The teamsters accep ted all the terms of the employers except- that rela'lng to the reinstatement of tho drivers for the exypress cam panics.

The STRIKE NOT DECLARED OFF BUT WILL SPREAD FURTHER Teamsters Council Decides Not to Accept Employers Proposition Chicago, May 21. The strike of the teamsters, instead of bo ng declared off, will ho spread to greater propor tions, T.iis was dee ded tonight, by the teamsters joint, council which wa.$ In session until after miiinigh', - The council met at 5 o'clock to hear the report of negotiations that had been in progress with the employers throughout the day. They agree! to all the stipulations of tho Employers xcept that, which declared tiiut the ...rivers of the express conipan es ,'iould not be taken back. This was the rock upon which the luace program was wrecked, and nfier several hours debate It was decided at an early hour this morning that the teamsters union could not leave tar express drivers to make a lone fight , but must stand by them. All Negotiations Aft Off. I was decided ito call off all nego tiations, and prepare for further, light. The sense of the meeting was ex pressed In the folloylng resolut'on which was passed, and g ven out as defining the position of the inm titers: It Is due to tho public and members rf the teamsters organization that n statement be If sued rela ive to our position In refusing to accept the prop osltion subm'tted by the Employers Association, The Employe's tVeBoc'atlon offered a proposition which may have received favorable consideration from the strlk trs and their committee, provided thai it carried it no prov so that would act as a detriment to any part of our or ganization. Their proposlt'on, however, carried Willi it that tho rtrlke against the railway 'express compan'es be declared without these companies agreeing .. i.e proposition made by the em- l...r.rs or any other proposition, they b. us made the s'aiemont Ihnt thny had held a meeting and decided that no strikers would ever aitaln be re employed as workmen for the railway express company in fact. o estab lish a blacklist against alt their form er employe. Tha the teamsters or ganization or Its officials could not accept. "We believe the railway express companies are not Just fled In their refusal to reinstate any of their for- j'.ter employes and vollovo the best irlerbtg ot all would be furred had to unions agreed to this, and the express drivers will he compelled to make their own fight if the strike Is called ofT in all other places. Tho terms announced by the employ ers are: Tho teamsters shall recognize the Employers teaming company as a per unit n drivers, the "open shops" to pre vail. Strikeis are to be reinstated wherever vacancies exist, except tha' employers will not consider the ap plications of men who have been gill It y of lawless conduct during the strike. The settlement of the strike with other concerns is not to 'ntlude tho express companies. Union drivers must deliver goods to express companies , Irrespective of strike conditions." - - Working conditions to be the same as before the sirikc. These, in fact, were never an Issue n the strike. Prosecutions already started In th? federal court under injunctions and in ti'.e criminal court are to be continued. they agreed to the same proposition, or a somewhat similar one, to that wh'ch the Employers Association sug Rested. Under these Condi' ions . it is. incumbent upon tho members of the teamsters organization to cont nue the strike until such time as the express companies will agree to the same con ditions as those offered by the Employ ers Associa'ion." I Building Trades Firs to Feel It. The first effect of the spread of the strike will be in tho building trades, and trouble 's looked for in this di rection on Monday.

They employ 8,000 teamsters. Means Troops Will Be Called.

We have found 't difficult to maintain peace with tho force of police and deputies wo have had and now ihnt there Is a prospect of so much greater body of men being on strike, with all the ciinnces of rioting that' It entails,' it w'll he out of. the qucftlon for us to handle the trouble without nld from the miliary, As soon as the strike spreads I will be com pelled to. ask the governor for Hid. I have done nil tha'. I um able to do, ami the pnnpect now is that the thing will fret, away beyond the pow ers of my office.' v ; Shea Notifies Mayor.

Washington, May 20. Chairman Martin A. Knapp, of the inter:, late commerce committee, was heard by tha senate committee today. He d d not favor a radical departure from the present law, but desired to have its defects corrected and Its weak points strengthened. Discrimination against a community on account of a smaller charge for long haul than for a short er hal could be corrected under the present law, and some Increase of re straint should bo provided. Knapp referred to tho statement of tho Chicago Great Western and re marked that President Stlekney was ilways sttrni sing whether to filing a .statement or making a tariff. Knapp did not believe In the argu ment that there was danger of Indext- llity in rales or f fixed mileage rates hi case the proposed legislation was idopted, as seemed to 1)0 feared by railroad men. Something should be lone, Knapp thought, toward compel ling carriers hav ng i hort line connec tions to unite In making through rates. Knapp did nrt regard the courts as ,he best remedy for unreasonable rates, 'if you want to regulate rail- toads," said the 'commissioner "do it yourselves, and do it by legislation.
