LOEB WRITES SHEA
Chicago Transfers President
Gets Big Transcript.
MAY BE USED IN THE TRIAL
In bor Union Leader Planned, During
Big Strike, to Have Police Join
Ranks, and Turn City Over To Mob
RuIe-CInims He Tried to- Avoid
Trouble During Transfers Affair.

Chicago, Dec. T.-Cornelius 2. Shea to-
day received from President Roosevelt a
transcript Of the conference Of T. =.
Quinn and President DOld. Of the Chicago
Federation of Labor. and himself with
the President. when the latter was visit
ing Chicago during the strike. The labor
men delivered an address to the Presi-
dent. protesting against the rumOred pos
sibility of the participation Of Federal
troops in the strike.
The defense wants to introduce the con-
versation in evidence 70 show that Shea
was active in seeking 10 avoid trouble
The incident was made the occasion for a
rebuke to the labor leaders By President
Roosevelt for threatening language used
in the address. The transcript was ac-
companied by note from Secretary Loeb
That Cornelius p Shea expected police
men Of Chicago TO desert their duty and
strike. joining the ranks Of union team
sters who were fighting employers in the
great strike of 1905, was brought out in
Judge Balls court.
Policemen who were guarding wagons
and maintaining order in the streets. he
declared, would go on strike. With
the policemen out, the prosecution alleges.
it was planned to have the streets of the
city placed entirely at the mercy Of
Shea's "sluggers," bringing a regime OF
bloodshed and riot that could only be
suppressed by soldiers.
Franz AmberS, president Of the Chi
cago Lverymen's Association. swore on
the stand that Shea had said. after ex-
pressing a wish that all niger" strike
breakers be driven into the lake. and
I've got enough men 10 drive them in
Announcement was made to-day by
counsel for the State that all Of the wit
nesses for the prosecution will have been
heard by next Saturday. OF the following
Monday at the latest. Attorneys for the
defense said that the evidence they would
introduce would take about three weeks,
and arguments for both sides are expect
ed 20 take another week Attorneys ex-
pcct that the case viii be concluded with
in five or seven weeks from the beginning
OF the taking Of testimony.
This surprised those who have followed
the case who believed that hearing Of the
States witnesses would occupy six OF
eight weeks. It resulted from the State 5
lawyers dropping nearly 40 of their so
witnesses.
