CNCINNATl, o., March l3.-The 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 tor
consultation it has been found impossible
TO meet the demand for an answer at the
hour named. The President Of the Gin
eiunati Consolidated Street Railroad Com
pany 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 IS a day for twelve hours work, o. he
would give the conductors - 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 ofthe
meeting held last night, at which they were
ordered to demand 81 day Of IL hours.
This action was quickly communicated
10 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 Workmen s
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 llues

New YORK. March Il John B Talta
vail, editor Of The Electric Age, the oficis
organ Of the Telegraphers' Brotherhood
says: II hardly think that the strike Of
the Western railroads will extend to tn
entire Gould system. Il it does, however
and the railroad men want the telegraph
era to 20 out with them. they'll 60. Tn
telerrsphers are not now organized unde

stronger and more powerful orgGnizstio
than we had at the time Of the strike i

By calling out the railroad telegraphers "
