Are Excluded.

Chicago, Nov. '5.-The strike of the
employees Of the Chicago City Railway
Company was settled at an early hour
this "wednesday morning. The basis
on which the settlement was reached
Is complete victory for the company,
as far as he original demands of the
men are concerned. The agreement
reached will be ratified at meeting
OF the men this morning, and 1t is ex-
pected that traffic will be resumed on
all the lines today.
The only important concession made
by the company was an agreement to
reinstate all strikers. including mem
bers OF outside unions who went out in
sympathy with the trainmen, with the
exception Of those who resorted to vio-
lence during the trouble.
The arbitration Of the wage scale is
to be according 10 wages paid outside
Chicago and not on the basis OF local
street railways. These are the two
points that have been the stumbling
block to peaceable adjustment Of the
strike for the past week. The COM
nany has insisted that it pays higher
wages than any other similar corpora
tion In the country. The men were
fearful that arbitration on the scale
paid in other cities would decrease
their wages. and they fought stub
bornly for their point.
