Send Them Home.
(By the Associated Press.)

St. Louis, July 13-General Manager
George w. Baumhoff of the ST. Louis
Transit Company gave out signed state
ment today in reply to the published
charge made by the strikers in which the

cd the agreement entered into on July
Cd. General Manager Baumhoff denies
that he violated in the slightest degree
the agreement between the striker com
mittee and the transit company. He
says he has strictly adhered to that
agreement and endeavored to act fairly
with the strikers at all times. The gem

very lengthy one is denial of all charges
made by the strikers against him. He
says:

conducted in the interests of the street
railway employees instead of for the ben

ers, there would haye been no strike and
all the differences existing between the
company, and it's employees would have
been cheeerfully and promptly settled"
President w. D. Mahon of the Street
Railway Mems Union arrived here today
from Detroit He will take charge of
the strike at once. Two thousand So
licitors engaged by the trades and labor
unions to canvass the city and collect
funds for the striking street railway

have buses enough after few days to
meet the demands of the sympathizing
public The imported men now at work
for the Transit Company are becoming
dissatisfied and charges of unfair treat
ment have been made by them against
the company.
The executive committee reported that
a delegation of the present employees OF
the Transit Company had waited on it

once if the union would pay their trans
pcrtation to their respective homes. The
