city, the transfers strike will spread

hours. The refusal of the Transfers
Joint council, representing $4,000
union drivers, to accede TO the de-
mands of the Chicago Team Owners
association to handle merchandise for
all business houses having contracts
with the members of the owners as
sociation, has brought the controversy
to point where, lest a speedy settle
ment is made one of the worst indus
trial upheavals in history will be the
result. Hopes that such a settlement
will be effected are based on the
team owners association to give the
Transfers joint council more time to
consider the proposition. At first it
was the intention of the owners TIC

the owners as the reason for the post

ultimatum until Tuesday.
A call was issued last night for
meeting of the executive committee of
the International Brotherhood union.
This body is the controlling power OF
the transfers organization, and it is
this body that orders and has the final
word in the settlement of a strike OF
their men.
The Chicago LiveryElen's assoca
ton has become involved in the
strike, and strike of $500 men en-
ployed by this organization is immi-
nent. This trouble was brought
about by the union carriage drivers
refusing to carry members of the as

association last night that the men

The officials of the Cab Drivers
union declared last night that their
men would all be ordered on strike if

One man was killed and another ia

Funeral Of Strike Victim.
Marching with draped banners and
muffled drums, more than 1000 union
men followed the remains of George
S. Pierce, strike victim, from his
late home to the union station here
yesterday. The body was taken out
on the Pennsylvania railway to Louis
vile for burial.
No funeral services were held. but
the escorting of the body to the sta
ton was made the occasion of labor
demonstration in which not only the
teamsters union, but organized labor
in general participated. The men
marched solemnly four abreast. Each
wore on his coat lapel white button
with the inscription in black:
