.-BQth sides to the
switchmen's strike in Chicago claimed
the advantage last evening, after a

tinues to move more freely the roads
are lifting their embargoes
On the other hand. the striking
switchmen claim their numbers are be-
Ing sweled hourly. They derlde the
brOtherhOOds as nothing but a she'll"
and say they will stay out until the
roads are compelled to recognize them.

the rope under his coat and felt his
way through the inky blackness to a
western window. He slipped his legs
