ATTORNEY LEHMAN TALKS.
Had Hopes That Union Would Ar
prove His Proposition.

Fred W. Lehman OF counsel for the
transit company said yesterday. after the
strike WAS declared renewed:
II had but one purpose I'm view in going
TO the meeting. and that was to convince
the men that the company was acting in
good faith and proposed 10 stand by the
agreement of July .. both in letter and
that little or no heed would be paid 10
my words. but ] wen: prepared Ia and did
make q proposition which ] know must
commend itself to the favorable consid"ra-
tion of the St Louis public. and which I
had hoped would meet tho approval of
the men.
THAT proposition WAS simply this. tn
submit the question ot fact as 10 whether
the company had broken faith or not I"
Mr.. Joseph W. Folk. the attorney for th'.
men. and il his Judgment was against the
company To discharge every man that he
decided had been employed In violation nf
the terms Of settlement Of july , Could
any fairCr proposition he made" Could
any reasonable body uf men ask for NOR.
Could the company against whom this cnnI-
plant Is lodged ito more; As said before;
the company is acting in perfect good
faith in this matter and had no thought
OF doing otherwise.
This recent trouble Is one entirely NJ
fact. and as such is susceptible of proof.
Mr.. Folk being the attorney Of the men
they could confidently rely upon him In
protect their interest, and the company is
50 absolutely certain of its contention that
II was willing to trust its security to his
hands.
My suggestion was ignored, a. the ac-
tion of the meeting shows ! know IF
nnthing else can do In the premises but
submit 10 the Judgment Of i competent
public 10 decide whether ar not the com
pary could do more than II did to prevent
a recurrence of the conditions which sub

Franchise Annulled.
REPERLIC Special

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Little Rock. Ark. July ?-The City Coua-
Gil tonight took decisive action relative 10
the street car controversy by adopting the
following recommendations offered by
Mayor Dudley:
Il deem 1t my duty to urge upon the
Aldermen the necessity Of taking some de-
ciGed action relative TO the franchise of the
Little Rock Traction and Electric COM
pany. The numerous derailnents and the
Inconvenience TO and the hardships i'm
posed on the general public on Juiy te-
cause of the very poor physical condition
of the tracks and rolling stock have caused
such universal condemnation that il
amounts to a demand upon US to take ac-
ton. inasmuch as all former petitions have
been ignored.
Il would therefore recommend that the
City Attorney be instructed 10 apply to the
honorable United States Court to have the
receiver make the necessary improvements
within a reasonable time. and In the event
this Is not done that he at once take such
steps as may be necessary looking to an
nuilng the contract between the city and
the street railway company.
