IN KAN SAS CITY
All Gar Lines Were in Full Operation
 No Violence

Kansas City, Mo, May 13.-Every street car line in this city and in Kansas City, Kan, was in full operation today, and no show of violence was offered by the strik- CTS. The injunction of the federal court, enjoining the union men from interfering with ,-.e running of the cars, and the added fact that it was Sunday combined to have a salutary effect on the strikers.
 Early in the day groups of strikers gath cred at the different power houses and qui- etly urged the crews to go out. Less than a dozen responded, however, and the places of these men were promptly filled. Railroad officials had applications from twice as many men as they could use, and to be sure of no delay placed half a dozen extra crews at the terminus of each line paying them full wages to fill the gap that might be caused by any recruits to the strikers ranks. Occasionally along the line the cry of "scab would be heard, but it was prn- cipally the act of boys. who took delight in tantalizing the new men.
 The weather was delightful, and the peo- pie took advantage of it, with the result that the trains were crowded throughout the day. There was practically nothing to indicate that a strike in progress. President Holmes declared that so far as his company was concerned the walk-out was matter of history, and he emphasized the statement by joining a party of friends on a jaunt to Leavenworth
 The strikers, interviewed individually, however declared they were still hopeful and that tomorrow would show different re- suits. During the afternoon the Industrial 1,nIl resolutions were adopted upholding the ac- tion of the strikers and expressing their sympathy and well-wishes for victory.
 The resolutions go so far as to request the union musicians at the parks controlled by the street railway companies to refuse to play for the daily concerts
 The Industrial Council is composed of 53 different unions outside the building trades Each of these unions was represented at todays meeting by two delegates.
 In addition to the resolutions of sympa- thy the Industrial Council unanimously adopted the following appeal to the Mis- souri members in congress:
 "A crisis has been precipitated by or ganized labor by the action of the Metro politan Street Railway company in dis charging sixty-five of its employees because
  these men saw fit to connect themselves with others of their craft; that when the employees attempted to exercise their man. hood by requesting other employees to be- come members, the company resorted to the United States for blanket injunction. restraining each one from interfering in the matter with the men in their employ at time when not a single unlawful act could be charged up to organized labor; therefore, we appeal to you in the name of humanity to use your best endeavors to have congress pass an act limiting the power of United States judges in issuing injunctions, and in this connection we rsvor the election of United States judges by direct vote of the people,"
 This appeal, which was unanimously adopt- ed by the council, was ordered sent to each Missouri member in congress.
 was occasioned, of course, by the re- straining order issued against the strikers last night by United States Judge Hook
 A mass meeting of strikers has r>en called for tomorrow morning at 1O30, when it is believed determined action will be de- cided upon.
