No Peace in Chicago in Spite
Of Promise
AND STRIKE MAY SPREAD
Express Companies Refused to Take
Back the Striking Transfers and
This Led to the Present
Deadlock.

Chicago, May % Peace negotiations
which on Saturday appeared to have
ended in settlement of the team
sters' strike ended in dispute. New
conferences have been called for today.
Mayor Dunno and Sheriff Barrett are
preparing their armed force for re-
newaI Of violence. The strike is ex-
pected to spread to other unions in gen
eral. The action Of the railway express
companies is responsible for the reject
ing OF one half-accepted terms by the
teamsters.
A joint council of employers refused
to take back the striking drivers, and
trouble broke out afresh, the situation
today being the same as when the set
tlement talk began week ago.
Sheriff Barrett says he does not ex-
pect any violence for a day or two
as the conferences scheduled for today,
in the hope OF bringing about settle
ment, will act as an armistice until
some definite decision is reached. Both
the mayor and the sheriff say they will
call for troops from the governor il
rioters appear in force on the streets.
Other firms involved in the difficulty
declare that they win stand by the
express companies IN the fight. The
teamsters' union has taken just as firm
ia stand as the employers and it was
said by President Shea that the union
would not call off the strike until the
express companies came to terms.
Strike Is Growing.
This morning when ordered to deliver
goods to the Fair department store, a
strikesbound establishment, the drivers
for the Edward Haines Lumber com
pany refused and We're discharged. Con
sequently all the concerns teamsters
a hundred in number, walked out. In
a number of other cases walkouts are
reported for similar reasons
With non-union drivers making de.
liyeries for the lumber men the strike
viii undoubtedly spread to affiliated in
dustries, as the union men employed on
buildings viii refuse to handle material
delivered by non-union men. Should
this lumbermen's strike be called and
there is nothing that would indicate
how it can be avoided, there seems te
be nothing that can prevent general
industrial upheayal throughout Chi.

Two patrol wagons and an Ambulance
filed with policemen hurried to th'
scene, but it was only after a desper
ate fight in which several Of the riot
ers were bruised with policemen's clubs
that the mob was forcd back from th,
saloon, shouting for Bernstein, the slay
erd of Gray. The police told the Grove

his body to the crowd This had /
