STRIKE IS TO GROW

Indication* That Moro Teamater* Will Be Ordered Oat at Chicago Mow Deal for Strike Rioters. Chicago, April 20.—Although influences are still at work in the hope that an amicable adjustment of the difficulty existing between the teamsters and Montgomery Ward & Co. can be reached, the indications are that the strike of the teamsters will spread to other concerns in the near future. President Shea, of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, declared that he would, order out all drivers engaged by firms who shall insist on delivering supplies to Montgomery Ward & Co. The New Employers’ Team company has begun aggressive work by delivering coal to Montgomery Ward & Co. Edward F. Daniels & Co., a private concern employing union teamsters, also made a delivery of coal to the firm. Acts of violence against policemen detailed on the strike have become so frequent that in the future persons arrested for interfering with the delivery of goods from the store will be taken before the grand jury instead of being prosecuted in the police court.
