BROKE
Faith With the Emp'Oyes and
Strike ia on Again.

ST. LOUIS, July 9.-The strike
against the st. Louis Transit COM
pany by its force of employees, was
declared off July ?, was ordered re-
neved today at meeting of the street
railway union at the west end oollise-
um. Tomorrow morning at o'clock
was the time fixed for the renewal of
the boycott on all of the company's
lines.
When the strike was settled on July
there was some mutterings of discon-
tent among the men over the terms OF
the settlement, and since that time the
dissatisfaction has grown daily. Charg-
es were made that the company had
failed to keep the agreement and a
dozen or more instances were cited
tending to prove that there had been
a breach of promise. Meetings were
held at several places in the course OF
the week and committees were APP
pointed to procure proof Of infidelity
on the part of the company. At meet
ing Of the executive committee, held
on Sunday a batch Of affidavlts was
presented to the effect that men had
been employed since July 2, in viola
tion Of the terms of the agreement. At
ter q session lasting several hours the
executive committee decided to call
mass meeting of the street car men
for this morning and recommend for
that meeting that the strike be declar-
ed on again. The central trades and
labor union met later and endorsed
the action of the executive committee.
The company through President
Whitaker addressed a letter to the men
denying that the company had inten-
tionally violated the agreement of July
2, and declaring it's intention to live
UP to every condition of the agreemnt
both in letter and spirit.
A member of the executive committee
said today taht this was the second
time that the company had broken
faith with it's employees and no agree
mnt would be accepted in the future
that did not provide for the reinstate-
ment of old employees in "a hours after
the execution of the agreement. There
will be no lawlessness nor dmonstra-
tions. BY mans of a vigorous enforce
ment of the boycott we hope to abso-
lutely destroy the earning capacity of
the company"
