 Bitter End. Police Chief o'NerI Preparing to Main tain order During Coming Tu- muItuou. Days--Mob violates
 Federal Injunction.

ntf WOTkln& CtOt0tb toudy anu tO any one without knowledge of the fight going on here between capital and la- Dor, an examination of the calendar was necessary to make 1t certain that it was Sunday. From daylight this morning until dark today the down. town streets were crowded with heav- ily-laden wagons and trucks. giving the city k-day appearance that was never witnessed here before on the first day of the week.
 Believing that the fight now going on for supremacy between the employ ers' association of Chicago and the union teamsters Is to be a protracted one, the business men of the city took advantage of the suspension of regular business today to procure an extra supply of material and supplies. Ev- cry available team, even one-horse ve- hicies, were brought into use during the day for the purpose of replenishing coal in the bins and to obtain other material necessary to the transaction of the business.
 Tomorrow being the first day of May, which is moving day in Chicago, the moving furniture vans in the res- idence districts added to the weekday appearance of the city. Fearing that the furniture drivers might become in- volved in the dificulty, the majority
 
 would have sought their new homes to- morrow, decided to take no chances and make the change today.
 Efforts Towards Adjustment.
 While all these preparations were going on for an emergency, eports were being made fin Mayor Dunne's office at the City Hall to bring about Q peace able adjustment Of the teamsters' strike. Early In the afternoon com mittee representing the Employers As- sociation met a peace committee con- sisting of Bishop c. F. Anderson, of the Episcopal Church; Jenkin Lloyd Jones of All Souls Church: pr. Emil O. zipeohs iof siaah Trsaple; Miss Jaf,s Addams of Hull House and Dr. Cornelia Debey of Neighborhood House.
 At the end of this conference com mittee representing the unions met the citizens committee and went over the entire strike situation in an effort to devise some means to bring about a peaceabIe ending of the controversy
 The Chicago Federation of Labor was also busy considering the strike situ- ation, but no action was taken to spread the strike to the affiliated unions. Re- lievIng that the teamsters are justi- fled in the fight they are making. the Federation passed the following reso- lution:
 "Whereas. the Employers AssocIa- ton and its allies of this city, have de- ciared their deliberate intention to crush out of existence all labor organi- cations; and.
 'whereas. in pursuance of this poli- cy said Employers Association and It's allies are resorting to every scheme Of misrepresentation for the purpose Of misleading the public. and.
 s'Whereas, the said association has determined at least to refuse all over lures for arbitration into the facts causing the present industrial. condi- tions; therefore be 1t,
 aResolved, that we request President Roosevelt, Governor Dineen and Mayor Dunne to investigate the existing con- ditions in Chicago before complying with any request made for the use of militia in the city during the present difflculty; and be 1t further,
 "Resolved, that the President of this organization be instructed to appoint committee to lay the facts before Pres ident Roosevelt, Governor Dineen ana Mayor Dunne and take such other steps as may be necessary to give the enect to these resolutions"
 An Utter Failure.
 The conference in Mayor Dunne's off, flee lasted six hours and the peace com rnittee appointed by the Mayor yester- day failed utterly in its efforts to bring about n settlement of the strike. The ,nIan for an armistice of forty-eight hours was rejected by both sides early Tn the conference as was also an offer later made by the representative of the labor men, who asked that committee of five citizens be appointed to arbitrate the matter.

 '~rhe members of this committed, act ,no ,3non request of Mayor Dunne, re- gret to inform the public that after having heard representatives of both parties to the controversy today, no plan was found acceptable to bring about an adjustment of the difficulty.
 'The representatives of the employ CTS refused to accept any commission or means of arbitration, which was suggested, while the laboring men de- elared their readiness to acquiesce in inc plan of submitting the controversy to persons commanding the respect and confidence of the community.
 The Police Department today took advantage of the lull In the strike to make plans for the disposition of the police force for resisting any iawiess- ness which may develop m tne oass " 10 come Announcement was made to- night by Chief o'Neill that the police are to take a tighter grip on the slt- nation than ever this week.
 eve will play no favorites," said Chief o'Neill, '.and we will have peace and order in Chicago if the entire force has to be put on strike duty"
 Extrn Policemen.
 Nine hundred extra policemen Will be put on duty in the downtown dis trict tomorrw morning. The streets were free from rioting today, as no ef- fort was made to make deliveries to the firms involved. The employers spent today in making preparations for the coming week and 1t was stated to- night that hundreds of men had been secured since Saturday night who will be put on wagons tomorrow to take the places of the strikers.
 The express companies had several wagons at work transferring packages from one railroad to another.
 Early today a mob of 500 men and boye. headed by number Of striking teamsters. rai5ed the main stables Of the Employers, Teaming Company and stampeded the animals. This was Tn vgoIatfon If the Federal injunction is-
