MET MATCH IN SHERIFF

Chicago, June 5.-corneiius P. Shea, President of the International Broth- erhood of Teamsters' and leader in the strike which has existed in Chicago for the last two months, was arrested and taken to jail tonight. With him on the Journey from the saloon in which he was arrested to the office or the sheriff and then to the jail Was Hugh McGee. president of the Truck Drivers Union. Both men were takeh into custody on capiases issued on in- dictments charging them with con- spring, which were voted by the grand jury that adjourned last Saturday night.
 1t was the understanding at the of flee of Sheriff Barrett that President Shea, who was aware of the indictment returned against him, would appear at his office during the day and give bonds. He failed to do so and Deputy sheriffs Robert Wilson and Martin Honan were sent after him. After a short search Shea was found in the rear of a saloon at Washington and Franklin street He was at once placed under arrest and his temper commenced to rise immediately. A stormy scene ensued when Shea met Sheriff Barrett at the latter's office.
 You have had these capiases since Saturday and they have not been served upon us until now," said shea:
 'T was assured by your attorney, said Sheriff Barrett, that you and the rest fthe indicted leaders would be brought to this office today and give up. That is why you were not served. You did not come and we went ater you.
 President Shea lost his temper conn pletely at this point and denounced the sheriff and all his works In. em- phatic lanuage. He was told by the sheriff that he would be given all ne- cessary time to procure bondsmen, but that he would be taken to jail at once unless he moderated his manner Of talking.
 T would not mind going to 2ali. saia President as directed was yoSr oS ac tion In this matter"
 T want you to understand that not another word must come from you re- &Rarding Levy Mayer" retorted the sheriff, '.I am sheriff and am com ducting this office"
 President Shea finally succeeded In reaching his attorneys by telephone and one of them, Daniel Cruice, came quickly to the sheriffs office. He and President Shea commenced to argue with the sheriff about the unreason- ableness of taking MT Shea into GUS tody at such late hour and the con sequent difficulty they would have in procuring a bondsman, The sherim declared that he had done nothing but his duty and that the trouble was of their own making because they had not appeared during the day Shea again broke into violent language and the sheriff again warned him that he would be given but little time 10 pre- pare bonds if he did not cease his abusive language.
 T don't know that even if you did say that I should go to jail that would settle it," replied Shea.
 'Tll show you whether 1t would set- tie it," said the sheriff.
 Turning to Deputies Honan and Will son he commanded them to take Shea to jail immediately.
 Shea saw that he had gone too far and attempted to say something to the sheriff. but the deputies took him quickly into the hall and from there to the street where they hailed a cab and took him to the jail. President McGee followed in another cab Gnd in few minutes the men were inside the jail. Both were searched, accord ing to the usual custom. by Jailer Whitmen, and were then taken to cells and locked up.
 Released on Bail.
 After being prisoner for a little more than two hours, both Shea and McGee were released, their attorneys having procured bonds which were approved by Judge Tuthill.
 The teamsters made overtures to the employers tonight by asking for a con ference, but failed to meet the requIre- for The attorney was asked by the mem bers of the teamsters joint council if he would not meet a committee from them with a view to settling the strike Mir. Mayer replied that he would meet the committee if 1t came to him with written power to act. He would not. however. agree to meet any body of men which did not of itself possess authority to settle the strike He had. he said. reached agreements with before and that these had been later upset by the teamsters joint council. The commit tee with which he conferred must pos- sess full power and its action. if it agreed to settle the strike. must be final and binding upon the union.
 The teamsters joint council agreed to appoint such a committee. but at It's meeting tonight failed to do so. It appointed Instead committee which is to attempt to make settlement with the large stores on State Street Similar attempts of this kind have been made and the merchants have repeatedly de- clared that they will not consider any plan of settlement which does not in- clude all parties to the strike. They will sanction no settlement that does not include all of the boycotted houses.
 Albert Young. former president of the Teamsters' Union, for whom a warrant was issued charging him with criminal libel, in connection with assertions that Robert J. Thorne. secretary of Ward & Co., had offered $1O,O0O to have a strike declared against the rival houses of Sears. Roebuck & Co.,. was arrested late this afternoon. He was taken before sheriff Barrett, where he gave bond for s5.O00 for his apearance when wanted. Although he had been an object of search for two days. young declared that he had not left the -itv and had been in frequent attend ,nce upon labor meetings and confer snces
