Peace Efforts Fail.
A determined effort on the part OF

every union driver employed by the

this frame OF mind, there seems to be
nothing which can prevent a rapid

FIFTEEN HUNDRED NOW IN CHI

EXPECTED.

RIFLES WILL BE CARRIED in
OPEN VIEW ON ALL ASSOClA-

Chicago, May 3.-COndltlohs Ill the
Transfers strike were worse yester-
day than at any preceding time. Inc
strikers were in a more ugly MOOD,
the rioting was more open and VIC
ious, and the attacks on non-union
men more frequent and daring. Inc
chief cause of the increased belllger-
ency on the part of the strikers and
their sympathizers is thought to be
that the employers association have
brought 1900 strike breakers to this
city and more are said to be on their
way and will arrive here within
twelve hours. These. men will receive
the full pay of upnion men and it is
guaranteed that their places will be
permanent Yesterday new feature
appeared in the strike and it
Will Be in Full Evidence
to-day. when wagon Of the employ
ers' association goes through the
streets. This feature is Winchester
rifle, and it will be carried on all
wagons in open view. During the last
week there has been much complaint
on the part of strike sympathizers OF
the readiness with which non-union
men. particularly the negroes. have
drawn and used rev0lvers. A number
of them have been arrested on the
charge of carrying concealed weap-
ons, and yesterday the managers of
the Employers Teaming company
called upon Chief of Police O'Neill
and asked if their men had not the
right to carry weapons providing they
! We're held in open view and not coll
| cea}e1. Chief O'Neill said there was
no law against it, and ARRANGEMENTS
were promptly made by the employers
to place
Winchester Rifles
on every one OF, their wagons. Over
1000 of these weapons were pur
chased yesterday, and during the lat
| ter part of the afternoon number Of
,, wagons went through the streets with
rifle lying across the knees of the
| driver and his assistant. The reason
for this move on the part Of the emf
ployers is that yesterday. notwith-
| standing the utmost efforts of the po-

union transfers that protection which
the employers association considered
| adequate.
When Mayor Dunno was informed
of the fact that rifles would be car
ried by non-union men he was visibIy
disturbed and declared the police will
not be permitted to authorize the car
lying of arms by any one, whether in
the employ of the Employers Team
ing association or affiliated with the
strikers.
Cannot Legally Interfere.
Chief of Police O'Neill, however, de-
clared that if the employers armed
their meE the police cannot legally in
terfere as long as the weapons are
not concealed.
There was Il report late yesterday

he declared last night was incorrect
Four men were seriously hurt dur
ing the fights yesterday but the num-
Der actually injured is greatly in ex-
