bodily by willing hands. turned around, and
started back again. No loud talking was
done, and no threats of any kind made. At
the corner of Hennepin and Washington
avenues another crowd stood. A Univer-

A Fourth avenue car came rolling along
merrly, the driver looking worn out and
bewildered. AS he reached the corner two
men unhtched the horses. while the car
was Slung around and headed back on the
same track. "Guess that will prevent any
more cars from coming upon that line for
some time" said one OF the leaders, with
grim smile. And he was right, for no
more cars put in an appearance.
EVERYTHING QUIET.
At 10 o'clock three cars were still plod-
ding along. They furnished any amount
of fun, and the drivers finally becoming
disguised went to the barn and staid there.
There was no trouble anywhere along the
tracks and the police found no trouble in
keeping passage clear for vehicles. They
did not offer to club any one, as has been
stated, but smiled in 4 pleasant way when
car was turned. Everything passed off
as pleasantly as a midsummer nights
dream, and at noon not car in the city

they smiled and appeared well pleased.
THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE.
The committee appointed at the meeting
Sunday night to wait upon Mr.. Lowry met
at g o'clock yesterday morning, and after
short consultation, called upon that gentle
man. The conference was an orderly one,
the men showing the utmost Difference and
respect The chairman of the committee
Informed Mr.. Lowry that the men would
all go back to work again If the seats were
replaced. This Mr.. Lowry would not agree
to, claiming that many complaints had
been made to him in regard to certain
drivers who sat down when they should re-
main standing. The committee urged that
all should not suffer for the fault of one or
two men, and asked that the seats be put
back and the erring men cautioned or dis
charged. Again were they met with a re-
fusal, and the conference broke up without
coming to any conclusion.
The committee then called upon Mayor
Ames and explained to him the trouble as
it really is. His honor had long talk with
the men, in which he advised them all to
remain quiet and make no demonstration.
Any violence, he said would be promptly
suppressed, and the offenders dealt with in
summary manner. Public sympathy is
on your side" said he, land l want to tell
you, boys, that you will come out all right.
Don't get excited and cause any trouble.
This trouble will be regulated in al AMIGA
bic manner" The mayor advised that the
committee circulate among the men and
caution them to use no liquor and not
gather in saloons. 81 am going to preserve
order" he said, land l shall depend on the
drivers all to help me and show the public
that these troubles can be settled in peace
able manner if gone at in the proper way"
THE CoMPANY's CONCESSIONS.
The committee were well pleased with
the interview with the mayor and expressed
its willingness to follow the plan laid out
by him. All the men said they wanted no
trouble and only wanted simple justice. Mr..
Lowry called upon the mayor soon after
the committee had departed, and submitted
the following schedule, showing between
what points the drivers on the various lines
were allowed to sit down.
Fourth Street Line-From the corner of
Twenty-ffth sire ct, going out, to the end of
theline.
Eighth Avenue and Monroe Line-From
Tenth street to Eighth avenue stables, and
on Monroe end after crossing the railroad
track, going out.
East Side and Hennepin Avenue Line-Go-
ing out from Twelfth street to Hennepin av-
enue, and going to the stable, from Sixth av-
enue southeast.
Broadway Line-Going to the stable after
crossing the railroad.
Cedar and Bloomington Avenue Line
From Seventh street to stable.
Minnehaha Line-Going to st able from
Scandal bank.
New Cedar Avenue Line-Going out, from
railroad crossing at Franklin avenue to the
stable.
Lyndale Llne-Going out, from Franklin
avenue to stable.
This schedule Mr.. Lowry said, was con-
stantly violated by all the men and he pro-
posed to have no more complaints made on
that score. ''lf the men want to come back
and drive without Seats" said he, ''they
can do SO, but l shall not put back the seats.
[ would rather keep the cars in the barn.
The mayor and Mr.. Lowry had a lengthy
conference, but no satisfactory settlement
of the trouble was arrived at. Mr.. Lowry
is just as determined as the men, and as
neither side will give in a long-drawn out
war may be expected. This is the present
status of the tie-up, and some fears are ex-
pressed that it will remain so for a long
time.
THE CoMPANY's VIEWS.
President Lowry and Secretary Good
rich have made statements of which the
substance is the following:
