Principal Hotels and Groceries

Out the Tugmen.

USING RIVER ROUTE.

Chicago, May 5.-Additions to the
number of teamsters on strike will ag-
gregate nearly a hundred today. The
new strikes are confined to individual
concerns, chiefly wholesale houses.
All the principal hotels and grocery
firms in the city are now under the ban
of the teamsters. and the diminishing
stocks in the retail stores are further
placed in jeopardy.
The union leaders also threaten to tie
up the river service by calling out the
tugmen and thus add more difficulties
to the transfer of goods from the gro
Gerry warehouses. Union tugmen report
ed that several large concerns were
utilizing the river route to move mer-
chandise.
It is learned that President Samuel
GOmperS of the American Federation Of
Labor. has recommended to his execu-
tive board that they vote an assess
ment for the striking teamSterS in Chi
cago. The teamsters' strike has at
tracted many labor leaders from all
over the country, among whom is P. H.
Mccarthy, of San Francisco. John l.
Lennon, treasurer of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, also is in Chicago.
Warned by Sheriff.
Bluntly warned by Sheriff Thomas E.
Barrett, that troops would be asked for
by him if police and deputy sheriffs to-
gether proved unable to control vio-
lence, strike sympathizers were less in
evidence about the many strike bound
stores and stables today. A distinct in
nOvation was made by the police. Chief
O'Neil issued a general order to arrest
all persons following the police guarded
wagons.
When the strike first broke Out" said
Mr.. O'Neil, persons followed the wag-
ons out of curiosity, now they follow
them to incite riot. There will be no
discrimination by the police in such
cases in making arrests"
A call on Sheriff Barrett for prOtec-
ton came today from James B. Cloves
Sons, manufacturers of plumbing sup
plies. Deputies were sent to the firm S
store with instructions to take seats on
wagons sent out by the establishment
and aid in keeping the peace. Yester-
day the firms teamsters were stoned
and the police were unable to arrest
the offenders.
Two thousand men constituted the
police force available for strike duty
today With this number the police
officials expected to guard 1900
Wagons decided increase over yes
terdays total. Renewed confidence
was experienced by the police officials
in their ability to exercise a reason
able degree of control. The fuel sup
ply of the Union Traction company,
which controls more than half the
street car lines in Chicago, was placed
in jeopardy today. Pickets of the
teamsters' union were on hand during
the night to prevent deliveries being
made This watch vigilantly con-
tinued today.

caravan A number of bricks were
thrown but did no severe injury.
Delivery wagons were sent out to-
day from nearly every retail store in
State street. In many cases policemen
furnished with light runabout buggies
accompanied the wagons The general
resumption of deliveries of goods to
residences, though on a greatly re-
stricted scale, was in decided contrast
to results on previous days.
The experiment of sending out Fly
ing squadrons, each composed of five
or ten deputy sheriffs, was tried today
by Sheriff Barrett. 1t was hoped that
by having the deputies mix with the
strike sympathizers trouble at the in
ception might be averted.
For possibly the first time since the
strike began a caravan of coal wagons
manned by nonunion coIored teamsters
traversed the center of the city today
absolutely unmolested. The caravan

Chicago Employers Association Makes
Customary Reply.


Customary Reply.
Chicago, May 5-A fruitless con-
ference has been held by the strike
leaders and Levy Mayer, attorney for
the employers association.
Attorney Mayer asked President
Shea on what terms he would call off
the strike. Shea replied, I'VE will call
the strike off on condition the en-
ployers discharge all the nonunion
men they have imported and take the
old men back~in their places"
THE employers can not accede to
that demand" replied Attorney Mayer.
why, you have been importing
negroes by the hundred" said Shea.
do you mean to say that you refuse
to discharge negroes and reinstate
white men?"
$50 long as a teamster does his
work he will not be discharged, be he
black or white" replied the lawyer.
"That is an outrage" said President
Shea. "You have brought these ne
grOes in here to fight us, and we an
swer that we have the right to attack
them wherever found
'Then do so. at your peril retorted
Mayer.
Shea said that the union wanted the
strikers reinstated, after which the
employers would be asked to arbitrate
the underlying differences which
brought on the strike. The reply of
the attorney to this was;
Under no circum stances will we
discharge any of the men brought
here to take the places of strikers. We
have nothing to arbitrate.. We assert
our right to use the public streets for
and the right to employ teamsters,
black or white, at our discretion"
This ended the conference, and the
labor leaders took their departure.

poria Sunday at ? p. m, a special train
leaving here Saturday morning with
the body The Knights Templar will
conduct the funeral. Mr.. Sedgwick
had a 100000 policy in the Massachu-
setts Mutual and one for $4,000 in the
Connecticut Mutual and also several
thousand dollars in fraternal COM
panies.
Among the prominent men of Kansas
probably none achieved greater success
than has T. n. Sedgwick of Parsons,
and probably none had greater obstacles
to contend with. Beginning life with
out money, friends or influence, NIr
Sedgwick rose from the bottom to the
top in his profession, through his own
unaided efforts.
Judge Sedgwicz z-as born in Shelby
county, Illinois, August IS, 1S49. His
parents were unable financially to give
him the education he desired. Always
q great readen. he read everything he
could get his hands on and digested
what he read. While still young he
struck out in life for himself Being
impressed with the opportunities which
Kansas offered to a young man, he de-
cided to take Horace Greeley'S advice
and came west to grow up with the
country He came direct to Kansas
and located at Emporia. This was in
1870.
He entered the law Office of Ed S.
Office boy. He applied himself assid-
uously to the study of law, and after
something ever a years study ne
passed a remarkably successful eX-
animation, and was admitted to the
bar. This was in 1874.
Although not much inclined to
politics, Judge Sedgwick held two pub
lie Offices. He was justice of the peace
at Emporia for two years and was
county attorney of Lyon county from
I1877 to 1888 It was during his term
as county attorney that Judge Sedg-
wick laid the foundation for his tame
as a lawyer.
Tudpe Sedgwfck accomplished some
thing never known to have been &C
complished before or since. 1t con-
sisted of compelling a rallroad corpof-
alton to surrender Donds Wnlch mao

construction of the railroad Lyon
county voted and issued bonds to the
amount of 100000 to aid in the con-
str1ction of what is now known as the
Howard branch of the Santa Fe. The
articles called for the construction of
a narrow gauge road but before the
road was completed the Santa Fe Sc
cured control of it and turned it into
a standard gauge. Although Lyon
county had secured a better road than
it had bargained for, Judge Sedgwick
conceived the idea of saving the peO-
pie of the county the amount repre-
sented by the bonds on the simple
technicality of the road not being a
narrow gauge.
He notified George r. Peck then so
Iicftor of the Santa Fe, that he proposed
to commence an action to compel the
road to surrender the bonds issued by
the county. By agreement the case was
fled in the federal court here E~~Topeka.
It was vigorously fought by the Santa
F'e, but at every turn Judge Sedgwick
won out Finally Peck gave up and
surrendered the bonds.
When the late Colonel H. c. Cross
was appointed one of the receivers of the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad,
Judge Sedgwick was appointed solicitor
for the road in Kansas.
