Dunne to-day again endeavor- ed to effect peace between the con- tending sides in the present labor trouble in Chicago, but at the end of the day, after several conferences with the labor leaders and representatives of the employers, the situation was un- changed. Mayor Dunne to-night, how- ever, was more hopeful of peace as the result of his efforts and the peace ‘negotiations will be continued to-mor- row. The labor leaders declared to-day that they were willing to meet the em- ployers, but the latter declined the proposed conference and Mayor Dunne was forced to meet the opposing ele- ments separately, ‘While the peace negotiations were | in progress to-day Montgomery, Ward | & Co. continued to make deliveries with non-union teamsters. The ser- | vice was interrupted, however, by the | strikers and their sympathizers, who blocked the streets, making it almost impossible for the caravans under the protection of platoons of police to pass through the streets. In several in- stances the crowds became so demon- | strative that it was necessary for the police to use their clubs and several of the disturbers were hurt in the clash with the bluecoats. During one of g¢he | attacks on the strike-breakers three of | the non-union men were seriously hurt | and it was necessary for the police to | make several arrests before the crowd | could be dispersed. Should the efforts of Mayer Dunne' to bring about an amicable settlement | of the difficulty fail, it is stated to-, | night that the employers will form a | comprehensive teaming company of their own in order to carry on their | | business should the strike spread.

The object of the stockmen in in- | viting President Diaz to visit them on a hunting ‘expedition is not so much for the sport that will be afforded him, but that he may become impressed . with the necessity of affording them relief through the good offices of the National Government. ol Lshare s v SRS RUPTURES BLOOD VESSEL i TRYING TO HIT A BALL ‘New Jersey Player Dies From Injuries | Received n Pecullar Man- ner During Game. | NEW YORK, April 13.—William | Garrison is dead at his home in Cam- den, N.
