NOT A WHEEL TURNED.
The Sixth Day of the St. Louis street
Railway Strike Was Re-
mRrkably Quiet One.

st. Louis, May 1.-THE sixth day
of the street railway strike was espe-
cially quiet and devoid of interest.
Not wheel, except of the mail cars,
was turned in the city in consequence
OF the decision OF Chief of Police
Campbell to give the men of the force,
who had had but little time for rest
during the past five days, IA chance to
recuperate for the coming week.
The management of the two street
railway companies, who feared to run
ears without police protection, decid-
cd TO make no attempt to keep their
lines open. As result the turbulent
scenes that last week marked the re-
opening of the different lines were
not experienced, and the day passed
off without serious trouble. The only
police on duty were stationed at the
different power houses and car sheds.

union men from interfering with the
running of cars, and the added fact
that it was Sunday, combined to have
a salutary effect on the strikers.
The railway officials had had appli-
cations from twice Gs many men as
they could use, and, to be sure of no
delay. placed half dozen extra crews
at the terminus of each line, paying
item full wages, to fill the gap that
might be caused by any recruits to
the strikers ranks.
