The Situation Remains Practically
Unchduaed--No Cars Running.
MANAGER MAC GREGoR'S STATEMENT
He Cites the Men Discharged from
Service and the Causes.
MASS MEETING AT TURNER HALL.
Ex-Receivcr John II. Kirby and
President Williams Of the Labor
Council Discuss the situation.

The situation In the street car strike re-
mains practically unchanged. except that
the company is making active preparations
TO put on a new force OF men 10 take tic
places OF the strikers in running the ears.
There was 10 attempt made yesterday 20
run the cars, and 1t is hardly likely that
any effort Win be mad, in this direction
until the street car company has equipped
itself with force adequate TO operate the
cars systematically from the start.
Tho dissemination of the knowledge that
men were wanted to take the places Of tho
strikers caused large crowds to gather
around the street railway company's office
during the day yesterday, aud all who were
regarded as available were employed. ts
green hands can not run motor cars with
safety, trained motormen are being Sc
cured from outside points.
1t was thought yesterday that an or
rangement had been perfected by which the
cars would he run today by the old men.
A committee from the Tllbernlans and
Emmcts waited upon President w. ID. Ma
hon and the executive committee of the
street chr mons association and asked in
tho interest of their ST. Patriclt's day en-
tertainment. for which they had already
gone to considerable expense that they run
lie cars for this occasion only us an ac-
commodaton to the public.
TO this they accodod giving the commit
tee written agreement TO that effect,
which was also acqulesced nj by the street
car company, The only condition asked by
the company being that the property he
protected against any damage from the
strikers should the agreement be carried
out. Mir. Ed Browne, one Of the members
OF the Hiherniau committee offered to give
tho company an indemnity bond, II neces-
earS, In any reasonable amount but this
was declined, MIR MacGreEor stating that
he would be willing 10 accept the assur-
ance OF the men upon ,his subject,
When the agreement was submitted to a
general meeting OF the strikers It was dis
covered that they could not act without
FIRST submitting the matter to the Houston
Labor Council This was done and AT
special meeting of Labor Council held last
ell, by unanimous vote. adopted the fol
lowing notion. That VIC indorsc the street
railway employees In all OF it, acts and re
guest that they do not operate any cars
until all tho differences that exist between
tn mselves and the company are settled
satisfactorily to them.
