NO SETTLEMENT IN SIGHT
A Talk on the Subject Yesterday With
Organizer Rein Orr.

reporter for The Tmes-Dlspatch had
a talk with Mr.. Rein Orr, the general
organizer of the street railway men. yes
terday, In the course of which there was
held out little hope of the end OF the
street car strike. Il the termination is to
be attained only by the yielding of the
men who have gone out.
When asked II any Of tho strikers had
left the city or were seeking work else
where. Mr.. Orr said: about half a
dozen of the men have gone to their for
mer homes in other cities or in the coun-
try OH visits. but all these Will return.
Not one OF them has gone back to the
company"
what are prospects Of an endAto the
present trouble?" was asked.
IT am very confident that there will
be settlement because with the deter
mination shown on both sides ] see no
other way out Of the present situation"
Z ''Would the strikers, In the event OF
a settlement. insist on tho reinstatement
of all the old employees"
II think they would. unless some OF
the mon did not want to return.
Have any of the men who went out
accepted employment elsewhere. or are
any seeking employment elsewhere, SO
far as you know"
position In other business. and has nc-
cepted It, so I am informed. I do not
recall his name.
.'Have the men vet received any pay
ment from the national organization?
well, no; not yet. There has been no
request for It yet. and then you know
the men have all just drawn their pay
for their late services TO tne company.
Besides this, contributions Of money are
pouring In, many Of them from persons
and firms in this city. others from out
side
"Nill you continue to remain hero. and
direct the strike as long as It lasts?,
''Oh, yes: I will stay here. unless, OF
course, I am called away by business
elsewhere for a. few days"
DO you know of any definite plan for
tho settlement Of the strike now under
consideration or suggested =
ono, 7 know Of no definite plan. Sew
eral persons have spoken to me on the
subject, but nothing definite has yet
developed"
MI. Orr stated that no received a. type
written letter inclosing "a check for 500
drawn on the Merchants National Bank
and payable to Resin Orr. and purport-
ing to be signed by John p. Branch. Tho
check was taken to the bank and there
discovered to be forgery MIR. orr SAID
that tho bogus check was drawn IN tho

How It Occurred.

From the best information attanablc
yesterday 1t appears that the shots which
wounded Sergeant Easley and the motor
man on Main Street car about II
O'Clock -.fhursdaY night, while passing
near Main and Walnut Streets, were
fired by one man, and that that man
stood In an alley in the rear Of the last
brick tenement on the south side of Main
Street, nearest to Walnut Street. Per-
sons living in the tenement state that the
sounds came from that direction. and that
the man firing was safe from return fire
by merely stepping into the alley, In the
caes OF n car moving east he could fire

range by the intervening of these brick
houses.
Mr.. A. o. Boschen, who lives IN one

opinion that the shots were fired by one
man, and that he was stationed at the
