ARE In A MOST
DESPERATE FIX
Five Team Owners Must Haul For
BOycOtted Stores
OR LOSE PATRONAGE
"UniOns Have Extended the Strike
and We will simply 60 Them
One Better and Extend 1t
Ourselves if Necessary"

Chicago. May 3.-The outcome of
the move to bring the transfers con-
nict TO n crisis was eagerly awaited
| Tuesday by employers and unionists.
The Employers association had deliv-i
cred an ultimatum to five leading team
owners that they must make deliveries
TO the department stores as they have
been loing in the past. The answer OF
the teaming contractors. who proposed
to meet and take up the matter, was
anXiously looked forward to- The team
owners quit making deliveries to the
department stores when the transfers
entered upon the strike. The team own
ers were informed that they must eth
er deliver freight to the boycotted
stores or lose their business perrna-
nently. To deliver the goods as de-
manded would cause a spread of the
strike TO 5000 more drivers. The en-
ployers seemed determined to force
the fight. one of them said: "Thel
unions have extended the strike and
we will simply go them one better and
extend Il ourselves If necessary
There's no use drifting along on the
defensive"
Among many detachments of In
coming strike breakers who arrived
Tuesday the largest single body per-
haps came on Michigan Central train
from Detroit. Mich. They numbered
seventy-five and were escorted by
heavy guards of police through the
streets.
The cordons OF union pickets sta
toned on the curbing in State street
and wabash avenue have been supple
mented greatly in numbers. with the
result that. in spite Of the vigilance of
the police. carriages and hacks are
stopped and drivers and their fares
warned against attempting to carry
purchases home from the boycottedI
stores.
Store employees burdened with bun
dies are stopped and their parcels taxi

searched by the pickets and union |
sympathizers to see IL they are at |

ers or carrying their own property to |

further.
In one instance hired carriage was
stopped ia Wabash avenue and the |
occupant woman shopper, Compelled |
to get out and walk. Another woman
with both arms full OF bundles wasl
caught by the skirts and sfoppadz
she was about to step into cab 81
State street The cab driver was
warned not TO take her as fare I'm
daunted. the shopper walked to an
other corner. where she hailed a sec
ond cab. Again she was stopped by
the union sympathizers. Finally she
boarded a street car.
Only a few hacks or cabs venture
to drive up to the entrances to any
of the State street stores. In most |
cases the drivers request their passen-
gers TO alight on the opposite side OF
the street and walk over to their des-
tination.
With one exception. none of the State
street stores attempted to make deliv-
cries in the residential districts yester-

of all sizes and descriptions.
