STRIKE IS CONTINUED
BECAUSE OF EXPRESS DRIVERS.
Chicago Teamsters' Union Declare
Peace Negotiations OF Because Elk.
press Drivers Are Left Out.

Chicago. May 2l.-The strike OF the
teamsters. instead OF being declared
on. will be spread to greater proper
tions. This was decided last night by
the members OF the teamsters' Joint
council. which was in session until
midnight.
The council met at S O'Clock to hear
the report OF the negotiations that had
been in progress with the employers
throughout the day. They agreed to
all the stipulations OF the employers
with the exception OF that which de-
clared that the drivers OF the express
companies should not be taken back.
This was the rock upon which the
peace program was wrecked. and after
several hours OF debate II was decided
that the Transfers union could not
leave tho express drivers to make n
lone fight, but must stand by them.
II was decided to call of the ne
gotiations and prepare for u further
fight.
The sense OF the meeting was eS-
pressed in the following statement.
which was given out as defining the
position OF the teamsters:
at is due to the public and members
OF the Teamsters' organization that
statement be issued relative to our po'
sition In refusing TO accept the prop.
osition submitted by the Employers
association. The Employers associa'
tion offered n proposition which might
have received favorable considcra'
ton from the strikers and their com
mittcc providing II carried with II no
proyIso that would act aS dctrlmcnt
to any Part OF our organization.
Their proposition. however. carried
with II that the strike against the rail-
| way express companies be declared on
| without those companies agreeing 10
the proposition made by tho employers
| or any other proposition. they having
made the statement that they hnd held
n meeting and decided. that no strikers
would ever again be rc-cmploycd M

or it's officials. could not accept.
We believe that the railway cS'
press companies are not Justified In
their refusal to rcinStatc any OF their
former employees.
Under these conditions II Ia incum'
bent upon the members OF the Team
Etcrs' organization to continue the
strike until such time as the express
companies will agree TO the same con
ditlons as those offered by the Employ
crs' association"

NEGOTIATIONS BLOCKED.
Intense Feeling In China In Regard to
Exclusion Treaty.

Washington. May 2O.-hil hope OF
the success OF the pending ncgotin-
tIons OF the new Chinese exclusion
treaty for the present has been aban-
doncd by the Chinese officials. ms re.
suit Of the wave of resentment that
has swept over China since IL became
known that II was planned TO transfer
the negotiations to Pckln and that the
Department OF Commerce and Labor
was insisting upon It's own inicrproia'
i!on OF the exclusion law.
Reports have reached the Chinese
legation Of the extent OF this feeling
throughout the Chinese empire and OF
The hostility Of the Chinese CONNER
clal guilds TO American goods. which
might result. II IN asserted. In gen
cral boycott against American prod.
ucts even were II possible to conclude
the exclusion treaty now.
The Chinese legation hero declares
that there Is no Intention of bringing
fuIt In the Supreme Court OF the
United States in behalf OF tho Chinese
excluded or dcportcd. In view OF the
treaty Of 1855. All such infringe
mcnts Of that treaty. the legation holds
to be diplomatic matters entirely and
an appeal will he had not TO the
courts. but to the state department.
Briefly put. the position OF the legation
here. which reflects that Of the Pckin
government. Is stated as follows:
THE expiration last December OF
tho exclusion treaty Of 1894 leaves In
force the treaty OF 1850. The legation
does not for n moment question the
right Of the duty OF the department
OF commerce and labor TO enforce cS-
listing laws. The relations Of the
United States and China. are. however.
regulated by treaty and not by laws.
and Il IL expected that any violation
Of existing treaties will be fully com.
pensatcd for by Indemnity.
