Chicago, May mo difficulty was
met in transferring the negro strike

sling shots. Later the men were re-

Chicago had on her working
clothes yesterday. and to anyone
without a knowledge OF the fight GO
ing on between capital and labor, an
examination of the calendar was nee
essary to make II certain that II was
Sunday. From daylight until dark
the downtown streets were crowded
with heavily laden wagons and
trucks, giving the city a weekday APP
pearance that was never witnessed
here before on the first day of the
week
Believing that the fight new going
on for supremacy between the EN-
ployers' Association of Chicago and
the union teamsters is to be a pro-
tracted one, the business men of the
city took advantage of the suspension
of regular business to procure an ex-
ira supply OF material and supplies.
Every available team and even one
horse vehicles. were brought into
use for the purpose of replenishing
coal bins and to obtain other material
necessary TO the transaction Of bust
ness.
While all these preparations were
onfpn IN for nm. an,arUan.u aNa,fs,
We're being made at Mayor DUNES
Office TO bring about peaceable adj
justment of the teamsters' strike.
Early in the afternoon a committee
representing the Employers Associa-
ton met a peace commission.
At the end of this conference
committee representing the unions
met the citizens committee and went
over the entire strike situation in an
effort to devise some means to bring
about peaceable ending of the con
troversy, but all TO no purpose.
Early yesterday a mob of 500 men
and boys, headed by a number of
striking transfers. raided the main
stables of the Employers Teaming
company and stampeded the animals.
This was in violation of the federal
injunction issued by Judge Kohlsaat.
The names of the union men involved
IL Is said, have been secured and
they will be brought into court.
William and Harry Grady, picture
frame manufacturing who were shot
Yesterday and seriously wounded, are
said TO have been the victims of a
misunderstanding. Some time ago
these men supplied Montgomery,
Ward a. Go, with picture frames, but
their contract expired several months
ago. IL is said by the police that
strike smypathizers who were of the
belief that the Gradys were still COZ
nected with the Ward company made
the attack on the two men.
