CHICAGO, April 2s-Cnder protection Of
a Federal injunction issued by Judge
Kohlsaat to-day, restraining the teamsters'
union from interfering in any way with
the business Of the Employers leaning
Company, the company will send 700 wagons
out in the streets tomorrow. Col. Duggan
Of the Department Of the Lakes has re-
ceived orders from the War Department
at Washington TO hold himself in readiness
TO protect wagons carrying coin and bullion
from the railroad depots TO the Sub-Treas-
ury. He says the wagons will move in spite
OF the strike.
The rail way express companies will file
petition for another injunction tomorrow.
The Frank T. Scott Transfer Company
to-day asked for an injunction to restrain
their drivers from striking and injuring
the business OF the company. Judge
Kohlsaat refused the injunction but sug-
gested that the petition be amended, and
a new bill will be filed tomorrow or
Monday
While these warlike preparations were
being made by the employers the labor
leaders hesitated in spreading the strike.
The drivers were called out at Hillman's
department store and at the shoe fsCtory
of Sell, Sohwab and Company, but these
concerns were the only ones directly drawn
into the fight.
Brotherhood Of Teamster, Immediately
following the issuance Of the Federal in
junction gave out an order to all union
drivers to observe the law and refrain
from committing any acts OF violence
Shea says that competent drivers cannot
be procured even with an injunction, and
that those who commit lawless acts Will
only hurt the strikers cause.
Another complication which may bring
the strike into the Federal courts arose
tonight when the wagons Of the Peabody
Coal Company we're blockaded and the
drivers stoned and beaten while delivering
coal 20 the Union Traction Company.
Bricks, stones and iron bolts were thrown
by mob of nearly 5000 persons at the
negro non-union drivers, who were finally
rescued by the police. As the Union 1rac-
ton Company Is now in the hands Of the
United States Court protection may be
demanded Of the Federal Government.
No deliveries were made by the big de-
partment stores on State street and none
will be attempted tomorrow. The En-
ployers' leaning Company, however, will
lease the wagons Of the department stores
and under the protection OF the Federal
injunction deliveries will begin on Monday
with non-union drivers.
The railway express companies sent out
their wagons yesterday with non-union
drivers under police protection, but did
not do anything like their normal business.
