The report OF President w. d. Ma

of Street Railway Employees OF Amer
lea to the delegates at the opening OF
tho biennial convention in Pittsburg
contained some interesting data
While It showed that the organization
had more than doubled in member

that increases in wages had been Sc
cured during that time by ninety-four.
local divisions. It, showed that the
number Of strikes had fallen OF so per
cent
On this point President Mahon said;
During the past two years the
strikes in or association have de-
creased about so per cent In the two
previous years. from 1899 TO 1901. out
OF 1se chartered locals we had twenty
six strikes. During the past two years,
out Of 334 charters, we have had but
twenty-seven strikes; seventeen Of
these were won, three were compro-
miRed, three were lost and four are
still on. The decrease Of strikes in
the past two years is due to two
causes. One is that great number OF
the companies have come to a better
understanding as to the aims and OBJ
jects Of our association. The other
one is the strict enforcement Of our
laws and following that policy Of let1
ting no strike take place until every
other means has been exhausted and
arbitration refused by the companies,
and upon the question Of strikes I
would recommend that we maintain
the same policy in the future that We
have maintained during the past two
years and that no strike be sanctioned
or allowed until after all constitu-
tional requirements have been carried
out aud arbitration has been rejected
by the companies.
"The results Of the past two years,
as I have just stated, point to us the
wisdom Of our policy Of adjusting such
disputes as we are unable to reach
amicable adjustments with the com
