CHICAGO. April 2s.-With thirty.
one hundred teamsters on strike with
constant accessions being made to
their number, and with the expressed
determination of the Employers asso-
citation to take firm stand for the
"open shop and fight the Transfers
union to finish, Chicago stands on
the eve of one Of the greatest indus
trial upheavals in her history.
There was rioting in various parts
of the city yesterday, despite strong
guards of police and private detectives
hired by the Employers association to
protect their wagons. During the trou-
bles three persons were seriously in
jured, two of whom will probably die.
The declaration made by the EN-.
ployers' association that they would
promptly discharge any teamster who
refused to deliver goods or call for
them at Montgomery Ward & Cos,
brought out the teamsters in many OF
the large downtown mercantile houses
during the day, and the number, 1t Is
expected, will be increased largely
Strikes have been declared
against twelve leading firms, and 1921
teamsters have gone out. In addition

Rojestvensky Will Wait For
NebogatoH Before Fighting
Toxic Reports Supreme Confidence in Japan Of
Togo's Success Notwithstanding Shortage Of
Battleships. !

Toxic, April 2S.--The movements Of
the squadron commanded by Admiral
Rojestvensky and the intentions OF
the Russian commander continue to
be the subject of general interest and
speculation. The last Japanese reports
are conflicting and confusing. They
do not indicate definitely the purposes
Of Rojestvensky, but 1t is evidently the
intention of the Russian admiral to
await juncture with the division
commanded by Admiral Nebogatoff,
which increases the probability Of his
intention 10 give Admiral Togo de-
cisive batlle. II is assumed that Ro-
jestvensky will bring all the ships and
guns possible into the action, II he in
tends to fight decisively, or that he
will detach and abandon the slow,
cumbersome and useless ships II he
intends to run The gauntlet to vladi-
vostock.
1t is believed that the location and
date of the engagement will depend
entirely on Rojestvensky.
Japanese Plans Concealed.
Japanese defensive plans are con.
cealed with absolute secrecy. The
proclamations issued are viewed calm
ly by officials and the public. The
people appreciate the importance Of
retaining the sea power Of Japan
and the great consequences which
hinge on victory or defeat, but they
are confident of success, owing to the
superiority In strength and numbers
of the armored cruisers of Japan,
which, It is believed, will counterbal.
ance the Russian superiority in bat
tlesbips.

This isn't because we have any

that we retain our autonomy. And
We believe, too, that New Mexico's

the disadvantage at which Japan IL
