ST. LOUIS, NO., April 2a.-Tbe
street railway strike OF conductors
and drivers this morning greatly
crippled travel. One line gave In
to the strikers, bat the others,
owned mainly by ex.Congressman
Eeastus Wells, held out. A car on
the Market street road having an
old conductor and new driver
was mobbed at Sixth street and
Chestnut street by a gang outside
and the conductor seriously hurt
on the head, but aside from this no
disturbance occurred. The Fifth
street road, the longest one In the
clty, has but six cars running. The
Washington avenue aud Blue
lines have but ten cars between
them. It looks now as though 1t
would be impossible to get men to
replace the strikers as the public
favor the men and cheer them "a
they march. ..I
