 Chicago. May 27-while numerous small riots were in progress both in the down streets and in the lumber districts. the leaders of the teamsters strike and the officials of the build ing trades engaged in quarrels of their own.
 The action of the building trades last night in withdrawing from the teamsters their financial and moral support angered the teamsters and the lost no time today in calling upon the representatives of the building trades and demanding to know what they meant by going back" on the teamsters in tn thick of the fight It was made plain to the teamsters that in the opinion of the building trades they lost no time today in calling upon ton in causing members of their sun- ion to do constructive work. The principal cause of complaint was that teamsters in the thick of the fight. It and vaults had placed thepa9 fSi build inEs. This part of thf work. the building trades contend.s belongs to them. President Shea, or the team sters unionA declared that he would order out every safe mover and ma chtnery rigger in the city by Monday morning and stop worK on all build ings where the members of the build
 
 ton was paid to this threat by the ' buildings trades representatives and finally committee composed of Nil chael Casey of San Francisco. John Sheridan of Chicago. and Edward Gould. all members of the executive council of the teamsters. was appoint ed to confer with the building trades over the matter of Jurisdiction. No time was specified for the meeting. Several new efforts were made dur ing the day to settle the strike but none of them amounted to anything. The Chicago Masons and Building As sociation made another effort to in- duce the teamstera 70 arbitrate all things connected with the strike. The offer was accepted by the teamsters and acknowledged by the employers have been made-with the declaration that there was nothing in the strike that admitted of arbitration.
 The labor leaders made another ef- fort to induce Vice President Fair banks to use his good offices in set ting the strike and a number of mem bers of the Team Owners Association joined them in the move. They were | informed by the secretary of the vice president, however. that he could not undertake to interfere in the strike. Levy Mayer. attorney for the Elm ! ployers Association, and James B. Barry business agent of the express drivers union, both left Chicago for the east rOday. Neither man would state the object of his journey. It was reported that MT. Mayer was to confer with the officials of the express companies in an effort to induce them to modify their stand against the re- employment of their striking drivers but he denied this and declared that he knew that the companies would not recede from the position they had taken.
 It was said of MT. Barrys object in going to New York that he was plan ming to call out the express drivers in other cities in a sympathetic strike unless the Chicago drivers are rein stated. President Mulligan of the ex- press drivers said: T would not care to talk about the report. have heard Of such thing as an effort to call out the drivers in other cities. l understand that the drivers are well organized in Boston, but do not know what the situation is in New York" The general situation regarding the visit of MT. Barry. however, is that he has gone East not so much for the purpose of arranging sympathetic strikes as with the object of securing financial aid for his men. It is ad- mitted by the ldbor leaders that d critical stage in the strike is at hand. Charles Dold. president of the Chicago Federation of Labor, said this after noon: "Organlzed labor has reached the danger point in this strike. l do not mean that the strike must be called off. but that for the sake of the unions as well as for the sake of the business interests of Chicago. it should come to an end.
