Weaver Coal company today. The men refused to deliver fuel to the American Express company and were discharged. Their places were (Hied by men from the em ployers’ teaming company. This is the first strike of coal teamsters in three weeks. Fear of incendiarism has caused police to re-enforce th* lumber yards of the Hines and other large concerns, patrol has been organ ized and surveillance is being main — v."V. >v-v11 tained night and day. Discussing the rumors of an impend ' ~~ ■■ , ing referendum vote of the teamsters — on the question of ending the strike President Shea, oi the teamsters, said today: “Neither the national board nor my self has power under tie teamsters brotherhood constitution to say when this strike shall end. 1 cannot call off the strike, neither can the board We cannot call strikes. We simply are the creatures of the rank and in I of our brotherhood, and I hey alone can call off the strike, when they wish to. The constitution of the brotherhood i does not provide for a referendum vote on calling off the strike. The only way j that either the board or myself can i act officially is to secure some sort ot an offer of utthniLUt and present ii to the rank and tile.” Slugging of strike breakers contin lies. James Spencer, of Kansas Cii v who had been employed as a driver for a department store, was reported to the police today as having been at tacked by three men and left uncon scious. According to Spencer, the three men forced him to get on a Wentwoi avenue car. Spencer protested, and called to the street car conductor for assistance. The conductor, however refused to aid. At the end of the car line the three men took Spencer from the car and beat him into insensibility. Several hours afterwards he was found by a pedestrian who brought Spencer to a hospital. After the twenty-four hours’ forced truce, occasioned by the general clos ing down of business for the decoration day holiday, employers and teamsters resume the strike struggle today; with with the situation es it was on Monday, and the lltle prospect for any immediate change. Th® employers’ teaming company eclipaed Its previous record today sending out between 2,500 and 2,600 teamsters. Every driver that could b »spnrod was sent to the lumber district in order to facilitate deliveries by the lumber concerns in volved in the strike, and additional police protection was asked. A further spread of the strike among the lumber Arms was looked for today. Firms connected with the mill men’s association employing 125 drivers, are pledged to make deliveries In strike bound houses, and It was expected that several of these ooncerne would be affected today. New York Will Net Be Affected. New York. May 31.—Positive an- 1 nonneement has been made that there j i will be no sympathetic strike in New York !o help the Chicago teamsters, instead of quitting their jobs, the New York Cnion drivers, who numbef 38,- | (.00, will be assessed 5 cents, or $1,900 a day. Previously the sum of $1,000 1 a day had been given to the strikers, but the local union decided to raise the assessment and continue It as long ns the strike lasted. Conferences have been held for sev eral days in which the question of a sympathetic strike has been discussed, and finally it was decided to give the fund instead. “We made up our minds,” said In ternational Organizer M. Moynahan, “that a sympathetic strike would do no good, hut we could aid the Chicago; strikers more effectively by providing them with financial assistance, which we could not give if the men in New York struck.” Hops Growers to Pool, Salem.
