Chicago, May C.-Sheriff Thomas E.
Barrett OF Cook count. will take &C.
tive control of the strike situation at
once. So much pressure has been
brought to bear On him and on Mayor
dunno by business men who believe
their interests to be seriously imper-
llled by the constant rioting in the
streets that the sheriff has been COM
PEELED to swear in a large force OF
deputies and take active steps to do
away with the present disorder.
Two hundred deputies were sworn
In yesterday afternoon at the office Of
Sheriff Barrett, and It's expected that
1000 will have been enrolled by this
evening. A committee of prominent
business men went to Springfield yes
terday
To Lay the Situation
before Gov. Deneen, and to declare
that in their opinion conditions in
Chicago were such that the military
is ~imperatively needed.
Both Mayor Dunno and Sheriff Bar
rett have been deluged with messages
and letters declaring that conditions
have become insufarable and a stop
to the rioting should be made at once.
Notwithstanding all this pressure
the sheriff is determined to take the
situation in hand himself, declaring
that until he has done so he will not
be justified inscalling for the militia.
The teamsters made an attempt
yesterday afternoon to call out the
employees of the Chicago Union Trac-
ton company. This corporation ope-
rates all the street car lines on the
North and West sides of the city, and
is in charge of receivers appointed by
the United States court.

teamsters, called on General Manager
Roach Of the traction company and
demanded that the company at once
cancel it's contracts with the Peabody
Coal company and receive no more
coal from it.
He said that unless the contracts

men would be called out and the other
employees would strike in sympathy.
A meeting of the receivers was held
at nee and the officers of the Pea
body Coal company were asked if
they were able to deliver coal. They
replied that they were, and Young
was then Informed that the contract
would not be cancelled.
Street Car Men Will Stick.

tional organization of street car men,
after looking over the situation, or

this agreement would not be broken.
Notwithstanding the constant fight

tacks made on n%on-union men the
large dry goods houses and wholesale
grocers last night reported that they
were steadily making progress and
increasing their shipments. The ex.

fighting went on with it's usual per-
s%istence and v%iciousness in the heart
Of the fashionable shopping district.
A number of non-unicn men were
dubbed and beaten and their wagon
guards and the police retaliated with
vigor upon the rioters. In every in
stance the crowds were dispersed at

however, in several cases of rather a
sharp character.
The number of injured was from all
accounts about tie same as that Of
the two previous days.

In a riot last night Thomas Nc
Cracker. a striking teamSter, was
