ANOTHER CHICAGO STRIKEr
General TIe-Up OF the street Car Lines k1.
pected In That City.

CHICAGO, Sept. ga strike on the Chicago
City Railway now seems probable. Tomorrow
night q mass meeting will be held at sixty third
and Halstcd s~treets, and from present indica-
lions there will be q tieup on all lines Oh the
road ordered for the following morning.
The strike will be ordered. 1t lie believed. after
considering the report OF the Executive Board
OF the new Chicago Railway Union. which con.
ferred with General Manager Bowen. This
committee called on Mr.. Bowen and requested
the reinstatement of discharged men. The
General Managers reply WAS to tho effect that
he would not rcinstate :hc men," and that le
would not have an employee working for the
company who was q member OF "a street railway
labor 0rEaniZation.'
President Mahon OF the National Street Car
Employees Association declined 10 say to-day
whether such decision on the part OF thu rail
road company had been made known 10 him.
and his refusal to discuss the matter is consid.
cred oy many as an admission that tho men had
received IL plain answer from Mr.. Bowen.
1t Is understood generally that the men are
now determined to strike. 1t is also understood
that Mayor Harrison gave the committee to
understand that the city administration was in
sympathy with the men.
