Cricaco, May Special Telegram, |— Passenger trains filled with passengers and freight trains loaded with merchandise were blockaded by switch tenders on the Chicago & Western Indiana road this morning, Be- fore 8 o’clock four passenger trains and half adozen engines had accumulated at the Forty-ninth street crossing, where there was acrowd, but no one to turn the switches. Some sort of trouble exists at the Fortieth, Forty-third and Forty-seventh street cross. ings. ‘This blockade affects not only the Western Indiana, butall of its track tenants the Grand Trunk, the Chicago & Eastern In- diana, the Wabash, the Louisville, New Al- bany & Chicago and the Chicago & Atlantic, ‘The striking switch tenders belong to the Western Indiana and number about thirty. Their wages are from $£30 to $40 a month. They demand a raise of §10 all around.

Detectives feel assured that wholesale assassination was intended by anarchists and that the prinei- pals in the plot were the trio under arrest and Parsons, the fugitive.
