Show THE SITUATION IN CHICAGO. Not as Many Strikes as at Frst Anticipated. Antici-pated. Chicago, May 1 It now appears evident that the number of strikes here will not be nearly so numerous as was anticipated. Representatives of the federation of labor have been busy among the discontented workmen during dur-ing the past week doing their best to allay the strike and with apparent good success. They have been asking- all trades to lay aside then-grievances then-grievances until the carpenters get their demands all over the country. It looks now as if there will only bo a few sporadic strikes here and there, and that none of the city's great industries will be tied up. Thore are so many out to take part in the parade or witness it that it is impossible to accurately state the number who will refuse to go to work tomorrow.. Up to noon not the slightest trouble was reported from any quarter and the police do not anticipate dDihe procession started shortly after noon, with bonds, banners and appropriate appro-priate mottoes. It -is estimated -that 85 000 men were tn line, which was tout miles long. ' Everything is going smoothly and no disturbance reported any where in the city or suburbs. |
