ent Emmons, after consulting the other
officials of the company. stated that if the

the reinstatement Of the nine men who
went out when called by the union on
Sunday he would consider the offer. This

now be to a finish and that the boycott will
be made more rigid. The strikers wives
and daughters will be formed into an aux
Hilary society to enlist the sympathy of the
women, who are about the only ones who
ride on the cars. Before going away to-
night Mr.. Jacobs said the union is willing
TO sacrifice everything but honor TO bring
about peace, and that he will now leave the
case in the hands of the local men, but will
perhaps return later. Great disappointment
