Chicago, May 3.-Enlarged proper
tions were given the teamsters' atrIke
| Goday from both sides of the huge
struggle Contrary to expectation, the
employees were the first to take aagros-
sive action. All the teamsteIs OF
the Crerar, Clinch company, which
has coal contracts with many Office
| buildings and firms, went on strike t.
| day.
The company had ordered load OF
coal delivered to Carson, Pirie, Scot
| & Co., a large mercantile firm which
| has been invloved in the strike com
plicauons for some time past. The firsc
teamster ordered to make a delivery
to the involved firm was discharged
for refusing to deliver the coal. All
other teamsters employed Ey the Gre
rar Clinch company Immediately
struck. 1t was said the effect of til
new spread of the strike might be to
leave many of the tallest office build
iLgs without fuel to run elevators.
Other concerns affected by today's
spread OF the strike are the American
Cutlery company, the Ritchie Paper
Box company, and the Samuel cupples
WoOdenware company In each case
teamsters were ordered to deliver to
one or more of the boycotted houses
and struck when men were discharg
for refusing
Brualtity in the strike today began
with a fight and panic in a crowded
street car.
Two men who, it is said, were mis-.
taken for strike breakers were assault
ed and SO severely beaten that they
were taken to the county hospital The
affair occurred on a Twenty-sixth
street car at Twenty-sixth and Stew
art avenue. When the fight began
the passengers, panic stricken, fled
from the car. One of the men hurt
was Edward Boswell, negro medi-
cal student. His companion was AL

More than 100 subpoenas were
placed in the hands of United States
deputy marshals to be served today on
violators of the federal curt injunc-
tions issued in connection with the
strike. Men taken into custody are
to be cited to appear before Master in
Chancery Sherman Friday Counsel
for the Employers association will
use evidence obtained at the hearing
to urge wholesale indictments.
Strike Breaker Frank Curry, the
man with the Iron Nerve" was to-
day reported as definitely out of the
fighting. He did not appear at the
Employers Teaming company's barns
and it Is said in all probability Curry
will not be able to take further part
in the strike. His injuries while not
fatal, are exceedingly serious and hi
associates say that he will lose the
sight Of his left eye. Curry also has
deep cash two inches long behind
the right ear.
Nearly 800 strike breakers refused
to work today when the police callel
at the nonunionist headquarters to ac-
company them to the barns of the en-
ployers' teaming company.
The negroes declined to leave the
building, alleging they had been
brought to Chicago under false pre-
lenses.
We are not going to work as team
sters for $3.50 a day and take our
lives in our hands," several of th
negroes said. 1--WE want to go back
to ST. Louis"
Sixty others said they were willing
to go to work. Most of the negroes
who struck participated in yesterdays
rioting
The first shooting today occurred at
Franklin and Madison streets. A car
avan manned by negro drivers and
guards was attacked by big crowd.
The negroes opened fire at once Har-
ry Williams and Fred Smith, white
men, seated on a wagon at the en-
trance to an alley, narrowly escaped
After the shooting the caravan pro-
| ceeded on its stormy route. While
| driving a wagon loaded with coal from
the Edwin F. Daniels Coal company
at Franklin and Madison streets today
| Joseph Scott, a nonunion negro tenn
ster, was shot in the right shoulder.
Chief of Police O'Neill declared to-
day that he was steadily increasing his
force and tht he believed he would
be able to cope with the situation. He
said that 1900 policemen were on
| strike duty today.
