ANOTHER CAR STRIKE.
Cincinnati Cars Run Into the Stables
Company's Offers Refused.
CINCINNATI, O., March l3.-Tbe action
of the street car conductors and drivers
last night in demanding an answer to their
proposition for 81 day of II hours BY 10
o'clock to-day, has compelled prompt &C.
ton by the companies. AS they are gov
erned by directors who require time to-
consultation it has been found impossible
to meet the demand for an answer at the
hour named. Tbs President Of the Gin
cinnati Consolidated Street Railroad Com
psny and one of the directors
went to Workmen's Hall this morning
to consul with committee of the strikers.
The consultation, which lasted over an
hour, ended without an agreement, and the
strike has begun. President Kilgour, OF
The Consolidated Company, offered the men
81. .85 a day for twelve hours work, or he
would give the conductors 81 a day and
the drivers $l.75 for twelve hours work.
Both propositions were refused by the com
mittee representing the conductors and car
drivers. as they took the ground that they
could only carry out the instructions otthe
meeting held last night, at which they were
ordered to demand 81 day Of II hours.
This action was quickly communicated
to the drivers and conductors at work, and
the cars were run into the stables, making
good the determination to clear the tracks
Of all cars by noon. The striking car men
are now holding meeting at Workmens
Hall, and will take such action as they
deem best. This strike takes from the
streets all cars except those Of the Mt. Au'
burn line, and those running to Covington
and Newport. One of the Newport lines
is involved with the strikers. The present
pay of the men varies from $3.50 to $l.S5
per day of from l3 to 10 hours.
TERMS ACCEPTED.
CINCINYATI, o March l3-The striking
employees of the Walnut Hill line, under
the management Of President George B
Kerper, held meeting at l o'clock and
voted 10 accept the proposition OF 81. 10 a
day for twelve hours. They Immediately
ran out car with four horses, filed it, and
bearing flags drove rapidly over the
route to make known the situation. Other
cars will follow Immediately. The consol-
idsted company employees are still in se-
cret session, but it is thought they will now
accept these terms.
STRIKE ENDED.
CINCINNATI, March l3-The street rail.
road strike is ended. The Walnut Hills
lines accepted Sl.S5 day of twelve hours
and sent out their cars about two clock.
The employees Of the Consolidated Company
had less harmonious meeting. They
began their session at o'clock
and were about equally divided between
two propositions made by President Kill
gcur .85 all around or S2 for conductors
and $l.75 for drivers 1t required consid'
erable time to come to decision, bat they
settled upon the last proposition, and at G
o'clock the cars we're ordered out and the
men resumed work.
RAILROAD TELEGRAPH ERs.
NEw YORK, March l3-John B. Talta-
vail, editor Of The Electric Age, the official
organ OF the Telegraphers' Brotherhood,
says: II hardly think that the strike on
the Western railroads will extend to the
entire Gould system. If it does, however,
and the railroad men want the telegraph
ers to 60 out with them, they'll 60. The
telegrsphers are not now organized under
the Knights of Labor, but we have q
stronger and more powerful organization
than we had at the time OF the strike in
1888, and if we can help the railroad men
by calling out the railroad telegraphers we
will do it. Many Of our members in the
strike territory are going into the knights
of Labor again"
