There were many telegraph oper-

veloped the fact that Sullivan per-
mitted the turf investment companies

Refuse to End Chicago
Strike Under Any
Conditions.
1T WILL AFFECT $4,000.

CHICAGO, May 23.-The prospects
for peace, which yesterday looked so
bright in Chicago's great labor crisis,
vanished this morning at conferences
that ended in the employers and Ia
Dor leaders hurting defiance at each
other.
President Schradt Of the Fedora
ton of Labor and the EMPLOYERS
Association committee met COM
mittee of the laundry workers to set
tie the strike of 1000 laundry en-
ployes. The unions waived everything
put the right to strike and the de-
mand for increased wages. which the
laundry owners were willing to ac-
cept.
The Employers association. to
which the laundry employers belong.
hatly refused to permit a settlement
on this basis.
The association then offered to
substitute an agreement which the
unions declare an undisguised plot
to gradually weed out unionists. The
Employers association threatened to
keep the strikers out of employment
forever.
Schradt retaliated by saving that
NOT an engineer or fireman or any
other employe will ever be permitted
to return to work until a different
spirit is shown and advised strikers
to start seeking other employment as
a means of remaining out indefinitely.
The attitude of the railways also
underwent change from that of
conciliation to one of defiance for the
freight handlers.
The unions regard the sudden and
unexpected change In the attitude of
the employers as evidence that It
was agreed at last nights secret
meeting of the Employers association
to make the fight against local labor
unions death struggle and predict
that unless concessions are made be-
fore June Chicago will be paralyzed
with strikes More than $4,000 men
under employers in the association
are now threatened with lockout.
5000 of them BARRIERS, 5000 freight
handlers, 10000 restaurant employees
and $4,000 stockyards men.
