Chicago, May 2. The outcome of
the move to bring the teamsters' con-
fiict to a crisis was eagerly awaited
today. The employers association had
scnt an ultlmatun to five leading
teaming companies who ceased making
deliveries to the department stores
when the teamstcrs entered upon the
strike chat they must either deliver
goods to the boycotted firms or lose
business permanently. II the tcaming
companies accedc to the demand of
the association, II Will cause spread
OF the strike to five thousand more
drivers. The action OF the teamlng
owners Is looked forward to with great
interest, both by employers and union
lists. The attitude Of the packers,
which has been involved In some
doubt, is now declared to be opposed
to an extension of the strike to their
teamsters 1T Is stated the packing
companies will pursue their practice
of conveying meat to their distribute
Ing stations by union drivers and SELL
Ing from their stations to boycotted
firrn5 The latter. wall be- promptly
served, provided the packers are not
asked 10 make direct deliveries.
Contrary to announcement no order
was issued today for aiming OF nom
union men with rifles. Representa-
tlves of the Employers Teaming Com
3pany said they did not know when the
order would be issued, II at all, and
denied having said such a move would
be made. A hundred colored men im-
ported as strike breakers by the Em-
ployers' Teaming Company struck to-
day because their request to be fur
5nished reyolvers for self-protection
was denied.
Thirty non-union tcamsters were at
tackled today by strike sympathizers at
Jackson boulevard and Halstead street
All kinds OF missiles were used. The
non-union teamsters. armed with stout
hickory clubs, attempted to fight the
mob, but were being overpowered when
the police arrived. William Wrather
white guard. was severely injured
In an encounter between colored
non-unionists and mob at Harrison
street and Wabash avenue this morn
ing, in which all sorts Of missiles were
thrown at negroes, T. f. Carter, col
ored guard, drew revolver, shot and
severely wounded Henry Schultz. This
thoroughly enraged the crowd, and
altho Two more shots were fred, the
non-unionists were quickly closed in
upon and beaten fearfully. A riot call
was sent in and seventy policemen un-
der Inspector LAWN hurried to the
scene and dispersed the crowd with
vigor Carter was arrested The
shooting caused much excitement at
the Auditorium, block away.
The police, clubbing right and left
pushed the crowd off the streets. Five
persons were arrested. Only ten non-
union teamsters could be found, the
others having fed. A promise is alleg-
ed to have been given to Secretary
Probst of the Commission Team Own
ers' Association, by President Shea
that the commission men would be all
lowed to remove perishable produce
lying in express cars in freight houses
was not respected today. Probst ex-
treated unfairly by Shea. The pick
cts stationed at the freight houses
turned back the commission mems
teams.
The drivers and helpers Of all the
large express companies Of South Chi
cago went out today OH sympathetic
strike. The trucking companies and
their valuable interests today took Il
stand in the strike situation unfaVof-
able to the interests of the Employers
Teaming Company, and the Chicago
Employers Association. These tsrik
ing companies. headed by the Arthur
Dixon Transfer Company intimated
that they were tired Of the strike;
that they are prepared to do business
with Chicago's merchants with the bes.
and most available labor they could
secure. and the employers associa-
ton was advised that big trucking COM
panies were taking hauling contracts
wherever they could secure them and
were using union labor with which to
do the work In other words the truck
ers were not complying with the re-
quest OF the association that it be al
lowed to dictate who should or should
not be employed.
