SHOP or shed men seem to have clear con-
ception OF the purpose of the meeting.
The effect of the action of the Executive
Committee in ratifying the agreement
signed by Chairman Edwards. with the ap-
proval or the Grievance Committee, was
noticeable yesterday in the increased traffic
on the transit lines, especially the north
ana south divisions. The travel on these
lines yesterday. considering that Ii was 4

fore the strike.

New Lines and Connections.
II expect to have the new lines and con-
nect!ons Incorporation within week OF ten
days az most The new ears are expected
by that time. but they may be delivered
sooner Twenty-Five cars were put in oper-
alton tonight on the two new lines that
have been opened for the accommodation
OF the summer garden patrons. When the
cars going west reach Grand avenue they
are always so crowded that the people get
ting on in the West Erd cannot get a seat.
The new arrangement will greatly improve
this condition on the Washington avenue
lines and the Laciede as well.

western terminus for these new lines A
new curve switch has been put in at the
corner of Washington and Garrison ave-
nuSs- The Delmar avenue cars viii run
east TO Euclid avenue. where every other
car will turn south over Euclid to Lacleie
avenue. where IL viii turn east to Grand
avenue. and north on Grand to Finney and
then west again by the regular route. The
cars that continue down the regular route
to Garrison avenue will switch north over
Garrison to Lucas. and then west on Fin
ney. following the usual route TO the gar
den. This arrangement will make the
travel TO the garden more pleasant than
usual.

fine wire netting, to keep bugs from NY
