4 general strike, compelling the
suspension of street car service, has
caused roting in Havana, resulting in
two men being killed and several
wounded. The sympathy of the city
officials is with the strikers and no ar
rests have been made. The situation
is grave and continuance of the
strike must cause much suffering to
the poor. Tuesday night the central
labor union at Havana decided to call
off the strike, and committees were
appointed to inform the various IN
ions of this decision. There will
probably be complete resumption of
work at once. Much of the credit for
the settlement of the strike is due to

jured.
