Another day has passed, and the ex-
pected settlement of the strike of EN-
ployes of the Wheeling and Elm Grove
railway has not been effected. The
strikers held their daily meeting at
o'clock in the afternoon at Trades AS
semDly hall, but transacted no business.
During the day the company placed its
old steam cars on the road. and this
gave rise to rumors of the most SEN
sational order.
One rumor lad it that the overhead
trolley wire had been cut between the
city and Fulton. This was a matter
which would have been deeply deplored
by the strikers, who had asked all their
sympathizers to refrain from acts of
that character. The other report was
that all the cars had been burnt out,
because of their operation by men not
accustomed to the work.
A Register reporter inquired at the
I61ffee Of the company as to the reason
for the operation OF the steam cars.
rs it true that the wire was cut??"
was asked.
mo"
'.Then what is wrong with the electric
cars?"
"They won't run"
What prevents them from running?"
'If we knew that we would have them
running. If the wire was cut we would
repair the damage"
Further inquiry elected no satisfac-
tory information, beyond the fact that
something was wrong-Something
which prevented the cars from running,
cars, or an accident at the power house.
The Arbitration Committee Of the
Trades Assembly, after conference
with the men, presented its ultimatum
to the company yesterday. The COM
mittec demanded twenty cents an hour
until April LIST, 1900, agreeing to con-
slider other propositions after that time.
The last proposition from the company
side was to refer the entire matter TO
arbitration by a committee of three dis
interested persons, one to be selected
by the company, one by the men, they
to select the third. This was rejected
by the strikers, and the matter left in
the hands Of the Arbitration Committee
Of the Trades Assembly.
The W. & e. G. management stated
to the Arbitration Committee that it
would reply to the ultimatum of the
men at midnight. Members Of the
Committee state that it was agreed that
the notification would be given, whetl-
er the matter was considered favOrably
or unfavorably. They say they waited
until half an hour past midnight, and
receiving no communication from the
company, telephoned the w. & E. G.
Office. The answer which they say they
received, was that the company will
give its reply to-day.
There was an impression on the part
of the members of the Arbitration Com
mittee, that the company was endeav-
oring to secretly treat with the meri
They allege that shortly after midnight
two Of the strikers, one living in Elm
Grove and the other in Triadelphia
came into Trades Assembly hall, and
stated that an official of the road had
gotten them out of bed. They were I'M
der the impression that a conference
was being held about midnight, and
were in no enviable frame of mind as
they returned to their homes. Further
developments are expected to-day.
Nothing new developed yesterday in
the situation on the Wheeling read.
