WILL RELIEVE FREIGHT JAM IN DISTRICT

Lafayette, Ind., May I.—Fifteen Monon trainmen left here yosterday to help the authorities relieve a tieup of freight in the yards at South Hammond and other points in ' the Chicago district* The Monon officials asked for volunteers for the work and tbs men responded. They take the position that they are not taking strikers’ places, but are replacing men who have resigned their jobs. The traimen from this city who went as volunteers, will receive their board and room rent, in addition to their regular pay. It is bo- - lieved that many others will join in the movement and. that the Monon will soon be able to restore yard conditions in the Chicago arsa to normal.
