UNION LIGHT PLANT RUNS
DESPITEI ITS TWO STRIKES.
Electric Workers Walk Out Pending
Settlement of Differences and Team
STEERS Trouble Cuts Coal Supply.

Differences between union electric work
ers and the directors of the Union Elec
trio Light and Power Company, Tenth and
ST Charles streets. which have been brew
ing for some time past. resulted in seventy
five men quitting work at o'clock yester-
day morning at the Union plant. Among the
men who walked out are linemen. cable
spl,cers. trimmers, inside wiremen and OIL
ers.
Representatives of the company claim
that the men quit because the company
would not discharge certain nonunion work.
men Linemen seen. about the labor head
quarters last night stated that the COM
pany had refused to give the men any
satisfaction in regard to q raise which was
asked week ago.
Lnemen. 1t was said, wanted 81 q day in
stead of So, the present scale. The entire
working union force, 1t was stated, de-
manded that the plant be unionizei.
1t is claimed that the entire force OF en-
gineers. firemen and oilers of the Union
Electric Light and Power Company; with
the exception of few oilers who quit yes
terday, are nonunion men. and 1t was very
distasteful to those affiliated with labor or
CARNATIONS to work with them.
8. B. Way, superintendent Of the company,
was seen and stated that the strike had
were furnishing light the same as usual.
Along Franklin avenue. in labor head
quarters and in saioors all lights belonging
to the Union Company were turned OFF last
night by order Of the Central Trades and
Labor body.
The company is also affected by the coal
haulers' strike. All OF its drivers belong
to the Transfers Union. and 1t was with
much difficulty the company was enabled
to get coal yesterday.

General Manager DUPONT Assure:
b. Z. l. That Improvements
Are to Be Made.
LESSEN DANGER TO LIVES.
Safety Devices Have Been Given ,
Trial by the Street Railway
Company and Satisfactory
Results Are Obtained.

A. b. DUPONT second vice president and
general manager of the ST. Louis Transit
Company. appeared before the Board OF
Public improvements yesterday ard notified
the members Of that body that his company
had placed orders fer full power equipped
brakes for each Of it's cars.
1t will probably be not longer than a few
weeks Mr.. DUPONT said. before the brakes
VIII be ready for adjustment.
Until Mr.. Dupont maze his announce
ment to the B. P. l.. there seemed to be no
immediate prospect OF the Transit Com
pany's cars being equipped with these life
saving devices. despite the existence Of an
ordinance compelling the street railway
companies to pace power brakes and wheel
guards on their cars.
Several months ago the Board of Public
improvements requested the Mayor and City
Counselor to take acton aga nst the Transit
Company to enforce the ordinance and Mr.
Du Pont at that time assured the chief
executive that the Transit Company was
arranging to equip its cars with air brakes
as rapidly as possible. and on this assurance
the Mayor postponed immediate action.
As an outlay of $4,000 for these brakes
is involved. the Transit Company deemed IL
advisable to proceed carefully. and as a
result several months have been spent In
testing various devices
According to Mr.. Du Points statement to
the Board Of Public improvements. the
company has nnally found a brake. which
1t believes to be satisfactory. and now
steps will be taken to have the order
rushed through. that there will be no fur
Their delay.
To Sewer Commissioner Hermann belongs
much credit in bringing about this needed
Improvement in the street-raiiway service.
He was especially active in forcing the
Transit Company to a realization Of its
duty. He had repeated conferences with
officials Of the company and was the means
of the Board Of Public improvements re-
Questing the Mayor to take action.
