The commissioners anticipate little dlf-

determined to secure as an executive officer

International repute, possessing linguistic
attachments OF high order, who will stand
between the commission and exterior in
fuence of all kinds and enable the five men
chosen by the President to devote their
energies exclusively to the judicial consider
alton of the boundary contention.

Philadelphia, Jan. 9.-It now seems prob

and conductors of the Union Traction Com
pany will take place Saturday morning.
The differences between the company and
the men are apparently irreconcilable and
the men are very bitter towards the com
pany. If another strike takes place il will
have the sanction of the Amalgamated As
sociation OF the Street Railway Employees,
and it promises to be as serious as the first
strike on December IT.
1t was claimed today at the association
headquarters that If another strike is or
dered al the mt embers of the association and
a number of the new men will go out.
Tonight after the majority of the men
have finished work meetings will be held

which the question of striking viii be prac-

The Traction Company officials expect
another strike and are making preparations
