MEDIATION NOT
THOUGHT OF NOW
Transfers Strike Certain to Go to a
Finish.
10 MORE NEGOTIATIONS
TROUBLE WILL EITHER SPREAD
OR COLLAPSE.

- HICAGO, June Am adjustment of
IL the teamsters' strike by mediation
seems as remote tonight as it did
two months ago. Peace negotiations
begun last week, which promised TO
bring about an amicabIe adjustment of
the difficulty, have been abandoned, for
the present at least, and the strike will
be allowed to take its natural course,
according to President Shea of the
Transfers union. A natural course
means one of two things, either a spread
of the strike or defeat for the union,
as all business firms now involved IN
the trouble absolutely refuse to cOncede
anything further in the controversy or
to bring about settlement
No More Conferences.
Peace negotiations are off for all
time" said Levy Mayer, chief counsel
for the employers tonight we abso-
lutely are finished with all conferences
with the strikers. The only thing thal
prevented a settlement of the whole
trouble last night was a pique on the
part of President Shea because he mad
been sighted in the conferences and
was angered on account of his arrest
The only way that a settlement can
be reached now is for the strikers to
acknowledge defeat
The employers blocked a settlement
last night" said President Shea today
Their objection to the men wearing
union buttons and a refusal to
agree not to discriminate against the
strikers was all that prevented the call
ing off of the strike We feel that our
position is as strong as it was month
ago, and we are not going to give III
now that we believe that we have the
struggle practically won. Those Dusl-
ness firms involved in the strike are
losing money every day and they are
getting tired of it. They will soon be
willing to come to us and sue for peace.
! Our men are perfectly satisfied with
matters as they are and we are not go
! ing to accept any proposition from the
! employers which would in any way al
| feet the standing of the Teamsters
union"
