tory OF the city. The present5troupie,i
Which has lasted for two weeks, has
reached a point where the business
men involved in the difficulty appear
to have gained a decided advantage,
and the teamsters appear now to be
in a position where they must either
yield or decide to extend the strike
by calling out thousands of other work
men engaged in affiliated unions. This,
the strike leaders up to the present
time have refrained from doing, While,
on the other hand, the business men
yesterday made preparations which, II
carried out successfully today, would
indicate that the teamsters will be
compelled to surrender or call on the
other unions for assistance.
The Chicago Federation of Labor,
the central body for all the unions in
the city, met but took no action look

great deal of incendiary talk WAS in

exception of the passing of resolutions

strikers to terms. Arrangements ave
been made by every house involved in
| the trouble to at least double the force
OF non-union men during the day. Last
night it was said that all preparations
had been made to start out a thousand
wagons manEed by nonunion men.
Each of these wagons will be guarded
by deputy sheriffs or policemen, and
each one of these men has received eX-
plicit instructions from his superior Of
ticers to prevent disturbances of any
kind whatever in the streets, such as
We're witnessed last week. The in
structions of each of the deputy sheriffs
and each of the policemen is to use
every peaceable means in his power to
quiet the rioters, but if this means
proves unsuccessful to use his revolver
and use ii to kill.
Chicago, May 9.--The story that a
dynamite BON was hurled at Il United
States express wagon d@ring a riot in
West NanBEren street last night was
sent out from the D~esplaines street po-
lice station today. Special Agent Eddy,
Of the express company, says no bomb
was thrown, nor was a wagon dam
aged. Three arrests We're made, one
man, julius ~Hildebranc, being formal
ly accused of assault with a deadly
weapon Henry Pfeiffer and Joseph
Roger were released on bail. Hide
brand declares he took no nart III Vlo-
lence and says he was on the way
home when caught in the cro,id.
During the da the three prisoners
We're arraigned in court. The case OF
Hildebrand was taken under advise,
ment. The other two were dismissed
Rain Helps Produce Peace.
The rain today was perhaps more III,
huential even than the police anl
deputy sheriffs in giving a more peace
full aspect to thtastreets. Much of thu
time the wagons belonging to The
strike-bound firms moved freely with
out the slightest sign of Interference.
The withdrawal of the colored team
sters to some extent was also q factoI
in producing quiet.
Street disturbances, though sreatl!
lessened today, did not wholly disap
pear. Rioters attacked Charles Nc
Intire, colored. at Cottage Grove ave
nue. and TWelty-siXth street, beatin;
him almost to death with 'black
jacks Several shots We're fired from
a crowd in Desplaines street at non
union teamsters, but no one was in
jured. The department stores and eX
press companies had n number of thei
employees sWor.. in as deputy sheriff
