The street car employees union held
large and enthusiastic meeting this
morning at c. l.. L. Hall. Atll clock

The major portion OF them were

For time the men stood about the

but earnest tones. Ii anyone ap-
preached VINO seemed at ali suspicious
all became quiet or they changed the
subject of tine discourse.
1t was nearly | o'clock when the

that time out 1t was strictly a star
chamber session. A sentine. was placed
on the stairway to intercept any curl
Gus personases, and only men known
TO bc true 10 the cause, were allowed 10
pass. From tue sounds emitted
through the closed doors, however, Il
could be easily ascertalned that

vailed. Tney all seemed To be very
unanimous IN their ayes AMI nays
when L vote was taken and from the
number of ayes and nays that were
overheard an enormity ot business was
done. The meeting continued until

At the present time. He admitted
however, tnat he did not think the
men would secure shorter hours and
more pay without a cooperation of the

older employees OF the old company
VINO had so tar refused TO come in. lie
was OF the opinion that ii demand
was made, it would eventually end in
the company paying the men by the

Before the meeting another said that
! there were no leaders IN the union, but
that the men all acted UNANIMOUSLY
without even head. He admitted
afterWard that if the company knew oil
