Chicago, June 5.-Developments OF
the utmost significance in the team
sters' strike hinge on the outcome OF
arbitration negotiations beween the
owners and the teamsters with in the
next few days. Both sides are in an
aggressive mood, and failure to reach
an agreement, it is predicted, will
force a walk out of 10000 more team
sters and bring idleness to thousands
of workmen in other craft If the
members of the Chicago Team Own
ers association force the issue with
their drivers similar action on rn5
part Of oher teaming organizations, it
is said, is practically certain.
Ii the teamsters agree to arbitrate
the question of the right Of the team
owners to make deliveries to strike
bound houses the decision, it is con-
ceded will be in favor of the team
owners, whose contract with the driv-
ers provides that at all times they
shall further the interests of their en-
ployers. With the team owners max
ing deliveries to all the concerns in
volyed in the struggle, the strike, it is
asserted would lose its force at once.
The truck drivers union with which
the team owners have a contract, will
meet tomorrow night and vote on the
arbitration question. The commission
team owners association which has
taken action similar to that of the
team owners association, has confined
the arbitration to the fight OF it's mem
bers to take produce from the express
cars and deliver it to he various mar
kets, the commission wagon drivers
union will vote on the arbitration ques-
tion tomorrow night.
Nonunion men are still harassed by
sluggers.
Albert Johnosn, believed to be a
non union teamster, was severely beat
en- today at Fourteenth and Ashland
avenue. When found by the police
he was insensible and bIeedig from a
wound in the head He was taken to
a hospital where it was found that
several of his ribs were broken. He
will probably die.
Charles Dold, president of the Chica-
go Federation of Labor has resigned
from the teamsters' strike committee.
He asserts that his action was due to
the fact that for several weeks he has
NJ ho so
Organ Union of which he is an official.
Mayor Dunno has replied to criti-
cisms Of himself contained in a report
OF the grand jury In formal state
ment the mayor asserts that the report
is grossly unfair and unjust
Denial is made to the charge that
the mayor failed to exert full authori-
ty. He says:
eff the grand jury means that l
have failed to call in the militia l
answer that until 1 fail to get wag-
ons through the streets and maintain
law and order in the streets, | have
no legal or moral right to call for the
assistance of the militia. | do not in
tend, until it becomes necessary, to
deal Chicago and it's business interests
that huItful blow. The animus be-
hind the whole affair is apparent Sew
eral weeks ago the interests in this
city demanded that l cali in the mi
litia. A situation under the law war
ranting such a call did not then and
has not since existed l refuse to do
so, and l will refuse until it appears
that such a step is necessary"
Immediately after his refusal to call
for the militia the mayor asserted he
was attacked in the "most virulent
manner"
Continuing, he says:
During the whole of the strike I
have decided and acted on allquestions
arising during the controversy as if
| were still sitting on the bench giving
to each side what was its legal right,
no more and no less, and my action
in this regard l submit to the candid
and impartial consideration of my fell
low citizens having at heart the inter
ests of the whole people, without being
swerved from my course by the clamor
from either side"
