Coal Teanutan.
Chicago, Jan. 30. — Cowl towntators
renew«! their war on big down town
buildings today. Th« Coal Tiwmster’a
Union decided that its members should
'•art no cowl to buildings where gas is
used during the sumruer months.
At
8 o'clock 100 drivers were ordered to
»top by officials of the tiniun, and
promptly obeyed the order. President
Albert Young, of the Coal Teamsters’
Union, Maid:
Hehavn already Mtop|>e«j hauling
coal to the Old Colony building, the
Monadnock, the Palmer houxe and the
Auditorium, and before night not a
union teamster will be hauling coal to
a building that ones gas for fuel during
the summer.
During the last cold
**nap our men were work«! to ileath.
Buildings that had formerly rn-ed fuel
gas found out that coal wa» necessary
and our men had to work day and
■ night, and at that time were unable to
! meet the demand. Many of the regular
coal burner» were coni[*elled to wait
for coal, and suffered greatly on ac
count of our inability to supply the de
mand.’
Milton Booth, secretary of the Coal
Teamster»’ Union, said:
“We are not in the fight alone, but
have the support of the coal men. We
would have conduct«! the campaign
alone had it been necessary, but with
the aid of our employers we are in a
much better condition to conduct the
fight and it will be a lively one.”
After the teamsters' boycott against
(he sky scrapers had been in effect for
four hours, firemen, engineers and
elevator conductors threatened to co
operate with the teameters. Thia af
ternoon a meeting of the prominent
coal dealers and property owners wa»
held, and a truce was declared until
Friday. In the meantime union men
hope to influence the consumers to burn
