TRUCK DRIVERS ON A STRIKE.

Detroit, Mich, May GA strike
which threatened to lead to a
lockout of practically all the
truck drivers in the city, was
begun yesterday when the thirty-two
drivers employed by the Ferguson
Carriage company, went out. These
men waited long enough to give all
truck drivers working for other com
panies chance to drive out and begin
work as usual. Then they notified the
management that they would not take
their teams out.
This was done in order force the To-
cal carriage association to stand by its
statement that if one barn went on
strike all the others would be locked
out. The president Of the local Team
Drivers union announces that the strik-
ing and lockout teamsters themselves
have more than sixty wagons and
teams arranged for, and that they are
ready themselves to keep the local
