S VOLUME 3. NUMBER 13. MORE TEAMSTERS 0UT EMPLOYES TAKE FURTHER VIG- OROUS ACTION AGAINST EM- PLOYERS’ ASSOCIATION. LARGE NUMBER OF NONUNIONISTS QUIT MANY STRIKE BREAKERS WEARY OF STRENUOUS LIFE THEY HAVE BEEN LEADING. Chicago, May 4.—Enlarged propor- tions were given the teamsters’ strike dnving the day from both sides of the huge struggle. Contrary to expecta- tlon the employes were the first to take aggressive action. All the team- sters of the Creeardlinch company, which has coal contracts with many office buildings and firms, went on strike. The company had ordered a load of coal delivered to Carson, Pirie, Scoit & Co, a large mercantile firm which has been involved in the strike complications for some time past. The five teamsters ordered to make the delivery to the involved firm were dis- charged tor refusing to deliver the coul. All other employes of the Creear- Clinch company struck immediately. It was sald the effect of the new spread ol the strike might be to leave many of the tallest office buildings without fuel to run elevators. Brutality in the strike began with a fight and panic in a crowded strect car. Two colored men, who, it is said, were mistaken for strike breakers, were astaulted and so severely beaten that they were taken to the county hospital. The men who committed the assault escaped before the police ar- rived. Noted Strike Breaker Hurt. Strike Breaker Frank Curr the man with the “iron nerve,” is re- ported as definitely out of the fighting. He did not appear at the Employer Teaming company’s barns and it was said tnat in all probability Curry will not be able to take further part in the strike. His injuries, le not fatal, are exceedingly serious and associates say that he will lose the sight of his left eye. ‘I'he blow which caused the Injury came from a cobblestone. Nearly 300 negro strike breakers re- fused to work when police called at the nonunionists' headquarters to ac- company them to the barns of the Bm- ployers’ Tcaming company. The ne groes declined to leave the building, alleging they had been brought to Chi cago under false pretens “We are not going to work sters for $2.50 a dg in our hands, said. as tean: ¢ and take onr lives ral of the negroes “We want to go back to St colored men, imported from Xenia, 0., as strike breakers, quit work during the day. The men are students and were informed that they could get big salaries by working it Chicago. When told they must pro- tect thewmnselves from violence they quit work. Nonunion Men Walk Out. “Ah! camp,” said George E. leader of Flint, Mich,, strike breakers on a s who is a locomative engincer, wi brought from Michigan as one of 125 strike breakers, and, being a union sympathizer, he worked up the insur- rectionary feeling which resulted in a walkout. Fierce rioting attended a caravan of coal wagons sent out by the Employ- ers’ Teaming company from a stable in Armour avenue. The troubl started In Franklin street, near Harri son. Walter Ceultz, a strik mpa- thizer, hooted the nonunion drivers and was promptly knocked down ana badly beaten by two colored guards, but the negroes were in turn obliged to fight their way for a mile through crowds of white strikers and sympa- thizers. Volleys of stones were thrown and many of the colored men riding in the wagons were injured. More determined efforts to secure the presence of troops in Chicago, either tederal or state, were made dur- ing the day by the employers. Sey- eral conferences were held between representatives of the Employers’ association and the Employers’ Team- ing company with the view to arrang- ing some action toward the calling out ot troops.

Chicago, May 4.—Has $1,000,000 been offered to found a co-operative cartage company is a question which was discussed by some of the labor union ofticials during the day. The story is to the effect that four Chicago men of large means have been in con- sultation with union officials and have offered to establish a co-operative cart- age company, the stock of which would be offered to union teamsters. This plan, it is held, would minimize the probability of strikes and protect the yeneral industry and commercial life of Chicago. Asks for State Troops. Chicago, May 4.—Secretary F. W.
