The st. Louis street.Car str;ta

ST. Louis, Oct 15.-There is little to be
said about the streetcar strike tonight
All the road are running, nearly, IL not
full complement of cars, without mo-
lestation. The railway managers regard the
strike as entirely over, and seem to have no fear
for the future. On the other hand. the strikers
claim that they will fight that the new men
handle the cars and stock badly, and that the
railway managers will yet yield to some sort of
compromise, and recall them to work. The reso-
lutions passed by the public meeting last night
demand that the municipal assembly pass an or
dinance appoint street-car Inspector, who shall
have the power to regulate the number of cars
that shall be on certain lines, and various
other duties, calculated to obviate future trouble
