Transfers OUT TO Be BLACkLIS7ED
Employers Extend Invitation to Transfers to
Return.-.Win Blacklist After Certain Date
The Strike Leaders viii Try to Have Courts Restrain the
Employers From Any Such Procedure

Chicago, May 13.-Employers dur
ing the day began the execution of a
new policy as toethe teamsters' strike,
men in various manufacturing indus
tries being laid off because of the lack
of business brought about by the
strike. At the Employers association
Office it was said the number of men
laid OF because of dullness in trade
and consequent lack of demand for
certain manufactured goods would run
into the thousands and would con-
tinue unless normal business condi-
tons returned soon.
Hundreds of wagons were sent out
during the day by strikebound houses,
advertisements for teamsters filled
the Newspapers and on every side was
evidence of the aggressiveness of the
employers. The department stores
particularly caused large advertise
ments to appear simultaneously in the
newspapers announcing that men are
wanted to "f1ll permanent positions"
as teamsters and drivers. Protection
was promised to prospective drivers
and the character of men the depart
ment stores desire to recruit was in
dfcated by the fact that references
are required from applicants. Most
Of the advertisements state that "un-
ion or nonunion" men will be &C.
cepted. 'a.'' i.'a@
Will Blacklist Strikers.
It was stated authoritatively during
the day that early next week the En-
ployers' association would make up a

gone out on strike. These men, 1890
In all, will be notified that they can
come back to work any time during
the week, but that If they have not
returned by the end of next week they
will never be reinstated under any
circumstances. The blacklist pro-
gramme is said to be more complete
and definite than that which was fol-
lowed during the A. r. q. strike.
