Chicago, June 2. The spread of the teamsters' strike to include 1JW00 drivers of local express and small de livery wagons, was a possibility today. An ultimatum had already been deliv ered by the teamsters, and the employ ers called a special meeting this after noon to return an answer. Sentiment was strongly in favor of a fight. The trouble with the delivery drivers started when a wagon belonging to the Page Bros.' Express company, hauled a load of tobacco to a strike affected firm. President Shea immediately sent a com mittee to wait upon the express con cern with a demand that deliveries to strike affected firms cease. The Page Bros.' company is a uiera ber of the Furniture Moxers and Ex Dressmen's association, comorisinc 200 employers, and nearly 1,000 teams in the city. The union committee threatened to call a strike against the entire asso ciation. The source of the necessary money with which to conduct the strike ia giving the teamsters, grave concern. President Shea has issued an appeal to all the Chicago locals to meet at once and take up the matter of funds. Three hundred former employes of the American Express company attacked a wagon of the company, driven by John E. James, last night. James was struck on the head with a brick and probably fatally injured. Xo arrests were made. THE GROCER. Tenth and Commercial Streets. Branch at TJniontown.
