Defeated Strikers Making the Best of a
Bad situation.
CHICAGO, Oct. 19-With the exception OF
an occasional personal encounter between
the new and old men of the North Chicago
Street Railroad company quiet now prevails
and it is not thought that there viii be any
further strike. The old employees are begin
ming TO accept the situation with the best
possible grace, though number of them
have turned in their badges and left the SER
vices Of the company, feeling there is no
chance for them to make living wages. The
new men are said to be giving satisfaction
Their cars are still being run with policemen
in charge TO see that no attacks are made on
them, while the men are boarded at the vari-
Gus car barns from which they run, 50 as to
prevent them being molested by the former
strikers in going to and from their work
There has been great pressure brought to
bear upon the management to have these
men turned off and all old men reinstated,
but the company has refused to accede to
such request. Ii is said that much feeling is
expressed by the old men against the leaders
and labor agitators, who, they claim, got
them into the trouble and it is stated that
many Of them have withdrawn from the
Knights of Labor.
