NO PEACE PROSPECTS
CHICAGO STRIKE is SPREADING

Renewal Of Rioting Expected-Aetion
Of Wood Industry Employers Will
Drive Out Eighteen Hundred Men
Sheriff viii Call for Troops.
Chicago. May 24-An hope of a
peaceful settlement Of the Chicago
strike vanished yesterday when the 10
cal managers Of the express companies
refused to reinstate their drivers who
struck when ordered to deliver goods
to boycotted stores.
The sheriff of Cook county despairs
Of being able to control the situation
and renewal of rioting. now deemed
certain. will result in placing 1000
state troops on duty within two hours.
The lumbermen's association insists
that its drivers shall deliver goods to
the boycotted houses. and As fast az
they refuse they are discharged. This
Will soon cause the strike to spread
throughout the building trades, the un
lon men being expected to refuse to
handle material delivered by non -un
lon teamsters.
The last conference looking toward
. peaceful adjustment was held at 9
O'Clock lSst night between James B.
Barry, business agent of the express
drivers union, and the local managers
OF seven express companies.
The conference had been set for an
early hour In the afternoon. but, ow-
ing to the failure Of Mr.. Barry to re-
ceive proper notice, 1t was postponed
until this evening.
When the meeting finally took place.
the conversation was brief and pointed
Business Agent Barry opened the nego-
tiations by saying:
Our position is this: l want all the
men reinstated except those who
have been guilty of violence. l can
not do anything different. That is
what the local union wants, and that
Is what the local officers have told me
to demand. That is all can do. The
men told me that all want to go back
in body, or they won't go back at all.
That Is the position of the union and
the union officials"
The reply of the representatives of
the express companies was brief. 1t
was:
Our opposition to the reinstatement
of the men will be the same four
years from now as it is to-day. We will
not take them back under any circum-
stances"
This brought the conference to a
close. and all parties concerned in 1t
Immediately left the City hall.
A meeting of the United Employers
Association Of Wood Industries, which
is composed Of five associations, en-
bracing 1876 firms owning lumber yards,
planning mills, sash and door fac
tories, etc, was held to-day, and 1t was
decided to call upon their drivers to
make deliveries. This will force out
1900 additional men.
Sheriff Barrett said last night:
eat the first outbreak Of trouble
which in any way approaches the riot
ing we have had, shall call fol
troops. will do everything in my
power to maintain order, but the min
ute 1t gets beyond me will appeal te
the governor and the troops will be or

"MENACEs" TO CIVILIZATION.

1t is so seldom that really sensi-
BILE comment is found on the social
ed evils of the age, that the append
ed article is reproduced. Its potent
point is that while the trusts and
other causes or effects, whichever
they are regarded, may produce un-
desirable conditions, they do not
cause worse diseases than they cure.
This is consoling and reassuring-
but here is the article itself, from
the Saturday Evening Post:
"The London Spectator has decid-
ed that the goings-on of our rich
men and corporations in politics and
industry constitute a menace to civ
ilization' and warn us that we must
make haste to call halt.
True, our problem or corrupt
corporate power is large; but TO call
1t menace to civilization is silly.
AS the Spectator itself points out,
we have, in laws already upon our
statute books, ample remedy. The
fact that the problem, though so
new, is SO well in hand shows that
our civilization is no such fiimsy
affair as is Imagined by the Specta-
tor and our other foreign critics who
still speak of the Republic as an Eek
pertinent Now II with us savage
abuses of concentration Of power
and class oppression were enacted
into law and defended as just and
right. as they are in England, for
example. talk of menace OF ciyill-
cation would not be so wild.
'As soon as we see exactly how to
re-establish equality before the law,
as soon as we find remedies for our
ills that will not cause worse diseas-
es than they cure, our kind friends
who have so much neglected house
keeping in their own homes will see
how vain and idle is this corporate
menace to democracy"
