ably go on strike. This decision
was arrived at today as the result OF Il

and the committee of men. -Oint
three weeks since the trouble which
arose between the men and their EN-
pIOyerS was settled, the demands OF
the inen being for the most part con-
coded.
Messrs. Scullion and Sherman claim
they misunderstood the terms of the
agreement and as Il consequence OF
which Il number Of the men were dis.
missed, they claiming that eleven
hours constituted working day.
The men agreed to yield this point in
case the discharged men Nele rein
stated, but the company would not
agree. Chief Arthur was seen after
the meeting and said that ii Messrs.
SculiOn aud Sherman did not alter
opinion, a strike undoubtedly would
follow in which case the members Of
the brotherhood ON all lines would
refuse to deliver cars or receive them
from the Virgins Ferry company.
Messrs Sergent and Arthur will re-
main in the city a day or two to watch
the outcome Of the dispute.
