Chicago, May 19.-"The teamsters'
strike will end tonight or tomorrow
morning. There will be no claim of
victory or defeat by either side. The
employers will take back the teamsters
who are worthy and desirable men and
who have not violated the law"
This declaration was made by Sher-
III Barrett today and was confirmed
from several sources The sheriff be-
gan to call in his extra deputies en-
gagged in guarding the wagons of the
Employers Teaming company.
Dunno Says End Is Near.
Mayor Dunno today said he had
learned from a source not connected
with either side Of the teamsters'
strike that the strike will be called off
within twenty-four hours.
The report appeared on the ticker
early today that Sheriff. Barrett had
Informed grain firm that settle
ment of the trouble had been reached
and the announcement would be made
this afternoon. A better feeling began
to be noticeable at once.
Shea Still Stands Pat.
President Shea, when told OF the
declaration of the mayor and sheriff
said: There is no man In the world
that has the power to call this strike
off or make any such settlement.
The teamsters' Joint council alone
has that power, and the council has
not considered any such proposition" /"
The most, encouraging phase Of the
teamBters' strike today was the
change Of front on the part Of the
teamsters in entering into negotiations
with the team owners and consider
Ing q proposition from that body to
arbitrate the question Of deliveries
to boycotted houses.
y Should the teamsters' council at
its meeting tonight accept the team
owners arbitration proffer 1t is gen.
orally believed today that the end Of
the strike is at hand. An adverse de-
cision Of the arbitration committee
compelling the drivers to deliver
goods wherever their employers
should desire would be signal for
raising the strike against all business
firms now affected except the State
street department stores, express
companies and coal concerns.
