which involved the refusal to employ men
who had been rioting and held out for
discharge Of the non-union men
employed during the strike. IN
regard to the discrimination
against riotous strikers, it was
represented to the deputation that as the
union leaders they had openly discoun-
tenanced violence and 1awIessness. and
that it would lock bad, TO say the least,
to sanction it by insisting that rioters be
re-empIoyed and this argument was ef-
fective. AS for the discharge OF the non
union men hired during the strike, it is
believed that statements were made infor-
maliy by the directors to the effect that
these new men would not assimilate with
the old employees and it is generally be
lieved that the directors allowed it to be
understood that the company would dis
pense with their services after satisfac-
tory compensation.
When the conference ended, the Alba
ny representatives, of the strikers went to
the Labor Temple where the executive
dred meetings in West and North Albany

The Troy representatives went to their
home early and got the executive commit
tee together The committee ratified the
agreement and issued a call for a meeting
at once
There was a great hurrying about in
cabs of the officers OF the two unions in
volved from I O'Clock in the morning un-
til after o'clock The Troy strikers were
the first to ratify the agreement. They
voted before sunrise The West Albany
men were assembled at O'Clock and the
agreement went through at once.
The North Albany meeting was but a
formality, for majority of the North
Albany employees were present when the
executive committee of the Albany Union
approved the agreement shortly aft
er midnight, and when they were asked
to express opinions there was not a dis
senting voice after the leaders explained
the agreement
There then remained nothing but the
formal signing Of the agreement by the
president of the traction company and
chairman of the board of directors and by
Messrs. sheehan and Van Allen, the pres
idents of the Albany and Troy Unions. TO
be followed by the official announcement
that the strike was over.
