STREET CAR STRIKE ENDED.
Mobs So Turbulent That the Police Have
to Use Their Revolvers.

PHILADELPHIA Disc. 24-The great troll
ley strike is ended. This is final. John
Wanamaker is the man who brought
about the settlement, succeeding where all
others failed He was aided in the work
by members of the Christian League. The
basis of settlement follows:
First--While the Union Traction COM
pany will only treat with the workmen In
its employ, it will allow them member
ship in any lawful organization; second,
1t will take up all grievances and give
them full and fair consideration; third,
1t will, so far as it has vacant places, i'm
mediately put on the old men, and as fast
as vacancies arise will give preference to
the old men yet unemployed, and en-
deavor to arrange the trips Of the cars to
favor the old men as far as possible with
out violating its contracts with the new
men. The questions Of compensation and
hours are left for future determination.
Yesterday was certainly the most VOL
emit since the struggle began, and for the
first time the police shot to kill. About
10 o'clock in the morning tremendous
crowd gathered at Eighteenth and Girard
avenue, and as the cars passed, each with
several police aboard, the stones began to
fly. A dozen or more cars had been COM
pletely wrecked when the policemen
opened fire. They first fired into the air,
but as the situation became more threat
ening one of them fired his revolver into
the crowd. William II. Matthews, a
striking motorman, fell with bullet in
his head, and Samuel G. Crossley, strik-
ing conductor, was shot in the knee
Both are in a serious condition at hos
pital. James Hartnett was shot in the
arm and slightly injured. A number Of
arrests were made. Other riots Of more
or less violence occurred in almost every
section of the city. In one Of these H. +.
Graham, of 1885 Broadway, Brooklyn, who
admitted that he was an organizer for the
Knights of Labor, was arrested. He came
here to work on car but soon became
sympathizer and had been very boisterous
in egging mobs on to violence. Before
final settlement was effected counsel for
the strikers had filed an application in
court asking for the appointment of a
board of arbitration under the act of 1893
This will probably be withdrawn.

Republican state convention to elect dele

favoring the latter. 1t is conceded that
General Russell a. Alger will be elected
