aspect today and tonight the in
terests which have been opposing the
striking teamsters are not as united
as heretofore. The cause of this slight
dissension is the Team Owners aSsoeia-
ton, which has contracts with the rail-
roads and many of the large firms
throughout the city To transfer their
merchandise Until today il was sup
posed that the Employers association
and their allies were firmly bound to-
gether in the fight for supremacy
against the teunSters.
Left in the Lurch.
The Team Owners association. which
employs none but union te4msters.
fatty refused this afternoon 10 make
deliveries to any of the firms now in
Volved i'm the strike. when ordered to
do 50 by the Employers association.
When the employers received this
ultimatum they notified the team own
crs that unless they recognized the re
quest that no discrimination he made
in deliveries, an effort would be made
u have all existing contracts between
the team owners and the business
houses and the railroads cancelled, The
railroad men, contrary to the hopes Of
the members of the Employers asso-
citation. did not exert the influence on
the team owners that was expected.
Railroads Conservative.
They took practically the same stand.
declaring that the fight was something
into which the railroads did not pur-
pose to enter: that they had contracts
with the team owners. that these con-
tracts We're at present being fulfilled
to their entire satisfaction and they
could see no reason why the railroads
should be dragged into the struggle.
The Commission Team Owners and
the Lake Transportation Team Owners
associations have also taken a similar
stand to that of the Chicago Team
Owners association.
One Thousand Extra Police.
One thousand men will be added 90
the police force tomorrow and viii be
put on strike duty as rapidly as they
are needed. Nine hundred of them
viii be placed on State street alone
Judge g - kOhlSaat. of the United
States court at the request of the at
tOrneyS representing seven express
companies today issued a temporary
injunction restraining all persons from
interfering with the wagons of the
petitioners or the men employed upon
them.
Savage Fighting.
The fighting today i'm the streets was
even more fierce and savage than that
of yesterday. The strikers and their
sympathizers attacked the uou-uaiou
men at every opportunity assajiing
them with bricks. stones, clubs. knives
and any other offensive weapon upon
which they could lay their hands The
fighting occurred in the heart of the
business section of the city men being
shot down within POO feet of the retail

own lives.
Work of HoodIums.
In many instances men walking
along the streets who had uu active
connection whatever with the strike
were assaulted by hoodlums. who beat
them first and then later accused them
of being strike breakers. a notable in
stance of this kind was that of Rev.
w. X. Wheeler, pastor of the Ninth
Presbyterian church. who. while PASS
ing the corner of DespIaines and
Adams street on his way To the Penn
sylvania station was attacked bv three
men, who knocked him down aud beat
him numerically until the timely ar
rival of the police saved him from
critical injury. Mr. Wheeler. managed
to hold one of his assailants until the
police could arrest him
William Miles a colored waiter. while

SangamOn streets, half a miIe from any
former. scene of TiotiHE during the
strike, was also "a victim of the strik-
ers' fury, although he had had no
connection whatever with the trouble.
He was accused of being a strike
breaker, was pounded ON the head with
2 billy, knocked down and tram0led on.
Miles was removed 10 the hoSuitaI
where his injuries were pronounced Sc
we're.
One Man Killed.
As far as known but one man was
killed during the day. The list of in
jured is much greater than that which
it is possible to obtain In many cases
the non-uniOn men swung their clubs
with great effect knocking men from,

crowds and it is difficult TO see how
the members OF the mob could escare

fired should have gone wild.
