The strikers received the news Of
the settlement yesterday with different
degrees of satisfaction, but on the
whole all seemed relieved that the
crisis had passed and that they will
again re-enter the employment of the
company. Last night after sober sec
ond thought had taken the place of
first impressions a representative street
car worker said: Il am glad the trou-
BILE is owe for it has been eleven weeks
of distressing suspension upon our
part. We felt we were right in our
first demands, but now that our exec
utive board has seen fit to modify
them we have no complaints to make
whatever and endorse the action fully
and freely. The main features of the
rights and wages for which we have
been contending have been secured for
us and we are now willing and anxious
to go to work"
Last evening the employees were re-
ceiving the fluctuations of friends and
representatives of labor in particular
and the. feeling in almost every in
stance appeared to be that the strikers
Jared well in the final settlement.
While all resentment against the
company seems to have passed away
with the signing Of the agreement, the
friction among the laboring elements
on either side of the river which has
been in evidence for the past vi
weeks has left sore spots which will
require some time to heal.
A member of Local No. 1913 remarked
that, IF the men over the river had
not gone to work last Monday / am
confident we would have Jared better
in the end, although the sediment
might not have been precipitated so
soon"
