stigation of members of the grand jury and at the start it was planned rather to secure evidence of conspiracy on the part of the labor leaders. than to vote indictments in connection with specific acts of violence. The jurors concluded that the question of violence was too broad for them to take up in She limited time at their disposal, and confined themselves to the question of conspiracy alone.
 One count in the indictments charges the defendants with conspiring to pre- vent all persons not members of the teamsters union. from securing em- pIOyment as drivers. It is described in the count as being contrary to "po- lice morals" Another count charges conspiracy to prevent any union team ster from picking up or delivering any goods to or from Montgomery, Ward and company. It is called trade mor- als." The third count charges conspir- acy to do an illegal act in that the teamsters were warned not to do any work for Montgomery, Ward and com pany. The fourth charges that the con- spirators compelled the proprietor of the Windsor Clifton hotel to put out certain guests of the hotel because they were employees of Montgomery. Ward and company The indictments differ only in minor points. The strike con tinued to spread today, and a large number of teamsters employed by lum- bermen. and various coal companies, went out.
 Tn most serious phase of the trouble today was t.,a aggressiVenes of the packers, ice dealers and commission lnen. who have decided that they will Efa Ia Of ha pIoyers' association and demand that their teamsters make deliveries where the firm employing them desires such deliveries to be made. IL was decided by the packers. ice dealers and com mission men that they would issue or dars for deliveries to the boycotted firms and. that if any teamster declin- ed to make them, he is to be instantly discharged.
 This means a lockout, for the men have already declared that they will not make such deliveries. More than twenty-five hundred men will be in vo!ved when this action is taken by the packers, dealers and commission men. The wholesale grocers also de- cided this afternoon, that they would demand of their men, that goods bs delivered to the boycotted firms and a prompt dismissal of every teamSter refusing to comply will be ordered. This will add 500 more to the number
 4 men nov ol strike. So far tke strike has not in any appreciable man ner, interefered with the food supply of the city save to make the arrival Of certain articles somewhat slow.
 There is a strong sentiment among the labor men to have President Roosevelt interfere in t.e strike when be arrives in the city on his return from his present vacation. John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers union arrived in this city to- day and held a conference with a number of tho strike leaders. He is expected 10 attend a meeting tomor- row of the Chicago Federation of La bor.
 Fighting in the streets today, was the most vicious since the commence ment Of the strike. Three persons were shot. two were stabbed, and fully a score suffered from bruises and broken heads. In nearly every portion of the business district today there were nu- merous hand-tO-hand encounters be- tween union and nOn-union men.
