Of the clubbing received from police

President Jones, Of the West Division
Street Railway Company and 10 the Presi-

the present dispute submit the name Of
an arbitrator, and that they select a third,
making an arbitration committee OF
three, whose decision with reference to
the strike and it's sntecedents shall be
final. A mass meeting Of strikers and
their sympathiEers, which was held this
afternoon, passed on quietly, without
any programme having been ar
ranged. At n meeting tonight the strik-
ers and their allies passed Il resolution
aaccepting the Mayors plan for settling
the differences with the company by arbi-s
tratiOn, and appointed a committee to
wait on the Mayor tomorrow to ascer-
tain whether the plan was satisfactory to-
the other side.
