Thugs Had Followed Him
Mr. Utley, who has ben acting in the
| interests of Montgomery Ward & Co.,
since the beginning of the strike, was
attacked by three men who he thinks
have been following him for several
days, while passing a vacant lot on
Oakenwald avenue between Forty
fourth and Forty-fifth streets. The
men knocked him down and kicked
him in terrific manner about the head
t'and face. He knocked one of them
down with billy and the others ran.
Thinking he had killed his assailan.
Utley went to call an ambulance, but
when it arrived the man had either
recovered and gone away or had been
| carried off by his companions.
Although it was announced last night
that the teams Of the express compan-
les and OF the Employers association
would be handled by men armed with
rifles today nothing of the kind was at
| tempted, save in the case of the fifteen
drivers employed by the Scott Trans
! fer company. Mayor Dunno and Chief
of Police O'Neill made every effort to
prevent the carrying of rifles and Su-
perintendent Reid of the Teaming as
sociation informed them that he had
| not contemplated arming his men as
stated. The Scott men carried rifles
throughout the day and none Of them
was molested.
CoaI Famine Threatened
The need Of coal is rapidly develop
ing into one of the most important fac
tors of the teamsters strike. With the
exception of Marshall Field & company
and one or two other houses the sup
| ply Of fuel on hand in State street
averaged from two to four days. Mar
shall Field & company have coal for
| two weeks or more.
1t is admitted by the coal dealers,
| who are even more reticent than the
| department store managers, that the
crisis in the fuel situation will come
! today or tomorrow.
| The perilousness of the situation was
emphasized by John c. Fetzer, receiver
| for the Union Traction company who
said: an several of our stations, un-
less we get coal in twenty-four hours
we will have to close down. OF course
we will try every possible scheme
| first.
