The strike of the union pressmen, wagon drivers stereotypers, etc., on the big Chicago dailies tied up the newspapers to such an extent that for several days no papers were issued; that is, none were sent outside the city and only a few abbreviated sheets were issued at all. Monday noon the Chicago Tribune arrived in Rensselaer, and in the afternoon the American came but, but neither were fuU-eized issues. The tie-up was the most complete the union-ridden city newspapers ever experienced, but the appearance of papers again Monday afternoon would indicate that the publishers are getting the best of the situation.
