this, President Jones, OF tho railway,
sent written reply; and as result OF

went into consultation with officials OF
the company, and 1t Terminated at
noon, when MIR. Jones and the presi-

OF this committee, whom Mr.. Jones
made q proposition to the strikers to

to be in the nature of a compromiso.
The nature of the proposal is to be
disclosed at a secret session OF the
strikers tonight, and an answer Is to
be returned to the car company at 7
O'Clock this morning. In the mean

Of Roley street. The driver was badly
beaten and the conductor ran away.
No arrests we're made. This is about
