Strike Situation In Chicago May Result
In Serious Conflict.

CHICAGO, May 1.-Conditions in the
teamsters' strike were worse today
than at any preceding time. The
strikers were in a more ugly mood,
the rioting was more open and vicious,
and the attacks on %non-union men
were more frequent and daring than
at any time since the commencement
of trouble. The cause for the in.
creased belligerency on the part of the
strikers and their friends is laid to the
fact that the Employers leaning as
ISOLATION today brought 1900 men in.
to the city to take their places, and
500 nor are said to be now on the
way and will arrive within twelve
hours. These lei will receive the full
pay of union men, and it has been
guaranteed to them that their posi-.
lions will be permanent.
Tomorrow Winchester rifles will be
carried on all wagons of the EN-.
ployers' leaning association in open
view. A number of non.union men
have been arrested on the charge OF
carrying concealed weapons, and to-
day the attorneys for the Employers
leaning association called on Chief
of Police O'Neil and asked if they
had not the right to carry weapons
provided they were held in open view
and were not concealed. Chief O'Neil
replied that there was no law against
it, and arrangements were promptly
made by the employers to place Win
chester rifles on every one of their
wagons. Over a thousand of these
weapons we're purchased today, and
during the latter part Of the afternoon
a number of wagons went through the
streets with a rifle lying across the
knees of the driver and his assistant.
When Mayor Dunno was informed
of the fact that rifles would be carried
by the non-union men, he was visibly
disturbed, and declared that the police
will not be permitted to authorize the
carrying of arms by any one, whether
in the employ of the Employers Team.

strikers.

HAVE EXCLUSIVE CONTRACT.
Private Car Lines Have understa nding
With RAILWAYS,

Washington, Oct. 23.-The existence
of exclusive contracts between rail.
roads and private car lines, by which
the latter assume the business of re-
frigerating perishable freight, was
brought out strongly in the hearing
now in progress before the Interstate
commerce commission. 1t was de.
veloped by the testimony of H. M.
Emerson, traffic manager of the At.
lantic Coast Line, that the shippers
would be compelled under the con.
tract with the Armour car lines to
use cars of this company exclusively
or the railroad would not transport
their freight. At the same time, he
said the schedules of the road would
permit the use of other private cars
and that the apparent inconsistency
is matter that the legal department
of the road would have to solve if
brought into controversy.
Officials of the Central of Georgia.
the Southern and the Seaboard Air
Line testified that the Armour car
lines have exclusive contracts with
their roads to handle all refrigerator
