Chicago, Dec. 2I.-Sixteen hundred
livery drivers, backed by every team
steers union in Chicago, struck today.
Nearly 400 livery stables are com
pletely tied up. The drivers demand an
increase OF 81 per week.
The first trouble occurred when an
attempt was made TO conduct a flu
neral at West Eighteenth and Airport
streets. The undertaken secured
enough co~nveyances to take the BODY
and mourners tC the church, but While
the services were in progress pickets
compelled the drivers of the hearse and
carriages to desert under threats of
violence.
Seventy-five funerals We're scheduled
for today. Some We're postponed in
hope the strike would be settled. Most
of the funerals, however. took place,
the bodies being carried to the Gene
teries in the undertakers' embalming
wagons. Only the presence of a large
police squadron prevented the strike
sympathiZers from attacking the hearse
carrying the body of Mrs. Mary Ku-
ceria. When the long procession of
carriages started toward the Bohemian
cemetery police stood guard about the
hearse, while union pickets and strike
sympathiZers crowded the streets and
threatened violence to the %non-uniou
drivers.
