ST.. LOUIS, May 26.-Twenty-t two lines
of the St. Louis Transit company are in
operation but not enough cars are being
run to accommodate the thousands who
still have to depend on vehicular trans

There is a possibility that the Subur-
ban lines may again be tied up. The
union men on that line assert that
General Manager jenkins has not lived
up to the agreement by which the strike
on that line was settled week ago. At
a meeting of Suburban employees it was
decided that if all union men who had
been discharged were not reinstated at
once strike may be declared.
An attempt was made to blow up a
car on the Spaulding avenue line Of the
St. Louis Transit company. The ex.
plosion lifted the car two OF three feet
into the air, but no damage was done.
