Stipulations of Express Companies Not to Take Back Drivers Cans of Determination.- - '- Baildifig Trades Will Be First Affected by . Decision ' to . Continue : Strife - Lumber Driven and Employers' As sociation Teamsters Will Quit. CHICAGO,. May 20.-The strike of (be teamsters instead of being declared off will. be spread i to ' greater . propor tions. 1 This was decided tonight by tbo members of the' teamsters' joint eoun 'en, which was in session until midnight. , The .council met at 8 o'clock to hear the report of the negotiations ' that were in 'progress with the employers throughout the day. : They agreed to all the stipulation of the employers with the exception of that which. : de clared that tue drivers of the express companies were not to be taken back. This was the roek upon which the peaee program split. After , several ' hours ' debate it was decided that the team sters' union wonld not let the express drivers make a lone fight, but that it must stand by them, it was decided to call off all negotiations and prepare for a further fight. . The first effeet of the spread of the strike will be in the . building trades, and trouble is looked for in this direc tion. It is expected that , the drivers of the, Lumbermen's Association, num bering about 2,000, will walk . out and that' the Team Owners' Association, which was hitherto threatening to aide with the Employers' Association, has come out for deliveries fur the boy rot ted houses. In this ease their men will ?robably be out within a few days, bey employ about 8,000 teamsters. Sheriff Barrett said, after, being ..In formed of the action of the strikers, that it simply, meant that troops would be required. Barrett said that the pres ent police force found it diffeult to maintain order and with tue increased number on strike it would be impossible to handle 'the trouble without the aid of troops. 1 Hceking to avenge the murder of Enoch Carlson, an eight-year-old boy, who. was shot and killed last Tuesday by a negro, scores of men armed with revolvers tonight are uctermloed to drive the non-union teamsters from the district. Negroes leaving the branch yards of the I'eabody Coal Company at Twenty-sixth and Canal street, were followed and assaulted, cud as a re sult two riots occurred, in which one man was probably fatally wounded and many others hurt, sod mix arrests. y.-VTrs -irv' ' ' " ''' t sttt ; .The Earlier .Story. 'U' k "dilCAQO. Mar 20. Lackinc onlv an official declaration, the great team ster strike came to an . end tonight. The executive committee of the Inter national Brotherhood of Teamsters, the only body within the organization that has the -power to declare the strike, at an end, was in session all through ihe early part of the night, and the strike will not be called off until that body has announced the light has ceased. It was a day of conferences and con sultations, there were, propositions and counter propositions, and at nightfall the situation was practically the same as in the, morning. The teamsters have accepted all the terms of the employers with the ex- . t, ---- - statement of drivers of the seven ex press companies.

To protect themselves against such a con tingent, however, the members of the Employers' Association this afternoon Insisted that if the strike was called off in all place except the express com panies,; drivers of. other t business houses could not" refuse to deliver gooas to the express companies.

President Itoosevelt has been requested to take Cognizance of the situation that has brought out the Equitable Life Assur snee Society ' trouble, and to Institute a national investigation of the Insur ance business as it is now conducted. 1 This request was made by W.

Should this course be-deemed practicable. Mr. King asks the president to appoint a national commission on the lines of the coal commission that settled the anthracite strike, to make an inquiry and report. "In case the president decides that he has no jurisdiction," said Mr. King, "it is my purpose to form a committee prior to the convening of congress to start an agitation in every state- by sending out literature to every mer chant and manufacturing corporation, to the number of 150,000. saving a mer cantile rating of $50,000 am above.

WOOL NOW "IT" INTERESTING EI VALE Y BETWEEN ; TWO IXAOINO VAULJTT PRO DUCTS IN THE MAEKET. Hops Showing Steady Gain in Price, . While WooHs Going Up at Eate of ' Two Cents a Week Pools Formed by Q rowers Meeting With Success I J With the price of hops at 26 cents and better, and a strong upward teM- dency and wool selling readily at ? aad 2J cents, with prospects of a 3- "."" a struggle on between these two of the, leading products of the state for su premacy in the market this yeaf. While wool is advancing more steadily and rapidly in price and gives t promise of reaching the 30-eent notch before the first of Jane, the progress of the hop market is more slow but firm, and if discouraging reports continue to come in regarding the poor condition of the yeards in : almost every country heard from, there is a strong probability that the growers, who still have their product on hand and in the pool, will yet receive much better than the price for which they are holding - ont 30 cents, , f U':i ' A Just now "King Wool" Is on the boards, and he is attracting widespread attention and creating no little excite ment. Last wee the market for good valley wool was quoted at 25 cents, with no selling except for a few tnn d red "fleeces, waicb passed - into.- the hands of speculators. The price took one jump and landed upon the 27ent mark the first bound. From that point it has been advancing steadily by de grees until iJ looks as thougb the 30 eent milepost would soon - heave in vjew on the mercantile horizon. . ' j JThe wool growers ot the valley have organised pools on their dips, and ia every instance where they have , dis posed of it, it Is at aa advanced mar gin over the previous sale. "No -'less - ",t4..f" j. J' than three pools have been sold during the past week.: the prieee ; of ' whicHI range from Zla to sas cents, im first of these pools was that of the Scio growers, who disposed ef 2600 fleeces, SggTej-ating 100 pounds, at 27 cents; next came the Silverton pool of 1700 fleeces, or 11,800 pounds, 'at 27V cents, and yesterday the foao- i limit pool of 1300 Hecces, or 10,103 pounds, at 28 & cents., This latter if the. highest price known to .have been paid for wool in lbs valley this year. Not to he outdone in this respect the wool growers of the1 near vicinity of Balcm, in the brief - space- of a few hours yesterday afternoon, signed - an agreement promising to hold their pro duct for 30 cents. This pool was engi neered and effected Ty Henry Yaade vort of this city, who started ont after dinner yesterday and secured the sig natures of growers representing aa ag gregate of over 2200 ffeecea to an agree ment to hold for, that figure, and " he . pite natu be will have secured about 3X0 . fleeces. acirrenUna 2U0O0 ' pounls, whiek practically - represents 1 what remains f the ,B8ol4. wool , pro- I duct of this section of the valley. Mr. I Vandevort feels certain that they will realize the price demanded on or be fore the first of June, and he is satis fied that the market will go as high as 35 cents before the supply in the growers' hands is exhausted. - There is a number of-reasons given for thesteady and strong alvance in the price of wool this season, princi pal of which is a shortage of the sup ply over the steadily increasing ' de mand. Those who are in a position to I . m ' km come to the stage where the surplus stock has. been almost ; entirely .ex hausted and the ""manufacturers find themselves, barren of stock, while the marketable supply from the spring clip will not be enough to. meet the de mand. Another thing 'which is respon sible for the ' rise in price of wool Is the shipping of hundreds of thousands of sheep out of the northwest to the eastern markets or mutton, iher 1,000,000 head of sheep Wera ' drivoa from the ranges ' of Eastern . Oregon, Idaho and Montana last week to be prepared for the stock market. , ', The mildness of the weather during the past winter has had the effect . of producing a much finer quality of wool and it is in better condition generally than usual. The spring clip for this section of the stats has not begun as yet, on account of the unsettled condi tion of the weather, but it will begia about June 1.'
