Express Drivers Strike. 



Tuesday morning,- May 16, the busi- 

 ness of the market was thrown into 

 confusion by a strike of the drivers 

 for the express companies. Incoming 

 stock was delivered, but after that the 

 wholesalers were left "to their own re- 

 sources to get shipments to and from 

 the various depots. Up to the hour of 

 going to press it has been possible to 

 handle nearly everything, although an 

 occasional shipment has missed its train 

 because of delay in getting through the 

 picket lines. The strike of course has 

 added greatly to the wholesalers' trou- 

 bles and costs, but it has not tied up 

 business. The dispute seems to be 

 largely one over the recognition of the 

 union and promises to be of consider- 

 able duration. In that event the whole- 

 salers probably will organize a coopera- 

 tive cartage service, several meetings 

 looking to that end already having been 

 held. As in the case in May eleven 

 years ago, Fred Lautenschlager proba- 

 bly will be placed in charge. At that 

 time the cooperative service was kept 

 up for weeks at a cost of only 6 cents 

 per piece handled, which is less than 

 the express companies' costs in normal 

 times.

Negotiations for the purchase of a 

 manufacturing plant in Cicero have 

 been completed by the American Green- 

 house Mfg. Co., according to P. L. Mc- 

 Kee, its president. The plant, which 

 covers half a city block, is completely 

 equipped with machinery and tools and 

 is exactly suited to the company's pur- 

 pose. A railroad switch runs into the
