IT LOOKS PEACEFUL.
Conditions Of Chicago Strike Seem
to Offer Hope.
MAYOR DUNE TAKES FIRM STAND.
II strike spreads VIII Call Troops
President Bumpers Ii There
More strike Break
ers Arrive.

Chicago, May 17.--Although no facts
have as yet transpired to fully warrant
the prediction, 1t is asserted both by
members Of the Employers Associa-
ton and by the conservative element
In the ranks Of the teamsters that the
present strike will be called off, prob
ably within 48 hours and certainly
by the end of the week. 1t is not
likely that any definite action looking
to an adjustment Of the trouble will
be taken prior to the meeting Of the
national officers of the teamsters'
union, which. 1t is expected, will be
held here Wednesday.
Chief among the causes which lead
to the prediction of settlement are
the firm stand taken both by Mayor
Dunno, when in conference with Pres
ident Shea and officials Of the local
teamsters' union, he assured them that
any further spread of the strike would
certainly make 1t necessary for him
to call for troops, and the arrival OF
President Samuel Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor who
reached the city Tuesday evening.
Although not possessed Of execu-
tive power in the settlement Of, the
strike President Gompers declared
that he had every hope that its end
was not far distant.
at was my intention to come to
Chicago anyway, at the end of this
week." said Mr.. Gompers, '"but after
holding a conversation over the tel
ephone with Mr.. Shea yesterday, l de-
cided to anticipate my visit somewhat
and came at once. l certainly shall
do all in my power to end the strike
and have great hope of success"
after leaving his train, President
Gompers went into conference with
President Shea and local officials of
the teamsters' union This conference
lasted until a late hour Tuesday night.
The Employers Association and the
express companies increased their
scope of delivery still further Tuesday.
Something over 1000 wagons were in
use and business for the most part
was transacted without hindrance Of
any kind. There were few cases of
small-sized rioting which were dis
persed by a few policemen who used
their clubs In vigorous fashion. The
merchants and department stores are
confident that they will be able to
extend their operations still further
Wednesday and have at least 1890
wagons in full service.
Three hundred and fifty men were
brought into the city Tuesday to take
the place of strikers and as many more
are expected Wednesday.
At the hearing before Master-in-
Chancery Sherman. where evidence
Is being taken relative to the federal
Injunction issued against the strikers,
r. X. Buckminster. superintendent of
a private detective agency. cited fully
two dozen instances of where assaults
had been committed on non-union men
and the federal injunction violated.
He gave names and localities and as
serted the majority of the rioters were
wearing the buttons of the teamsters'
union. The attorneys for the defen-
dants made vigorous objection to the
admission of his testimony, but the
master allowed 1t to go in.

JAP TACTICS PULLING.
Give Way at Slightest Pressure on
Their Center.

Gunshu Pass, Manchuria, May 81
The Japanese tactics are puzZling.
They give way at the slightest pres
sure against their center on both the
railroad and the Mandarin road. The
Chinese explain the retirement to
trouble among the reserves, some of
whom, they say, are almost in state
of revolt because the government has
not kept its promise to return them to
Japan.
The retirement of the Japanese CEN
ter Is interpreted by some of the Rus
sian officers as a postponement of
Field Marshal Oyama's offensive be-
cause of the bad state of the roads,
but this view is not shared by all the
officers.
In order to prevent wrangling over
the question of reward or censure aris-
ing from reports forwarded by the
commander-in-chief through the army
corps commander General Linevitch,
in an order of the day, has directed
that copies of the original reports of
all encounters and individual exploits
be transmitted to his staff as well as
briefer reports through the ordinary
channels.

born, in connection with a murder in
which Shea, when a young man, is al
legged to have been Involved In this
line of questioning Attorney Mayer
often alluded to Mrs. Shea and her
daughter. Shea jumped from the wit
ness stand and told Attorney Mayer
that he was willing to answcr all ques-
tions concerning his family but that
Mr.. Mayer had better not cast any
slurs unon either A fierce wrangle

Madrid, May 2T.-Three thousand
starving persons from neighboring vii

bread or work. They are headed by
landowners who were lately prosper
Gus but are now poor as the most pow
erty stricken peasants.
The procession assembled in front
of the prefecture and the mob ap-
pealed to the prefect, who declared he
was unable to help them. He forbade
them to beg and urged them to return
to their homes.
The leaders pleaded that to return
meant death from starvation. Many
of those taking part in the procession
dropped In the streets from exhaus.
tion. The prefect did not enforce his
order against begging. The leaders
visited large number of houses ask
ing assistance.

WHEN l. uMBER Is HANDLED
BY NoNUNIoN DRIVERS.
SERIOUS DISORDERS ARE REPORTED
CHICAGO POLICE COMPELLED TO
USE REvOLvERS IN oUELL-
ING DISTURBANCES.

Chicago, May 27.-With the fiftieth
day of the teamsters' strike comes
increasing serious apprehension of a
huge spread of the Industrial disorder
that has marked the progress of un-
settled conditions. The lumber dis
trict and its dependencies hold the
key. Carpenters are restive and some
are refusing to continue at work
where unfair" lumber is used. The
Carpenters District Council has not
ordered action, but $4,000 carpenters
may be involved If the individuals
persist in their hostile attitude.
Significant of the probable approach
of lumber famine in the manufac-
turing industries was the shutdown
of the j. w Landis milling plant. This
company attempted to do business
under police protection but gave it up.
Vigorous enforcement of the police
order to clear out saloons in the lum-
ber district and the movement of con-
siderable lumber under guard brought
out several riotous disturbances. Shots
were fired and many arrests were
made. Mayor Dunno, however, after
a review of the situation said that the
condition did not warrant the call for
soldiers.
Several of the express companies
dispatched wagons through the streets
without police guards. The vehicles,
nevertheless, were not without protec-
tion, being entrusted to deputy sher-
ifs

WEAVER CONTROLS SITUATION.
Organization Leaders Confer Regard.
inu Next Move.


Philadelphia, May 26--It is the gen.
eral opinion that Mayor Weaver for
the present controls the situation in
his fight with the Republican leaders
over the proposed lease Of the city gas
works. The next deve'' cments are ex-
pected to come from the "organiza-
tion" Insurance Commissioner Dur
ham and his lieutenants were In con-
ference until late at night and their
deliberations were resumed in the
morning soon after Mr.. Durham
reached his Office Later he repaired
to the Office OF United States Senator
Penrose and was In consultation with
him for some time. There Is still
some talk of Impeachment proceedings
against the mayor and there is no
longer any denial that this course has
been seriously considered by the lead
ers and their legal advisers. Those
who advise against this step argue
that any attempt to impeach Mayor
Weaver at this time wotid only serve
to strengthen his position with the
public.
Just now the attitude of the men,
bers of the council Is giving the lead
ers almost as much concern as any
other feature OF their contest with the
mayor.
Mayor Weaver announces that he
has received a sufficient number of
pledges of select and common council
men to prevent the passage Of the gas
lease resolution next Thursday. He
declined to make public the names of
the councfImen

RIoTING IN LUMBER DISTRICT
Police Compelled to Draw Revolvers
and Charge Mob.

Chicago, May 27.-Strike riots have
begun in the neighborhood of the lum-
ber district. At Thirty-fifth and Nor
gan streets twenty lumber and shay
ing wagons, guarded by upwards of
forty police, were attacked by a crowd
of more than 400 strike sympathizers
with bricks, stones and slingshots.
While the police confined themselves
to clubs the.flghting waged indecisive-
ly. FINALLY the police drew revolvers
and charged the crowd. The sight of
the frearms' quickly quieted things,
the mob fleeing wholesale. No arrests
were made. AT Thirtyfourth street
nearby police on guard were later
forced indoors. Many of the strike
sympathizers armed themselves with
small air rifles and from behind lum-
per piles and buildings fired intermit-
teptly at the police, number of whom
were struck without being able to see
their assailants and were finally forced
TO take refuge In office and other near
by buildings.

NECESSITY FOR TROOPS.
Mayor and Business Interests Hold Diff.
ferent Opinions.

ferent Opinions.
Chicago, May zT1suteamstsrs'
strike is running all flood
tide, no barrier appearing l(lhy' uilIDc-
tion to keep 1t within definite bounds,
and while 1t has been spreading inter-
est has shifted temporarily from the
strife between employers and labor
unions to differences between the busi-
ness interests involved and the local
administration authorities.
In the face of declarations by the
employers that the police department
of the city is absolutely inadequate to
afford protection to property as re-
suit of conditions brought about by the
strikes spread to the lumber district
Mayor Dunno announced that there
will be no necessity to call for troops
this week
The lumbermen, the latest interest
to be affected by the strike, are not so
optimistic. They seem TO be living in
terror of riotous uprising in the vast
area embraced by their yards and
plants--a district peculiarly inviting
to incendiarism.
In anticipation of trouble in the lum-
ber district the mayor instructed Chief
of Police O'Neill to close all saloons
there between the hours of ! and z
p. m In cases where crowds were per-
mitted to gather inside or outside the
premises.
In preparation for a protracted strike
siege the Transfers Joint Council has
arranged to send agents to all parts of
the country for the purpose of gather
ing funds.
