Strike on One of the st. Louis Lines
IL Settled.
st. Louis. May 16.-There were Inn
portant developments in the street
car strike situation yesterday: At
a conference held between the officials
Of the. Suburban Railway company,
the only system in st. Louis not con-
trolled by the st. Louis Transit COM
pany, and on which a strike was in
augurated ten days prior to that de-
clared or. the Transit system, and the
officials and employees of: that road,
an amicable adjustment was effected
and the men will return to work in
the morning. On just what bal sis the
strike was settled could not be
learned. but it can be positively
stated that the union received full
recognition. In many quarters it is
figured that the settlement Of the
strike on the Suburban presages an
adjustment of the difficulties between
the. Transit. company and its 5000
striking employees in the lear future.
In fact it was learned last night that
at a. conference held in the afternoon
of the officials of the transit company
the chairman of the employees griev-
ance committee and some Of the mem
bers Of the citizens committee mat
tiers were adjusting themselves nice
~ for a settlement Of the difficulties
when a member of the citizens COM
mittee injected into the proceedings
a proposition of such a character that
the discussion was brought to n close
with matters no nearer a settlement
than had hitherto existed. 1t is
thought. however. that a future meet
ing Of the same parties will result 10.
establishing a bacis for the settlement.
of the strike. The Suburban company
had no difficulty in maintaining a
thorough running schedule yesterday
and no serious demonstrations. on.
that line occurred. On the Transit
compahy's system there were a num-
Der Of demonstrations, more. noisy
than otherwise. -
