CHICAGO STRIKE HAS ENDED
EXECUTIVE BOARD OF THE UNION
AND COMPANY AGREE.
Traffic Has Started Again-Strikers
Get Places Back--Wage Scale
City to Go Into Electric Light Bust
ess-Fight the Big Trust.

Chicago, Nov. 27.-The strike OF
the employees of the Chicago City rail-
way was settled at conference be-
tween the mayor, the aldermanic
peace committee, President Hamilton
and e. R. Bliss, counsel for the COM
pany, and the executive board Of the
local union of the strikers. The basis
on which the settlement was reached
is a complete victory for the company
as far as the original demands of the
men are concerned.
The only important concession by
the company was an agreement to
reinstate all the strikers. including
the outside unions who went out in
sympathy with the car men, with the
exception of those who resorted to vio-
lence during the trouble.
The arbitration of the wage scale
is to be according to the wages paid
outside of Chicago and not on the
basis of the local street railway. These
are the two points that have been
the stumbling block to peaceable
adjustment of the strike for the past
week. The company has insisted that
1t pays higher wages than any SINH
lar corporation in the country. The
men were fearful that the arbitration
on the scale paid in other cities would
decrease their wages and they fought
stubbornly for their point.
| To Fight Monopoly.
Mayor Harrison has declared that
the city would enter the electric light
ing field at once in competition with
the gas trust and the Chicago Edison
and it's subsidiary companies.
