It Is Generally Expected That the
Teamsters Will Accept the Arbitra-
ton Agreement Offered by Team
owners AssOCiati0n--FlO ur Famine
Is Threatened.

CHICAGO, May 1T. ]. Gavva-
nah, secretary of the Chicago Team
owners association expressed the be-
lief today that the transfers council
tonight would accept the arbitration
proposition made by the owners At
meeting which adjourned early this
morning the transfers council post
poned until tonight action on the
question to arbitrate the delivery of
goods to boycotted stores. If the
teamsters yield this point, it will be
because they want to confine the
strike to its present limits.

Chicago Saturday night from Dayton,
where he went to address a labor
meeting. On his return he will con-
tinue his effort to find some solution
OF the present tangle in the strike
problem, although so far his efforts
have seemed futile.

leaving last night Gompers informed
President Shea that the strike must
be called off. Rumors that a settle

ARE
EXPECTED TO UNITE
(Scripps News Association.)

FRESNO, Cal, May 19,-The bust
ness of the Cumberland Presbyterian
assembly today was mostly routine.
The report on the organic union was
referred to a special committee of
three unionists and two anti-union-
lists. The anti-unionists tried for
another member on the committee,
but failed, showing that those in
favor of uniting with the other
branch of the church are in control.
If the unionists join the Presby-
terrain church the anti-unionists will
declare the unionists boilers and will
take the matter to the courts TO pro-
tect the sS,000,000 of church property.
The unionists realize this and wish
to defer the matter until the next
assembly, when they will be better
organized. 1t is their purpose simply
to declare for union at this as
sembly.
