Labor Troubles in Chile.

On March 11, the Norwegian steamer "Christian Bors" brought the news to San Francisco, according to the Examiner of the next day, that in strike troubles at the nitrate beds near Iquique, the soldiers fired into the massed strikers, and 2,500 were laid low, most of whom were killed. This occurred January 1. Many soldiers also have been killed. It is said that the strikers returned to work without the advance in wages they struck for.
