Chicago, May f24-F'inal rejection
OF union demands. especially those Of
express drivers. was officially an
nounced today BY employers. They
demanded practically unconditional
SURRENDER Neither side made a a.
rect step toward peace and each was
apparently waiting the next move of
IT'S opponent. Employers sent their
goods all over the city, under police
protection, without encountering VIC.
lence.
Mysterious Move For Peace.
There was one peace effort today
and it was enveloped in mystery. 1t
was said that "a prominent business
mar" was making efforts to induce
managers Of the express companies
to make terms satisfactory to the
striking drivers, and hat he had
promised them good news" Moth.
ing came of the attempt, however, and
there was no good news tonight ror
either side,
The strike In the lumber district
spread today with great rapidity and
practically all business Of that kind is
at a standstill. Some few lumber
yards are still In operation, but their
volume OF business lis so small as fo1
amount to practically nothing. A
number OF planning mills and sash and
door factories were compelled To short
en- operations today and by Friday ut
least viii be compelled to close en-.
Itirely II the supply Of lumber Is not
largely increased. Lumber yards made
little effort fo transact business today
\ and were waiting for. drlxers ri he

/ nected, win be ait work tomorrow
1000 Extra Policemen.
One case for the lack of energy on
the part of employers in the lumber
district today was that the city will
not be able to afford them police pro-
lection Mayor Dunno provided against
tbs contingency tonight by issuing 4
call for 1000 extra policemen. who
will be sworn in as rapidly as appIica-
tions are filed BY suitable men. This
will be the second 1000 extra police
men sworn in since the commence,
ment Of the strike.
