rloved by the Union Traction company
decided not to go to work when the first
day cars atari at o'clock. The official
declaration was made at mass meeting
OF the men In Labor hall. II caused the
greatest confusion and was passed against
the strong protests of the conservative
element. In fact. the excitement vas 20
intense that numerous small riots between
the two elements were averted with the
greatest difficulty. Pandemonium reigned
at times and many of the conservatives
left In disgust.
An unsatisfactory conference with Gen
cral Manager Beeem had been held earlier
In the night and the trouble began when
this committee made their report 10 the
mass meeting. Previous TO their arrival
the turbulent scenes of the day had been
Increased In intensity. The question OF
strike or no strike" was about to be
put to the men whom Mr.. Griffith OF the
Christian League made n speech urging
them to be patient and suggested further
effort for peace.
Or. Griffith was greeted with jecrs and
fuel was added to the fame when MAN
named Klrschner, member of the cigar
makers union, made a fiery speech urging
the men to strike.
President Mahon. who has all along been
opposed to strike. tried to shut OF
Kirschner and almost Incurred personal
violence from the rQen who wanted TO
hear Kirschner. The confusion kept up
until Chairman Lutz put the question to
n vote. \ decided affirmative was tho re-

The dissatisfied employees were actively
at work all day Committees were as

be given preference over the new men
erpagod during tho strike, these latter 70
be placed at the foot of the extra" list.
Mr.. Beelem stated ahat the company was
not In n position to accede the demands
for u ten hour day and 81 wage scale. a
majority voted to reject tho proposition
and this decision resulted in tonights &C

COMMERCE. AND REVENUE.

The New York Chamber Committee Re
solves for Arbitration.
New York, January AT meetinF
of the chamber of commerce today the
committee on foreign commerce and rev
enue laws, consisting of Francis B.
Thurber, Gustave H. Sohwab, stephen w
Carey. William H. Robertson reported the
following resolution:
Resolved, That the chamber Of com
merce of the state OF New York, being
profoundly impressed with the gravity OF
the situation which threatens the peace
and happiness, now so long existing be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States appeals to tho common sense and
the common interests of the people OF
both countries to avert the calamity OF
war by a resort to arbitration or other
friendly negotiation which has SO often
been found TO be a sufficient and salts
factory mode of settling international dis
putes and to which both governments
stand committed by precedent and the
humanitarian spirit of the age.
Accompanying the resolution was an ad-
dress which cited many instances In
which controversies between the United
states and foreign nations had been set
tied by arbitration. Carl Schurz spoke In
favor OF the resolution and submitted a
proposition for the appointment OF a
hoard Of inquiry or investigation or adj
visoiy council tche composed OF men OF
International renown. which was accepted
AZ an addition to the original resolu-
ton.
Charles Stewart Smith read from the
reports OF Secretary of War Lamont and
General Miles to show that we were not
In a position to resist the operation OF a
great navy like that Of Great Britain
After several others had spoken the reso-
luton and accompanying address were
adopted with but six dissenting votes.
