Chicago, Nov. 1S,-The strike of
the furniture wagon drivers, which
led to riots yesterday, spread today
to other factories in the Furniture
Manufacturers Association.
The teamsters quit under orders
from the union officials, picket lines
are established and the factories are
in a state of siege.
The Chicago Employers Association
will try to move wagons today with
non-union drivers. Rioting is likely
to result and 1t is believed an injunc-
tion will be sought against the team
sters.
The following firms are affected by
the extension of the strike: Heyword
Bros, zangerlein & Hetson. Nonnast
& Co., Herold Chair Co, Bauerle &
Starke, Olsen & Co.
