Chicago Strike Situation.

To add to Chicago’s union labor trust troubles, the 6,000 freight handlers of practically all the freight houses in the city went on strike Saturday and 1,000 nonunion handlers have been imported and put to work, with 450 policemen as guards, to take their place, with more handlens to follow. All - perishable freight ie now being handled, it is announced. The newspapers, despite the slugging tactics adopted by their striking employes and their sympathizers, seem to be getting along very well now by means of imported men, and the Sunday papers as well as regular editions reached Rensselaer Monday afternoon. ■■■
