OVERTURE FOR PEACE
MT. Yerkes Extends the Olive
 Branch to the Strikers.
CARS RUNNING O> THREE LINES

Anticipations of Troub 6 Which Did Not
 Come-Yerl<es Says if the Men Will
 Take Out Their Cars He Will Guarantee
 Not to Cut Wages.
 CHICAGO, Oct 13-NoG a head was cracked nor a car thrown from the track yesterday. Cars were run over three of the north side lines and on Madison street on the west side
 The police preparations were even more elaborate than those of Thursday, and the enthusiasm of the crowds was evidently dampened by the drizzling rain, which com menced falling in the morning and continued until after dark. Owing to these causes, and perhaps also to gradually waning in terest in the strike, the running of cars was attended with scarcely any difficulty
 Some school children caused a momentary stoppage of the cars on Garfield avenue, piling stones on the track, but the young sters were quickly chased away by the police, and beyond an occasional yell of "scab" from the sidewalk, the cars proceeded in peace. Passengers, however, were almost as scarce as the day before, and for the most part the police rode up and down the line in solitary state.
 In response to call made upon both sides by the Citizens association there was confer ence held at the mayors office last evening between committees of the strikers and Presi- dent Yerkes. Mayor Roche also was present. It was announced at tho conclusion of the conference that the strikers had agreed to withdraw their demand for the discharge of the imported men, On Lehalf of the com pany Mir. Yerkes proposed that the west side men take out their cars in the morning as usual. He would guarantee them in any way they saw fit not to cut their wages for a period of years.
 The north side men were also to go back to work, and all of the men on both sides to be taken back as before the strike. At II o'clock to-day, if all the men were at work, he would meet committee of north side carmen and make them fair proposition.
 At midnight the meeting of the west side employees decided to accept President Yerkes proposition, and return to work with the understanding that they will again strike ii satisfactory terms are not made between the company and north side men. The latter re- fused to resume work until they hear the y,.ovorition
