Mismanagement Of the affairs of

CARS RUNNING ON THREE LINES

Anticipationf Of Trouble which Did Not
Come--Yerlses says n the Men win
Take Out their Cars He VIII Guarantee
Not to Cut Wages
CHICAGO. Oct. 18.--Not head was cracked
snor 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 childreR caused momentary
stoppage Of the cars on Garfield avenue,
piling stones on the track, but the young
sters were quickly chAsel away by the police,
and beyond an occasional yell OF ''scabn from
the sidewalk, the cars proceeded in peace
Passengers. however, were almost as scarce
ns the day before, and for the most part the
police rode up and dcwn the line IN solitary
state.
In response to a call made upon both sides
by the Citizens associsti@n there was confer
ence held at the mayors Office last evening
between committees OF the strikers and Presi-
dent Yerles. Mayor Roche also was present
II was announced ct the conclusion Of the
conference that the strikers had agreed 20
withdraw their demand for the discharge Of
the imported men. On behalf Of the com
pany Mr.. 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 60 back to
work, and all Of the msn ON both sides TO be
taken back as before the strike. At o'clock
to-day, if all the men were at work. he would
meet committee of north side carmen and
make them a fair proposition.
At midnight the meeting Of the west side
employees decided 20 accept President Yerkes'
proposition, and return TO work with the
understanding that they will again strike If
satisfactory terms are not made between the
company and north si1s men. The latter re-
fused to resume work until they hear the
