Fight to finish as Chicago freight strike paralyzes business
Chicago July 15 the freight handlers and railroads are in a deadlock over wage scales threatening $1 000 000 daily in losses. Three failed conferences left managers insisting on 7 1 2 cents per hour while workers demand 9 cents. Merchants may hire drivers to haul freight, prompting police protection amid rioting and near general paralysis of business. A new proposal offered by union and owners’ groups aims to restore work while preserving the July 1 wage schedule. Meanwhile Iowa Central shopmen resume work after amicable talks.
