leader of the party in the state, but
that he himself would hereafter take
a more active part in it's management;
that the restoration of cordial rela-
tions had been brought about by con-
cessions on both sides. and that fur
ther details of the conference were
not of interest to persons out of the
party"
In regard to the vote of this state

THE UNIONS
RATIFIED
AGREEMENT
Conclusions Reached by Chi
CagO Street Car Strike
Leaders Satisfactory
CARS ARE RUNNING AGAIN
Details of the Arbitration Kept
From the Public Both Sides
Express Qualification

Chicago, Nov. 25-The Chicago street
car mems strike was brought to a
close today by the ratification by the
men of a compact agreed upon by
their leaders and representatives of
the company.
After thirteen days of turmoil ser
vice on the various lines of the Chica-
go City Railway Company covering
ar area of 80 square miles, was re-
sumed.
The strikers met in Federation hall,
their headquarters, and the place was
crowded when President Buckley, o.
the local organization. called the meet
ing to order.
The first act was to eclude news
paper men from the hall and for near
ly two hours thereafter the public was
ignorant of the details of the proceed
ings.
Sounds indicating that speeches
were being made and frequent cheer
ing gave evidence that the terms ar
ranged by the strike leaders were ac-
ceptable to the men.
The agreement as ratified by the
men and previously accepted by rep
resentatives of the company provides
tion by board of arbitration. Their
present wages are not to figure in the
calculations. but instead the new scale
is to be based on the market value
OF the mems service.
AS the company claim to pay the
best wages the new arrangement, it is
now thought, may result in an ad-
vance of the pay of the employees.
Clause of the agreement provides
for the betterment of the working
hours. a new schedule to be arranged
by the company in conference with a
committee of trainmen.
The company retains the right to
run as many cars as are necessary at
all times "endeavoring always" the
agreement runs. Ito make the work
as agreeable to the men as is con-
sistent with the performance of its
duty to the public"
The third and last clause provides
that the strikers shall be taken back
without prejudice. Membership in tbs
union shall not constitute proper caus'
for discharge from the company
employment.
With this exception the company re
tains the right to employ, discharge O.
discipline it's employees as it sees n
so to do.
The agreement was passed unanim
ously. but not without careful consid
Grafton.
About two-t thirds of the Membership
of the union was present. Some dis
sent was expressed in the discussion
by cable men. but they raised no pro
test when the vote was called for,
There was general satisfactio
among them and sentiment for peac
as arranged by the officers was over
whelming.
The men were ordered by Secretar
Barnes to go back to the car barn
ready to begin work for the compan
at once.

1he Wrestling l1dt(h
And Other Items Not Worthy Of Mention, But Used To
 Fill Space.

The wrestling match between Tenas Smith and Austrian Louis, held at tou Gunther's hall last evening. was q success only in point of attendance. The only cx- hibition of wrestling was on the part of Smith who demonstrated that he has had considerable ex- perience in the art. Heis a stocky little fellow, well proportioned, and has a cool head and handles him self extremely well. On the other hand. the Austrian is a big clumsy fellow, with undevcloped muscles and an utter lack ef knowl- edge of catch-as-catch-can wr,st. ling. In his time he may have been A good Graco-Roman wr-stl- CT but eatch-as-catch-can. nevaire.
 The conditions of the match were. that the Austrian was to throw smith twice in an hour. but these conditions were quite reversed for smith threw the Austrian twice in thirty minutes. Under the con ditions of the match, Smith very wisely acted on the defensive, but getting tired of slow work, he sailed in aad permitted tie Austrian to get hold on him. In falling, smith saw to it that he fell right, and as soon as the mat was reached. he took advantage of the half Nel- son that the Austrian had on him by clinching his hold arm and roll ing him, thereby winning the fall in fifteen minutes.
 ln the second bout, the Austrian WAS more cautious and smith showed signs of confidence. They played for hold for some time, Smith being az aggressive as the Austrian. Once smith tried for a ''cross buttick," but owing to the size of his opponent, he failed to make his hold effective. After con- siderable tag" you're it" tactics, Smith permitted the Austrian to get held on him. and on falling io the mat, Smith again secured < fall in the same manGer as in inc first bout.
