All Hope of Settlement of Chicago Strike Abandoned
ITS INDEFINITE SPREAD
Every Industry of the City Is Almost Certain to Be Drawn Into It. Arr engagements for the Calling Out of the National Guard.

CnlcaSo, May Z3--All prospects or peace in the teamsters' strike have disappeared and it will be open war from this on. The last conference looking toward peaceable adjustment was held tonight between James B. Barry, business agent of the express drivers union and the local manager of the seven express companies.
 The business agent opened negotia- tionS by saying: "Our position is this: I want all the men reinstated except those who have been guilty of violence. I cannot do anything diff ferent. That the local union wants and that is what the local officers have told me to demand. That is all I can do. The men told me that all want to go back in a body or they wont go back at all. That is the position of the union and union officials"
 The reply of the representatives of the express companies was brief. It was: Our opposition to the reinstate- ment of the men will be the same four years from now as it is today. We will not take them back under any circum- stances" This brought the conference to a close and all the parties con- cerned in it immediately left the city hall.
 The spread of the strike today was not as large as was anticipated, it being understood in many quarters that there was still a possibility of peace being reached. Four hundred and sixty-two drivers employed by twenty eight firms belonging to the Inducements association went out to- day. In each case the men were or houses and the usual strike followed. Other firms to the number of fifty-five belonging to the lumbermen's exchange will make similar requests of their men tomorrow and by night. it is ex- pected that the full number of 1000 drivers employed by these lumber con cerns will be on strike.
 A meeting of the united employers association of wood industries which is composed of five associations em- bracing 1S5 firms owning lumber yards, blaming mills, sash and door factories. etc, was held today and 1t was de- cided to call upon their drivers to make deliveries. This will force out 1900 additional men.
 Edward Hines, president of the as- sociation of wood industries, said to- night that the members of the organi- zation proposed to stand together and when asked if peace was in sight, said: Peace I am not looking for peace. I am in this thing now to fight if out We may just as well have IL over once for all. The employers association of wood industries IS affiliated with the Chicago employers association, which has been hghtlns the strike thus far and of course we will work in conjunction with them. With the union drivers employed by the Inducements association on strlhe it will be only a matter Of a snort time until outside unions will become involved in trouble. Just as soon as the building material now on hand mas been used up and an attempt IS Hiaue to make deliveries with non union drivers other labor unions employed on the work will order their men to refuse to handle union material. Trnless the strike is settled within d short time the carpenters, stone ma
 
 are bound to bcome involved III the difficulty.
 The possibilities for increased rlotlng are vastly enlarged by the spread oi the strike to the lumber dlstrlct. It is a district noted for fierce mops which have marched through 1t our- ing former strikes and IS the pidce which has invariably caused more trouble than any other part or the city. The city officials and oherill Barrett feel we'll nigh hopeless or pe- ing able to maintain order in the luih- her district and at the same time pro tect the wagons in the downto"ii streets as they have been doing thus far. It would require force oI d. least 2OOO men to effectually patroi the lumber district alone ana Ihls number the city and county nave not to spare. It has therefore been oe'S mined that at the first outbreak of the rioting, such as marked lhe Stiih ee- days aeo A call will be made on Gov ernor Deenan for military assistance.
 Sheriff Barrett said tonight At the first break of trouble which in any way approaches the rioting we have hao' I shall call for troops. l will do eV- ervthing in my power to maintain or der hut the minute it gets beyond me I will appeal to the governor anu troops will be on the ground In less than two hours.
 The troops which will be hrst or dered out if the necessity arises com pose the first brigade of the Hllnois National Guard commanded by BITE adler General George M. Mouiton' It comprises the first, second, seventh and eighth regiments of infantry. the last being a colored regiment ana the first a regiment of cavalry, in all aooul 1000 men, Every preparation has been made for a prompt response py the
