| Chicago, May 4.-The effects of the
teamsters' strike have reached the
Lake Transportation companies and
| seriously crippled the large freight
| business which is usually done at this
time OF the year. Owing to the in
| ability to have goods transferred from
the railroad dep0ts to the docks ali
the principal steamship lines either
have abandoned or curtailed their ser
vice.
A. NJ. Compton, chairman of the
ways and means committee of the Chi
cago Commercial association, has is
sued a special notice to the members
with reference to orders and ship
ments. The notice reads:
THE aggregated reports are being
circulated through the country to the

terests of Chicago may not be injured
by this exaggerated report, the Nom
bers Of this association are request
ed to notify their travelling statesmen

With employers preparing to press
a demand for troops, violence In the
teamsters' strike showed no signs Of
cessation today. The very first out
break resulted in a fatality The riot
took place near the barns of the en-
ployers teaming company in Eigh-
teenth street near State Charles Rie-

ing company, but were driven back by
private detectives welding "billies"
and pieces of gas pipe.
Police reinforced the detectives and
pacitied the crowd by demanding that
the negro be surrendered. The police
entered the stables but were unable to
find Riebling's assailant. Riebling
unconscious, was taken to the Peo-
ples hospital.
The police today announced that they
were prepared to escort 800 wagons
for the wholesale and retail strike
bound stores and $50 express wagons
This, it was stated, would be the great
est number of wagons moved one day
since the beginning Of the strike.
The Chicago Team Owners associa-
ton consisting O flarge teaming firms
Teaming association, made a new
move today by attempting deliveries
to boycotted houses. While attempt
ing to deliver to these houses, the
Team Owners association was specific
IN announcing that 1t would not be
drawn into the strike, and would con-
tinue the discharge of drivers who
refused to make such deliveries. We
will continue to make every effort pos
sible toward peace, said Chairman
Taft, of the peace committee of the
Team Owners association, although
all our work heretofore has been in
vains"
A second disturbance at the stable
of the Employers association in Eigh-
teenth street today John Dansberry,
q nonunion negro teamster, was shot.
He had attempted to strike boy who
shouted an offensive epithet. A number
of strike sympathizers instantly made
for the negro, and began to throw
bricks and stones at him. Private
detectives rushed to Dansbury's aid
A general fight ensued during which
Dansbury received bullet in the leg
1t was necessary to take him to hos
pital.
Joseph Lang, barn boss, for large
mercantile firm, was arrested, charged
with the shooting.
Measures are being taken today to
secure the ordering out of the Chicago
brigade of state militia tomorrow.
Notwithstanding the bitter opposition
of the labor leaders to this move and
the disinclination of Mayor Dunno to
take the initiative in the matter the
Chicago employers association was de-
termined to have soldiers on the
streets at once to suppress the rioting.
What measures would be taken to get
the troops was a matter surrounded
with which secrecy by the officials Of
the association. Under the law the
governor of Illinois has the right to
order out the state militia without any
specific demand upon him if he be-
comes convinced of the need for
troops. although another section of
the law provides that method of ap-
peal to the governor for troops through
the sheriff, mayor, coroner or county
judge.
On the 18th anniversary of the Hay
market riot, eight persons were sud
denly blown to to pieces and sc were
frightfully wounded, the police today
found themselves coping with mobs.
