THE STRIKE
 IS GROWING
Drivers of Coal
 Teams Go Out.
Many Buildings Will be Without Fuel-Fund of $35, ,00O Will be Raised te Carry on Strike.

Chicago, May 3.-The teamsters' strike to-day took on larger propor- tions. Contrary to expectations, the employees were the first to take az gressive action. All the teamsters of the Crerar, Clinch Co, which has coal contracts with many office buildings and firms, went on strike today The company had ordered load of coal delivered to Carson, Pirie, Scott x Co, large mercantile firm which has been involved in the strike complica- tions for some time past. The first teamster ordered to make a delivery to the firm was discharged for refus- ing to deliver the coal. All other teamsters employed by the Crerar Clinch Co immediately struck.
 1t was said the effect of the new spread of the strike might be to leave man yof the tallest office buildings without fuel to run elevators. Other concerns affected by tO-days action are the American Cutlery Co, the Ritchie Paper Box Co, and the Sam uel Cupples Woodenware Co. In each case teamsters were ordered to deliver to one or more of the .boycotted houses and struck when men were discharged for refusing.
 Chicago, May 3.-Representatives of the striking teamsters have voted for a measure which promises more strength to the striking drivers. At meeting of the joint council fund of $35,OOO was pledged by the treasurers of the different affiliated unions, and an assessment voted upon which, if lived up to, will mean an income to the strikers of $30,O0O week.
 The weekly assessment is to be fur nished by the individual drivers throughout the city who at present are employed. Each man is to be as- sessed $1 week. and the number of, men still employed is in the neighbor- hood of 3O,00O.
 No sympathetic strike will be called by the coal teamsters' union except in support of sister" organization of teamsters, after the present con tracts have expired.

pointment Of Judge.

ate a recommendation from the Secretary
OF State for the establishment of a district

Korea, together with bills intended to carry

ter of Secretary Hay says the present con-

questions which come before them. The

The interests of Justice require and the
rights of American citizens in those coun-
tries demand that the legal controversies
arising there affecting their interests should
be adJudicated in properly constituted
courts, presided over by compe tent and duly
qualified judges"
The subject was brought to the attention
OF the state Department by Third Assistant
Secretary Peircc, who recently completed
a tour of inspection of the United States
consulates in the orient. The bills trans
mitted by the Secretary provide for the es-
adjustment of court which Shall have
original jurisdiction in alt judicial proceed
ings whereof jurisdiction may, now be ex-
ercised by United States consuls and min
listers by virtue of treaties between the
United States and China and the United
States and Korea -
The court is to hold sessions at Shanghai
Canton, Tientsin and Seoul and at other
places that may be designated from time 10
time. The judge and th6 other officers of
the court are to be appointed by the Pres
ident, the judge to receive a salary of
5000 the district attorney 5000 and the
marshal and the clerk S3,000o,each. The
judge is to hold office for fifteen years.
