ST. LOUIS, Mo, May 14.-Poicemen spent
Sunday resting from strike duty and were
in good condition to begin work today.
Squads were detailed, as last week, to
guard the cars on the suburban system and
the divisions of the st. Louis Transit Com
pany, which 1t was thought advisable to
operate.
At II o'clock the usual number of cars
are being run over the three divisions of
the suburban system, and number of cars
on the following lines of the Transit COM
pany are in operation: Lacede. Bellefon-
taine, Compton, Park, Delmar, Page and
Spaulding. All but the last three were in
operation as early as o'clock, but owing
to a grounded wire on the Lindell division
cars on the Delmar, Page and Spaulding
lines could not be started for several hours.
Calls for $500 men to serve as emergency
policemen and assist the regular force in
keeping order during the strike are not
meeting with the hearty response expected,
and up to II o'clock less than 200 men were
waiting to be sworn in.
