was going on. Except with five or six
people who knew a settlement on the
basis in sight WAS inimical to their
every interest, tho end Of the long con-
test was hailed with manifestations OF
satisfaction by all classes OF people,
Business men whose interests have been
crippled, workingmen who at heart did
not think tho strike was founded on
good grounds, and were greatly incon'
vienced by the boycott imposed on the
street car line, were alike satisfied that
the settlement was the best possible
under the circumstances, New life will
henCeiorth BIO infused into the business
community, by reason OF the ending oil
tho strike.
Tho strikers held well attended
meeting yesterday and n list OF all who
went out on the strike was made up,
Tho president and tho secretary were
not present In tho afternoon Messrs,
Roman Dobler, president OF the trades
assembly; Chairman Milligan, OF the
arbitration committee, and three Of tho
striking car workers called on General
Manager Jolly at the latter's Office. The
list, which contained the names Of
ninety.fve men, all who went out on
the strike, was submitted to Mr.. Jolly,
with the suggestion that the committee
OF three from the electrical street car
workers union designate as many men
as the company had places to FL, The
general manager could not consent to
this, as there are number OF men
whom the company has oil along said
could not re-enter its employ. Mr.,
Jolly decided to be at the Forty.eighth
street barn at 0 o'clock thia morning,
when he will receive applications for
reinstatement from the old mon. He
said last night that there are only
twelve or fifteen places to DO filed to-
day, and that when the new power
house goes into operation only fifteen
or twenty more will be needed. This
comes as u surprise, as it has been un-
derstood about fifty OF tho ex.strlkers
would ultimately find employment on
the road.
A number OF the old men applied
personally yesterday for reinstatement,
but none OF the applications were act
cd upon, as nothing will be done until
this morning, and every man re-em-
ployed will be OF the company's choice.
There were several affecting scenes in
the company's office during the day,
when men applied for employment.
Nearly all declared they took no active
part in the strike troubles, and were at
heart against it. Several broke down
and cried, saying that unless given en-.
ployment, restitution, now staring
them in the face, will be their lot.
The carettes and cabs did not run to
Forty.third street yesterday though
one or two were on the Island run.
The patronage was very slim, however,
and they will run no more. One Of the
strikers, who had nearly completed
arrangements for purchasing one Of the
carettes, was very active in denouncing
the terms of settlement of the strike,
declaring the strikers had been duped
by the arbitration committee. His
sentiments arc shared by two or three
Of the deposed leaders OF the striking
car workers, prominent among them
being President Harry Chow, OF the car
workers union, who was deposed Sum
day from the place he held on the arbt-
tration committee and is not likely to
DO president much longer
The fact has been brought to light,
though it was not generally known be.
fore, that President Chew had NOT. worked
on o car for at least two months before
the strike, having taken employment
in other business. One OF the strikers,
when asked yesterday why this anomal-
Gus state OF affairs existed, said, "Why,
ho insisted on staying there himself"
The peculiar state OF affairs was much
commented on yesterday, and it was
stated that no had only attended two
or three OF the unions meetings since
tho strike began, although the men met
every day. Furthermore, he opposed
every proposition to seek settlement,
insisting that the men were bound to
win, and since the strike has been
settled he has been foremost in denounc-
ing those who brought it about.
One OF the union men said Yesterday
that Chew needn't care, because he can
keep on at his job OF painting, and the
probability Is that tho company would
not employ him even If it could not run
the road without him.
The patronage given tho company's
cars on the first day after the strike Was
very heavy, the larger part being work.
