MAY YET ABITRATE
TOWARDS SETTLING
 & CHICAGO STRIKE.
Despite Negotiations on, Manage mert of Car Company Will Alt tempt to Put Other Lines
 in Operation.

Chicago, Nov. H.-Peace negotiations looking to an amicable settlement of the struggle between the management of the Chicago. City Railway and its striking employees was begun this afternoon, and the indications are tonight that both sides to the controversy will agree to submit their differences to arbitration.
 A conference which lasted several hours between Mayor Harrison, the officials of the company and the special aldermanic peace commission appointed by Mayor Harrison at the direction of the City Council, was followed by another meet ing, in which President Mahon, of the Amalgamated Association of Street Rail- way Employers, and his legal advisers, took part.
 Mayor Harrison declared that the out look for settlement of the strike by ar- bitration was decidedly flattering.
 "I was agreeably surprised at the con- ciliatory attitude displayed by both sides to the controversy" he said, "and we made more progress at our first meeting than I had anticipated"
 He declined to enter into the details of the discussion that took place. but 1t is a significant fact that a further confer ence with the railway officials was ar- ranged for tomorrow.
 The object of the meeting was to bring the two sides to a point where arbitration is possible. This the Mayor believes has been accomplished.
 Despite the promising outlook for a peaceable ending of the trouble in the near future, the management of the road will tomorrow renew it's efforts to break the strike.
 Announcement was made tonight that an effort would be made tomorrow to open another branch of the road. An at- tempt will be made on the electric line running through Indiana Avenue, and if successful, will make a total of three branches that have been opened for traffic.
 The other important developments today were: A bill has been filed in the Supe- rior Court asking that receiver be ap- pointed for the Chicago City Railway Company and challenging the company's right to operate its lines on the ground that its franchises expired last July and that the niuety-nine year act claim is invalid
