DELIVERY THE ISSUE
President Shea Declares There
Will be No "Bac kdOOr
Settlement"

Chicago, May 18.-Aside from the
presence of Samuel Gompers. the in
huence that gave greatest promise o.
settlement of the strike was the ar
duration committee appointed by the
Chicago Team Owners association and
the Teamsters' union.
The question of arbitration is on the
justification of the teamsters in refus
ing to make deliveries to strike af
fected firms. In anticipation of a fav.
orable verdict the large team owners
prepared today to begin hauling to
such stores
Both Name Men.
The team owners met this morning
and appointed as their member of the
arbitration committee Edward J.
Hines. a prominent lumber man. The
teamsters selected William J. Gibbons.
president of the Transfers Joint coun-
ell as their representative These
two after appointing a third member
will. il is announced proceed to settle
the question whether the teamsters
should deliver goods 10 boycotted
houses
Shea UPsets Move.
Later in the day President Shea. of
the Teamsters' International union,
threw cold water on all peaces moves.
He declared he had not considered ar
bitration in any form. and had never
agreed TO arbitrate the question wheth-
er the teamsters should deliver to boy
cotted houses
No .BnckdoOr" settlement.
There Will be no backdoor settle
ment." said Shea. When I am beaten
| will come out and say so" This dec
laration of Shea came as a surprise to
all concerned as it was explicitly
stated last night and today he had
made such an agreement. and threw
the whole peace movement up in the
air
Members of the Team Owners as
sociation Immediately started out to
find Shea and get some idea how and
where they stood.
Gompers Not In Either.
President Gompers professed to be
surprised TO read in the papers that
the teamsters had agreed TO arbitrate
the team owners proposition. He
said:
Il have made no proposition to arbi-
trate this strike. | would not if |
could and could not if | would. The
matter OF a settlement must be taken
up by the officers of the Employers as
sociation and the teamsters. The best
can do is to work for peace and TO
bring the TWO opposite parties to-
gether."
