ments in the street railway strike yes
terday, and none are expected before
this evening.
President Conderman, of the Com
pany, will arrive in the city this morn
ing, and during the day there will be
a session of the Board of Directors, at
which the entire situation will be dis
cussed. 1t is hoped that in the evening
a general conference of the Directors.
strikers and the Council Committee
can be held, and if anything happens
it will be then. Opinions differ radio
ally as to the prospects for settle
ment. but it is the universal hope that
some basis of compromise can be ar
rived at. The men held their regular
meeting yesterday afternoon, but moth
ing was given out for publication.
There was also an informal conference
of the local Directors of the Company,
last night, but this, also, was bar
rem of news features, as far as could
be ascertained.
The cars were run as usual yester-
day, but without noteworthy incident
at any point. The third week of the
strike ended as midnight last night,
and in the opinion of many to-day is
the crucial day. 1t is to be hoped 1t
will bring with it at least some indi-
cations of a settlement, for the present
situation is becoming monotonous.

BUSINESS MEN AND
THE PUBLIC SUFFER,

10 the Editor or the Register.
Sir:-It is earnestly to be hoped that
the present contest between the en-
ployes of the Street Railway Company
and the corporation may be settled
speedily, for the material interests OF
the city and of all the people thereof
are daily being injured by continu-
ance Of the deadlock. 1t is not too
much to say that one hundred thous-
and dollars have been kept out of cir
culation during the past three weeks
by reason of the existing strike, and
every branch of trade has felt the eff
fects Of the controversy, either direct
ly or indirectly, while the public incon-
venience caused cannot be measured
in dollars and cents. I am informed
that two important industries which
had positively elected to locate in this
city, have changed their ideas by rea-
son of the present condition of affairs
and that there has been spread broad
cast over the country representation
of the situation, more or less true
which is prejudicial to this community
and which not only initiates against
the business man and capitalist, but
the wage-earner as well. Once this i'm
unjustifiable it may be, it takes years
to remove it, 1t is like a faint on q
mans credit in bank, or a reflection
upon the character of woman. 1t is
hard to live down. And in view OF
these undoubted facts, to say nothing
Of the local loss and inconvenience, the
parties at interest should wave all con-
siderations which prevent an agree

to IS the strongest ever organised.
