STRIKE SPREADS RAPIDLY.
Lumber Dealers Virtually Lock Out
Their Teamsters.

Chicago, May 25.-The lumber deal
ers during the day aggressively trans
formed threatened strikes into virtual
lockouts. A dozen lumber companies
were quickly added to those previously
involved in the ramiications of the
teamsters' strike. In each case orders
to deliver material to strikebound
firms brought firm refusal from driv-
ers. Discharge of the driver followed
instantly, with quick retaliation ensu-
Ing in a strike of his fellow teamsters.
The planning mills felt the effect of
the lumber shortage during the day,
some of them being compelled to shut
down. Sash and door factories are
almost at standstill and carpenters
all over the city are being laid off. The
paralysis in the building industries it
seemed would extend until at least
100000 worltmen in many trades are
out of employment for lack of material.

ures to prevent the zemstvos. doumas
and other provincial and district insti-
tutions from indulging in unrestricted
debate and adopting resolutions on the
subject of a change In the form OF
government Interior Minister Bouli-
gan has issued a circular declaring
that such discussions do not come
within the scope of the imperial skase
Issued March granting the people
freedom to petition the emperor
through the committee of ministers on
all matters relating to their general
welfare. The ruling, In effect, is that
this privilege only applies to the peo-
pie as individuals and that organized
institutions must confine themselves
to questions within their competency.
The duty of enforcing this inhibition
Is imposed on the presiding officers,
who will be amenable to prosecution
for permitting infractions. The circu-
lar was plainly designed to put an end
to the political agitation which has
been openly In progress in the zemst-
vos and doumas throughout the en-
pire.

Lumber Dealers Follow Plan of Ex
press Companies.

Chicago, May 25.-Secretary Hooper
of the Associated Wood Industries de-
clared during the day that every lum-
Der teamster who struck has been for

New York, May 25.-Between 10000
and 10000 men belonging to the Rock
mems and Excayators' union have been
locked out by the Contractors Pro-
tective association in this city. Ii is
expected that the lockout shortly will

locked out were employed on more
than 100 contracts in various parts OF
the city.
For several weeks the men have
been threatening to strike for various
concessions and the contractors finally
decided TO force matters, apparently
with the object of putting an end to
the union. Their decision to lock out
the diggers came when the Transfers
union agreed to stand by an agreement
they have with the association. The
lockout will stop work for time oD
hundreds of buildings in the city
where excavating is just beginning,
but it will have no effect on buildings
