ST. LOUIS STREET CAR STRIKE.
After Twenty Days the Two sides
Are StiII nt Outs.

st. Louis. May 27.-This was the twen-
tieth day Of the street railway strike and
the end seems as far away as ever, bot IN
the Transit Company and its employees
standing firm in their respective positions.
Not car on the Transit Company system
has been run since the strike began with
out police protection. In consequence Of
there not being police TO guard the SEQ
or more cars usually operated, less than
quarter of that number have been run by
the company over only part of its twen-
ty-two divisions and lines.
Since May 8, when the strike began,
there have been numerous collisions be-
tween the police and the strikers and the
latters sympathizers. Hardly a day dur
ing that time has passed without some
body being wounded by bullets or injured
by flying missiles and police clubs. The
list of casualties presents four persons
shot and killed, twenty wounded by bull
lets and fifty or moro injured In other
ways.
Two of the killed were innocent by
ISLANDERS, q striking motorman and an
emergency policeman completing the num-
ber. Several of the wounded are In a
critical condition and may die.
1t Is estimated by the strikers that less
than fifty of their number, 1925 who
struck, have returned to work. These,
with the street car men, imported from
other cities, are operating the Transit
Company's cars. 1t is asserted that at
least fifty of the imported men have joined
the strikers.
All of the points Of issue between the
company and its striking employees have
been agreed to except that of feinEtating
all of the men who went out In their old
positions.
The company refuses TO displace the
men they have hired since the strike
began, while the strikers decline TO sign
any agreement that does not give all the
old men their places again. Several at
tempts have been made to bring the en-
ployers and employees together, but with
out success, and thus the matter stands

A. Black, agent of the state, and the
documents found include his report TO the
Legislature in ls60 and vouchers estab-
fishing the indisputable evidence of the
claims. The documents were hidden In
the State Capitol during the war between
the states, and have since been given up
as lost.
Agent Black in his report to Gov. Als-
ton in 1860 states that the Senate APP
proved the claim by a vote of 33 to 10,
but the bill failed of concurrence in the
House as the condition of the country
was so unsettled However, the House

attempt 20 establish a claim against this
state for $250.000 for stores seized at the
arsenal in Charleston by Gov. Pickens
just at the outbreak Of the war, and oth-
er claims, but the states now established
counter claim will more than offset that.
