No Thought of Peace.

Negotiations for peace, which prom
ised for a time last week to be success
full have apparently been abandoned
for the present at least, as both sides
are so far apart on any plans of settle
ment By mediation that further efforts
in this direction are believed TO be fu-
tile
The employers declare that they have
conceded every point possible. The
strikers assert that a settlement along
the lines proposed by the employers
would mean "dishonorable surrender -
and this the officials of the teamsters'
union emphaticaily declare they Will
never do.

Transfers Strike.
REFERENDUM VOTE TAKEN
SETTLEMENT or THE TROUBLE
SEEMS FAR AWAY.

= HICAGO, June 1.-THE Chicago
L. Team Owners association. an OF
ganization employing 5000 union
teamsters. has decided to remain neu-
trail in the present labor struggle now
in progress in Chicago. Ever since the
commencement of the teamsters' strike
the Team Owners association has been
anxious to have the question of max
ing deliveries to strike-bound houses
submitted to arbitration. The team
sters, by a unanimous vote, refused to
agree tos the proposition and for time
it was believed that the team owners
would force a strike of these 5000 dTi-
vers by ordering them to make deIiy-
cries to firms involved in the strike.
Referendum Vote.
In an effort to learn the sentiment Of
the members of the association regard
ing the matter, it was decided to take
referendum vote on the question. This
vote was completed today and resulted
in 155 OF the members voting TO re
main neutral during the trouble and in
three members voting to compel the
teamsters TO obey orders. The decision
reached by the owners means that
there viii be no strike of these men and
the threatened expansion of the trou-
bic in this direction has been aveTted.
The Team Owners association viii hold
a meeting tomorrow night when an Of
fetal announcement of the result of the
referendum vote will be made.

WASHINGTON, May 4.-Captain Cut

ment Of the crew were permitted to go
ashore, returning in good time and In
good condition. Subsequently monthly
money was paid to the men, when, it is
stated, between twenty-five and thirty or
them left the ship without permission.
