men continued on strike throughout tbe
day, only atgnlng tbe peace pact late at
night.
At a conference between strike leaders,
representative of the street rail ay com
pany and member of the civic committee,
the strike leaders accepted an offer, made
by the committee, to give the men 10 per
cent lncreaae in wagea and permit the
organization of a unioq. While the union
will be permitted to exist, it will not.be
officially re"cognired by the company. All
discharged men will be reinstated.
Tbe committee promised to do all in ita
power to Induce tbe men to return to work
at once. j
fctaad Oat for Detalla. j
Th strikers started the day by refusing j
to ratify the terma agreed upcJ by their
committee and President Forget of the
railway company late last night.
President Forget met a committee of the
strikers last night at the request of Mayor
Cochran. After some dlacussion President
Forget announced that tbe company waa
ready to grant the men an advance of 10
per rent, recognize the union and reinstate
the men recently discharged unless their
dismissal had been tor Just f'ausf .
Tbe committee seemed well satisfied with
the terma and It was generally believed
that tbe end of tbe strike waa In slubt. A
meeting of tbe employes wss called at 10:30
a. m. to ratify the terns of settlement.
It soon became apparent that a majority
of the men would be satufied with nothing
short of a complete capitulation on tbe part
of tbe railway company. Speeches were
made urging the men to refuae ibe terma
unleas tbry Included certain articles of the
men's demands, which required ax. lncreaae
in the working force of the company and
provided that no ituf pensions, whateter,
were to be made permanent.
Conservative leaders among the men
ured tb strikers to accept tbe conces
sions, but they were cried down and when
a vote was taken tbe proposed baais ol
aettlement wa defeated.
