DUNNE IS DISCOURAGED
About to Give Up Efforts to
Bring Settlement
Chicago, April 17.-After a conference held in his office late today with representatives of the teamsters, Mayor Dunne announced that he had practically given up hope of settling the Montgomery Ward strike. "I will hold conferences tomorrow with representatives from both sides," said the Mayor. "But I have no idea that anything will result from the meetings."
There were numerous disturbances in the streets during the day and others around freight houses. Several non-union men on their way home were followed by strike sympathizers and badly beaten. One of them, Henry Auten, was beaten so badly with brass knuckles that he may die.
