The San Francisco call., 1905-05-21

! strike will be in the building trades and
trouble is looked for in this direction on
Monday. The Lumbermen's Association
has declared that it would make deliver
les to boycotted firms and would insist
upon their drivers taking goods where
they were ordered to take them. Tins
means a strike of all the union men en-
ployed by the Lumbermen's Association,
numbering about 1000. 1t Is expected that
the members of the Team Owners Asso-
citation, which does the greater part Of
the hauling for the railroads in the city,
and which has been for several days
threatening to take sides with the En-
ployers' Association. will be compelled
to come out for deliveries to the boycott
ted houses, and that all of their men
will be out within a few days after the
commencement of next week. They en-
ploy about 5000 teamsters.
Sheriff Barrett said tonight, after be-
ing Informed of the action of the team
sters' joint council:
at simply means that the troops will
have to be called out. We have found
1t difficult to maintain the peace with
the force of police and deputies we
have out, and now that there Is pros
pect of much greater body of men
being on strike, with all the chance Of
rfoting that it entails, 1t will be out of
the question for to handle the
tHOuDlc W1lnOul aIU lI0m TIE mIItdfys
As soon m the strike spreads will be
compelled to ask the Governor for aid.
1 have done all that I am nble to do,
and the prospect now Is that the thing
will get away beyond the powers Of
my Office"
AS soon as the teamsters' statement
was given out and the council ad-
journed, President Shea of the Team
sters Union stepped to the telerhone
and called up Levy MAYER, attorney for
the employers, at his rooms in the
Auditorium Annex.
Hello. Mr.. Mayer he said. "This
is Shea I wanted to tell you that the
council has decided to reject the pro-
position that has been made to us by
the employers. l thought it right to
let you know at once. That's ALL"
