The strike spread steadily through
out the day. There are now about $500
teamsters on strike and their inaction
has largely deprived about $4,000 other
men of work.
1t was impossible today to have
package delivered to any address out
side of the downtown business section
from any of the large dry goods stores.
Customers were urged to take small
packages with them. Hundreds of peo-
pie called in person and by telephone
at the headquarters of the Retail De-
partment Store Drivers union asking
TO have parcels delivered. One woman
declared over the telephone that she
had ordered a ball gown at Marshall
Fields and she simply had to have it
tonight. All of the requests were re-
fused. Express drivers. however, were
instructed by the strike leaders to car
ry collins and flowers to funerals and
to in no manner interfere with the
shipment of cOrpSeS.
Tomorrow night an appeal will be

aid to the teamSters. These unions
have membership of 10000 to 100000
men, and will be asked to go on strike

their work becomes involved in the
slightest manner with supplies or de-
liveries from any of the establishments
where strikes have been called Eff
forts will also be made, it is said, to
get out the employees of the Union
Traction company, which controls all
the street railways on the north and
west sides of the city.
Hurt in Street Fighting
Three persons were seriously injured
during the street fighting today. They
are:
II. r. Brown, colored nonunion team
Ster, beaten into unconSciouSness Sam
uel Bradshaw colored nonunion team
ster. struck on the head with a piece
of iron and knocked unconscious; and
Bud Moore, a colOred boy sitting in one
of the wagons of Field & Co. struck
on the right arm with a brick. The
arm was broken just above the wrist.
Steady progress has been reported
by the Employers Teaming association
in securing men to take the places of
the strikers, and it is predicted by the
employers that before many days they
will have their business back to a nor
NAL basis.
The general agents of the seven ex-
press companies involved in the strike
this afternoon decided to pool their
issues on the delivery of goods. Twen-
~ wagons of the Adams Express COM
pany made several trips around the
down town section in caravans of from
three to five wagons each and were not
molested in any way.
Will Use Federal Soldiers
The express companies have had the
task in the past of transferring money
from the Pennsylvania depot and from
the Baltimore &, Ohio depot to the sub
treasury in the Rand McNally build
ing. Fearing that the express wagons
might be attacked or that the COM
panies would be unable to fulfill their
contracts regarding the transfer of
money, the local treasury officials nOti-
fed the acting secretary of the treas
ury in Washington. Through him the
war department was consulted and Or
ders given providing for the changed
conditions. The secretary of war wired
Col. Duggan. now commanding the de-
partment of the lakes, to use army
wagons and a soldier guard, If the ex-
press wagons and their usual guards
cannot be used
The express companies will prob
ably apply tomorrow morning for in
functions restraining strikers from in
terfering with their wagons.
Nonunionist Shoots Two
Two men were shot and seriously in
jured tonight by Charles King, a nom
union driver for the Pacific Express
company. King was on a Blue Island
avenue car, when a crowd of strikers
who had followed him, boarded the car
and attacked him. King drew a re-
volver and emptied it at his assailants.
He shot none of the men who attacked
him, but instead the bullets struck two
men who were watching the fight. Jo-
seph Zeigler, one of the injured men,
received a bullet in the left thigh, the
bone being shattered. His leg will
have to be amputated. Patrick Enright
was shot in the left arm and his in
juries are not fatal. King was arrest
ed by the police after fight in which
he attempted TO shoot the officers.
