Amicable Adjustment Between Rme
ployes and omcials Of the St Louis
Suburban Company-other Lines
WIN Fall In Line.
ST. LOUIS, May 1l.-There were Inn
portnnt developments in the street car
strike situation to-day. At a confer
ence held between the officials Of the
Suburban Railway Company the only
system in st. Louis not controlled by
the st. Louis Transit Company and on
which strike was inaugurated ten
days prior to that declared on the Tran.
sit system. and the officials and em-
pIoyes Of that road, an amicable adjust
ment was effected and the men win re-
turn to work tomorrow morning. On
Just what basis the strike was settled
could not be learned tonight, but It can
be positively stated that the union re-
celved full recognition.
Settlement Presaged on Other ROadG
In many quarters, It is figured that
the settlement Of the strike on the su-
burban presages an adjustment Of the
difficulties between the Transit COM
pany and its s,6Oe striking employees In
the near future. In fact, 1t was learned
tonight, that at conference held this
afternoon OF the officials Of the Transit
company, the chairman Of the employees
grievance committee and some Of tho
members OF the citizens committee, mat
ters were adjusting themselves for a
settlement Of the difficulties when a
member Of the citizens committee IN
jected into the proceedings proceeding
Of such a character that the discussion
was brought to close with matters no
nearer a settlement than before. It Ii
thought, however, that future meet
ing of the same parties will result in
establishing basis for the settlement
OF the strike.

on this system had been settled. Such
