FUR- NISH PROTECTION. Chicago, May 25.—The strike is gen- al in the lumber district, the team- sters of all except two firms having quit work because their employers in- sisted upon deliveries to boycotted houses. The planing mills ran short of lumber and some of them closed up. The sash and door mills will be the next to be affected. Owing to the in- terference with building operations quite a number of carpenters were dis- charged. It looks as if building opera- tions will be seriously interfered with. Chief of Police O'Neill. according to his own statement, is about at the limit with police protection. All the men available, including the extras, are now on strike duty. President Shea of the Teamsters’ union expects to go to jail owing to his refusal to amswer the questions before the master in chancery having in hand the injunction proceedings. The executive board of the interna: tional union has appointed a man to take Shea’s place in the event of his committal to jail, The managers of the railway ex- ill adhere to the de- tion to take back no striking rs and the lumber firms an- that their discharged men nounced will not be taken back.
