TEAMSTERS TO RESUME STRIKE THIS MORNING

Employers Refuse to Make Anv Concessions to Men at Conference. 1'our hundred members of the Teamsters union will end their 4 8hour armistice with the coal dealers and other employers today, and will resume their strike for a stipulated scale of waives.

The employers and representatives of the union men in the council c hambers nt the city ball last niht upon an arrangement reached at the time the members of the union entered into a 4S-hour armistice when it was presented to them that many families in the city were suffering for the want of coal. Kinploycrs Mevt. The employers held a protracted meeting before the representative of the union were called in. During the discussion of the proposals to re offered the union, it appeared to be the general desire to ignore the demands made by the men for 70 cents an hour, a nine-hour day7' and stipulated wording conditions. The proposals offered by the employers are contained in four paragraphs and are the same as those contained in the formal statement issued by the Huilders and Traders' exchange, and are the same a those offered to the Internationa! Hodcarriers and Common Laborers' union by the contractors. Tti Proposal. Th" first paragraph of the proposals declares that it is not the intention of the employers to reduce the wages of the working people. The second paragraph reads: "To employ laborers without repard to the fact that do or do not belong to the labor organization." The third paragraph reads: "To base the pay of the. employes , on the ir individual skill and ability." I The fourth paragraph reads; "To maintain reasonable working hours, and the best working conditions possible. The employes have the right to submit greivances to the employers individually or through committees selected by the-mselvf s." OnrnnlerV Proimsal. J. 1,. Devering. inte-rnational organizer for the Teamsters" union, when presented "with the employers' proposals, charged the employers with breaking faith with the men. He told them that at the meeting in the mayor's office Wednesday at the time the men agreed to the 4S-hour armistice that the coal dealers at. that meeting had practically agreed to the working conditions and the hours, and that n final settlement would be reached a: the me-eding last night. He declared thai the men would not accept the proposals of the employers. He declared that what was submitted by the employers did not even constitute a basis for discussion. When the employers' proposals were submitted to the members of the union ;it labor headquarters, they voted to reject them. Iabor-rs in Session. Following; a conference held throughout Friday between oiheials of the' Hodcarrier:-" and Common Laborers" union and contractors, wliihc was attended by Fred I Fiek of I Ilk hart, representative of the department of commerce and labor, another conference with union otlii'als and men at labor headquarters was still in progress at an early hour Saturday morning with little hope of a settlement of the labor dispute. The latter union unlik the Teamsters' union is holding out for a closed shop and a minimum wage scale of T.'- cents an hour and stipulated working conditions. Including fixed working day of en-ht hours ard one-half. The morning and afternoon session of the conference between union men and contractors was supposed to be secret.
