Ihe street car Qr1vere were the partictPh-
tors in the latest strike. The s~uperinten-
dent ofthe railway thought to reduce the
expenses of the road and dismissed one OF
the drivers, and the rest concluded to strike
until the discharged hand was re-installed
and the wages Of the drivers was increased
Is cents per day. The demand OF the
men, coming at the time it did, caught the
company in q tight place and it yielded to
the desires of the drivers. Afterwards the
men allowed the company to discharge one
of the drivers selected by them, who has BY
past service shown himself to be one OF the
best Oh the road. Matters will no doubt be
s,rsnged differently at the next meeting OF
the Board.
