CONNECTED WITH STRIKE

Chicago, June 2.-Indictments con- nected with the teamsters' strike have been voted by the grand jury and will be returned in Judge Barnes's court to- morrow. The name of the men indict- cd could not be asccrtained this after noon. It was reported, however, that bills would not be voted in connection with the charge made by President Shea of the teamsters' union that he was offered $10,000 to call strike against Sears, Roebuck & Co. It was found that the statutes of limitation barred any indictments, and the evil dence given was largely of heresay character. It was rumored that some indictments would be based on the charges of conspiracy to injure the business of a number of large concerns. and it was also said that some indict- ments would be found for perjury. There is nothing definite. however, in any of these statements.
 Robert J. Thorne, general manager for Montgomery. Ward & Co, was be- fore the grand jury this afternoon and while denying absolutely all knowl- edge of the $10,000 said to have been offered to Shea and other labor leaders. declared that he did not even know Shea at the time the alleged offer of $10,000 was made. This evidence Is in direct opposition to that offered by Shea and Albert Young, former Presi- dent of the teamsters' union.
 Their Final Decision.
 The members of the teamsters' joint council will tomorrow at 2 o'clock in- form Mayor Dunne of their final de- cision regarding the proposition of the Chicago team owners association to arbitrate the question of deliveries to the boycotted houses. It was proposed today that this matter be left to com mittee of seven representing the team sters and 8 like number acting for the team owners association. This was de- clined by the teamsters and they said they would consider the matter, prom ising to make final decision by to morrow afternoon.
 Members of the grand jury endeav- ored today to gather more. complete and later details sof the bFibt sstofteB told by President Shea of the teamsters union, and It's former President, Albert Young. As the statute of limitations has run against most of the alleged bribery matters concerning which Shea and Young testified, the investigators were prepared to search for later overt acts connected with the so-called out iawed" conspiracies-
 To this end the grand jury directed the docket clerk to issue subpoenas for the records of the coal and other
  tified that records would show proof of their statements that prominent coal men paid 1000 in strike bene- fits when the down town building owners substituted coal for fuel gas.
 Rioting broke out afresh today In the lumber district when wagon be- longing to the Rittenhouse and Embry Co. was attacked by a crowd of 100 persons at 32nd Street and Center Av- enue. The mob threw stones and pieces of coal at the non- union team sters Two policemen. who were guarding the wagon, were hit by the missiles and slightly injured.
 The police were obliged to fire sev- eral shots into the air in order to keep the crowd at bay. Upon the arrival of additional police the crowd quickly scattered. No arrests were male.
 Another Strike Threatened.
 Four hundred drivers for the Frank Parmelee Transfer Company threaten to strike The stablemen employed by the firm, 100 in number, also ask an increase and if the strike of drivers occurs it is probable the stablemeD will quit.
 President Shea of the teamsters sup plemented his bribery charges today by declaring that an attempt at brib- cry was made by some of the big pack CTS during the progress of the stock yards strike.
 A conference was held at the May or's office today to see if the teamsters were willing to submit to arbitration the question of permitting the team owners association to make deliveries to the boycotted stores. The contract with the teamsters provide that dts puted matters shall be submitted to arbitration. Before decision was reached President Shea had to obey a call of the grand jury The conference will be resumed as soon as possible. In case the decision Is adverse 1t is stated the teamsters will have to call off the strike .or have an addition of 5000 to the ranks of the strikers.
