The Strike Leaders Had Sent for Debs
and Mcbride.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec 21. - The strike
leaders last night sent kilograms to Eu.
gene V. Debs, president of the American
Railway union, and John Mcbride, of the
American Federation of Labor, asking
them to come to this city forthwith. A
reply from Debs was received. 1t said
"Wlll come on as soon as possible" He
is in Terra Haute, Ind. Mcbride is thought
to be in indianapolis, and the dispatch was
sent there. No answer from him had been
received up to a late hour

Clared that all efforts to bring about "A
settlement with the Traction company
having failed, the strikers would fight it
out to the end Chairman Lutz spent the
evening consulting with lawyers, and
there is a possibility of court proceedings
being taken to force the company into ar
bitration, under the act of assembly of
this state, passed in 1898. There is no
doubt that nothing less than a judicial
order will induce the company TO arbi-
trate. They have all along steadfastly re-
fused to deal with any representative of
labor organizations, and the bringing on
of Debs and Mcbride will certainly in
trench them the more firmly in their posi-
tion.

At the last meeting Mr.. Conry raised a
question as to the property ON White street
recently purchased by the Board being sub
iect to a mortgage for SIS, 900. Mr.. Edwards
stated last night that he had learned from
the Boards solicitor, Mr. r. r. Beddall, that
the mortgage only covered Mr.. c. +. Tit
mans Centre street property, but in order to
allay any possible apprehension ON the part
of the Board the solicitor secured from
Richard Harrington, of Scranton, who holds
the mortgage, document fully releasing the
lots purchased by the Board from any
mortgage he may hold against Mr.. Titman.
This was satisfactory and the Board ac-
cepted the release by motion thus setting at
rest any doubts that may have been enter
tanned in the matter

made looking to an amicable settlement
of the trouble The proposition comes
from the Union Traction company to the
strikers and is that if the men will come
back to work and peace is restored, the
management will cordially and consider.
ately receive any committee from the
ranks of their own employees, and will
hear their complaints and grievances and
remedy the same within the range of fair
ness. The proposition was given by the
mayor to Rev. Dr. Baker and Mr.. Griffith,
of the Christian League, and it was au-
thorized to be made by the Traction com
pany.
Here is the formal agreement:
eve, the undersigned, have been EN-
powered to present to the employees of the
Union Traction company the above propo-
sition. We believe it will be faithfully
and honorably carried out. And we pledge
our cooperation to this end. Moreover, it

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 21, 113O a. m.-The
strike of the Union Traction employees has
again been resumed. The cause is easily
stated The company refused to carry out
the agreement entered into late last night.
to the effect that all former employees were
to be reinstated and their organization was
MT to be interfered with. At the hour men
toned everything looked favorable for a
cessation of the conflict and the running of
cars on all the lines.
But matters assumed different shape
this morning on account of the refusal of
the Traction Company officials to reinstate
one thousand of the five thousand striking
motormen and conductors When this re-
fusal was reported to the leaders of the
strikers, an order was issued calling the men
out again.
The strike is now ON in full force, and it is
feared that rioting will be resumed. The
men are more determined than ever, and
the mobs are greatly incensed. 1t is difficult
to say what the next few hours may bring
