WILL THE STRIKE SPREAD
Likely to DO That or BE Settled Soon. II
the Belief.


The strike situation at the beginning
OF new week is critical. Within
few days 1t is almost certain either
to spread into vastly greater proper
tons or to be definitely settled. Three
meetings of employers associations are
scheduled for the immediate future to
take important action. The Team
Owners are to meet to consider the
question of locking out 5000 teamsters
n case the arbitration proposal is not
accepted when the truck teamsters
take up the matter this evening. The
box manufacturers will confer over
taking aggressive action. The CON-
mission team owners meet today.
Reports that President Shea ''alone
and singlehanded" had blocked the
peace overtures of Saturday night were
laughed down by the labor leaders.
they all declared that before President
Shea appeared at the joint council
meeting it practically was decided to
refuse to accept Levy Mayors terms.
The union button was the cause of the
main objection to the pact.
Leaders of the transfers strike put
themselves on record as willing to re-
sumo negotiations at any time with
their former employers. They are un-
cquivocally pledged to a plan to do all
future conference work direct with the
merchants and to avoid lawyers, how
ever. Shea said: ''There will be no
settlement that does not provide for
the express drivers. l mean by that
10 union will do work formerly done
6y our union express drivers. We will
rot make any dishonorable settle
ment."
Meantime, although it seems impos-
sible in the higher courts to convict
nybody, the court injunctions are be-
ing violated and attacks continue on
len who do not wear the union but
ton. A brutal and cowardly assault
strikers will in all probability add
mother murder to the strike fatalities.

GR0SsCUP GIVES THEM RELIEF
Declares Their Conviction Was Wrong
Under the Facts.
Other Men Indicted by the Grand Jury
Strike Is Once More Expected
To Be Settled or Ex-
tended.

Chicago, June 6.-Bernard Mulligan
and John II. Donahue, under sentence
for contempt of court, won a victory
In Judge Grosscup's court when a stay
was granted, allowing the case to go
to the United States circuit court of
appeals. The court intimated his be-
lief that the commitment of the two
labor leaders to jail was a most ex-
traordinary proceeding in view of the
fact that the purpose of their testi-
mony undoubtedly was to establish a
link in the chain of evidence against
them. The judge declared that the
right to refuse to testify on the ground
that it might incriminate was one of
the sacred precepts of the law.
Five More Men Indicted.
Another important development of
the day was the fact, that besides the
twenty labor men reported indicted by
the grand jury for conspiracy five 9th
ers were the subject of true bills. The
men indicted are: "Billy" Swanson,
alias 'The Terrible Swede;;" Douglas
Hamilton; Ernest Ruck, alias SOL

Evidence In Favor of Garrigan. 49,
In Judge Kohlsaat's court Daniel
Garrigan, the city fireman who stands
accused Of having assaulted Frank
Curry, presented an affidavit in which
he denies that he took part in any riot,
as alleged, at Lake and River streets.
He admitted that he secured the ar
rest Of two negroes and asserted that
they resisted arrest. He declares also
that both negroes, upon trial in the
police court, were fined $S5 and costs.
Especially did he. deny that he swore
that he would get Curry ~if he had
to go to Kingdom Come" for that pur-
pose. His affidavit was supported by
Policemen Edward P. O'Malley and
John G. Lorsch; WILDER f. Miller, a
suburban salesman for James B. Glow

contractor; r. G. Peterson, Rush

Four More Bears Killed.

Denver, April ga Republican spe
cial from Glenwood Springs last night
says: Four bears were killed by the
Presidents party yesterday. Details
Of the killing have not yet come in
Late to-day Secretary Loeb received q
telephone message from ranch house
two miles from camp. The message
was dictated by the President and
read to Mr.. Loeb by Elmer Chapman
the courier. 1t said:
1--WE got four bears yesterday. We
are all WE'LL"
There was more to the message
touching upon governmental affairs
but the rumor that the President had
been ill was proven unfounded. 1t has
not been determined when the party
will move to its new location about
sixteen miles from Glenwood Springs
At the same time it is believed the
change proposed will result in the kill
ing OF grizzlies, which variety has
been particularly scarce. Brown bears
have been found in plenty, bu. the
grizzly and the silver tip appear to be
too willy for the hunters.
Souvenir hunters are haunting the
shop Of Frank Hayes, the local taxi
dermist who is mounting the skins
sent in by the President. He Is giving
away Joints from the feet of the bears
killed. His mail is growing heavier
every day because Of the prominence
given him as ...le mounter of the
trophies from the Presidents hunt.
