Galveston, Texas. February 1S.-The
strike of the street car employees came to a
sudden termination early this morning rs
q result of an understanding between the
president of the street railway company,
Mr. Runge and MIR. Thomas Paine and Mr..
a. s. Sturgeon, representing the employees,
which was arrived ut this morning. Under
the conditions of this agreement, the rate
OF wages for motormen and conductors who
have been employed one year or more Will
be 10 cents an hour and Tor those who have
been employed less than one year IA cents.
and extra men are included III the II ceat
rate. Preference is to be given union men
as against non union men in employment
and no man S to be discharged or punished
for participation in the strike. The agree
ment is for twelve months and Is regarded
as a distinct victory Tor the employees Of
their demands having been complied with.
But they are not inclined to be boastful
about 1t. They seem To regret as much
as anyone else the necessity which impelled
them to strike at such time. They say
the loss sustained by the company in hav-
ing its cars tied up all day yesterday and
last night amounts to more than the pro-
posed cut OF cent an hour would amount
to in year.
