A General Tle-Up of all Cars In
Kansas City Expected by
This Evening.
'lsW'cARs MOVING IN ST. LOUIS
Republican Senators Against
Government Ownership of
Armor Plant.
APPROPRIATION FOR ST. LOUIS

Kansas City. May 12-The Union
street railway employees voted this
morning to order strike on all lines
3 of the Metropolitan street railway. Not
enough men responded to tie up any
of the main lines.
About five hundred of the $500 con-
ductors, motormen and gripmen res
ponded. Many men, not already mem
.bers of the union. are joining since
the strike leaders have taken stand
and it seems likely a general tie-up
will result before the day is closed.
The strikers showed the greatest
strength at the Twelfth street power
house, where only six conductors and
two gripmen, out of total force of
nineV. men reported for duty. Strikers
gathsred on the corners a block away
tGen3al Manager Holmes telephoned
&Sherlff Chiles for assistance
tOn the arrival of the latter, each con-
.ductor and gripman was sworn in as a
deputy. Chiles asid he intended to
protect property and life if he had to
swear in all the men in Jackson coun-
ty.
IN ST. LOUIS.
st. Eouis, Mo-, May 12.-At 10 o'clock
the first car to run over the Laclade
avenue division of the Transit COM
panyssince the strike began, was start
ed down town carrying the usual COM
plement of policemen. By II O'Clock
six cars were operating ON that divi-
AsionA Except for the yells. of derision
that. sgreeted the appearance of the
cars, there were no attempts at IN
ferruption. General Manager George
w. Baumhoff, of the Transit company,
said the present police protection was
inadequate and the company would
not run any cars later than p. m.
He said: Firemen were forced from
our premises on account OF the non
protection of police.
St Louis, May 12.-Strike leaders.
under National President Mahon, were
in confeYnce with prominent business
men headed by G. B. Woodward for
three hours today. Mr. Woodward
and conferees submitted proposed
basis of settlement between the strik
ers and the company. All the condi-
tions suggested by Woodward were
agreed to save one which is the alter
alton of the unions original demand
for recognition.
Chief Campbell announced that
policemen would not be furnished to
guard the street cars Sunday as the
men needed rest
Kansas City, May 12.-All the al
lied unions of the two cities will like
ly aid the street car strikers by boy
cotting the cars.

The Paris Fair.

Reports of threatened extortion on

price lists one the ordinary rates and
the other the special rates which are
