Chicago Teamsters’ Strike

An extensive strike is now on in the city of Chicago. It is probable that all the union teamsters will be out in a few days. The Employers' Association is attempting to furnish teamsters in the place of those who have gone on strike. Firms employing teamsters are insisting that their men shall deliver goods to firms boycotted by the unions. Union men are resisting this demand of their employers, and it is probable that the strike will extend to all union teamsters in the city, if not to other industries. Already several serious clashes have occurred between union and non-union men. The Federal Court for that district has enjoined the unions from picketing firms, or interfering with those employed to take their places.
