THEY we're MISLED.
Chicago Strikers We're Deceived by
Their Trusted Leaders.
THE TROUBLE NOT OVER.
The Men Did Not Understand the Agree
ment, and Another Outbreak Is Not
Improbable-A Small Riot.
One Man Injured.

CHICAGO, Oct. 17.-If the strike of the
North Side conductors and drivers is over,
the excitement attending it Is not. Another
riot at the Kroger street barn shows that the
danger of serious disturbances OF the peace
still threatens this, and in fact all other por
tions of the city, and the feeling on both
sides is quite as bitter as it was while the
strike was in progress Even the women
join in the exhibitions of discomfort, and as
the cars, many of which are manned by new
men, whirl past with officers ON the plat
forms, the wives and sisters of the strikers
stop and ieer, and cry ''scab" and rats at
the imported workmen
The conductors and drivers of the North
Side carmen section met in the hall corner of
North and Clybourn avenues. There was
hrge attendance. Mayor Boldenweek, of
Lake View, and George Schilling made
speeches, counseling moderation on the part
of the men and telling them to wait until their
means had been exhausted before resorting to
another strike The men declared both before
and during the all night meeting that had
they fully understood the features of the
compromise agreement they never would
have declared the strike off or accepted the
terms agreed upon by the conference COM
mittee. Even the members of the committee
declared there had been misunderstanding.
The report circulated before the meeting be-
gan that twenty-five of the old carmen are to
be displaced had soothing effect upon the
men generally.
Some of the speakers advocated stay of
action until after Nov. 10, when the new
system begins. BY the abolishment of the
set car system It is said at least 100 new men
must be employed, and those of the strikers
who are disposed to view the matter with
GOODNESS say that by that time all the men
now out of employment will be given new
places and thus the whole matter settled
satisfactorily. A COMMITTEES was appointed
to wait on Mr. Yerzes and get his interpre-
tation of the agreement finally.
At the Lake View council meeting Mayor
Boldenweek presented communication say
ing the North Side street railway company
had forfeited its charter in Lake View, be
cause for nSle days it had not run cars every
fifteen minutes during the day, as required
by the ordinance. The communication was
referred to the mayor and city attorney.
Mr.. Yerkes said that proper statement of
the terms of settlement had not been pub
lished. He asserted that the strikers COM
mittee did not care to put the facts before
the men when reporting after the conference.
The agreement was that after providing for
the new men there would be three-fifths of
the places still vacant, and the time of this
remainder was to be divided impartially be-
tween all the old men, with a per cent in
crease in wages. This means, he said, that
the old men who were making SIC week
would now make S10l6. 1.-The men do not
know even now,n continued Mr.. Yerkes,
''what the true agreement is They do not
know what they are doing They are led by
the leaders like a flock of Sheep
