Over 100 Street Cars I'm Operation Yes
Observation-Disclosures Not Successful.
MILWAUKEE,, Wis, May 8.-Everything
was quiet in street-car circles to-day. over
one hundred cars are now in service In
appearance the backbone of the strike is
broken. The company has issued a notice
guaranteeing protection and permanent en-
psoyment to all men who accept places at
the present time The arrests last night
have served to quiet the hoodlums.
All attempts at mediation on the part of
the city merchants have so far been proved
fruitless. The strikers agree to submit the
eleven grievances to the State arbitration
commission, with the understanding that if
a settlement was reached all the old men
were to be re-employed by the company on
such basis as the arbitration committee
might decide. The company declined to en-
ter into such an agreement: first, because,
as the officers claimed, 1t had nothing what
ever to arbitrate; second, because 1t would
be impossible to re-employ all the old men
and keep faith with the new men who had
been permanently engaged where they were
competent and faithful. This will undoubt-
eddy terminate all negotiations far as
mediation and arbitration by the general
committee Of officials and citizens are con-
cerned.
