CHICAGO STRIKE ENDS
City Railway Company Running
Its Lines Once More With
out Mob Opposition.
WAS A FAILURE FOR THE MEN
They Got Nothing They Originally
Demanded, but Are Conceded
One Later Point.

Chicago, Nov. 25.-The strike OF the
employees of the Chicago City railway
was settled at an early hour this morn
ing at conference between the may
or, the aldermanlc peace committee.
President Hamilton and +. Il. Bliss,
counsel for the company, and the ex-
ecutive board of the local union OF the
strikers. The basis on which the set
Element was reached is a complete vic
tory for the accompany as far as the orig
inal demands of the men are concerned.
The agreement will be ratified at u
meeting of the men, and ii is expected
pany will be resumed today.
One Point the Company Comedies.
The only important concession made
by the company WAS an agreement TO
reinstate all the strikers. including the
outside unions who went out in sympa-
thy with the trainmen, with the eXcep-
ton of those who resorted to violence
during the trouble The arbitration Of
the wage scale is TO be according TO the
wages paiu outside of Chicago. and not
on the basis Of the local street railways
The company has insisted chat it pays
higher wages than any similar corpor-
alton in the country, and the men were
fearful thatthe arbitration on the scale
paid i'm other cities would decrease their
wages.
What the Strike Was For.
The original demands of the union
were as follows: First-An increase
of wages amounting to cents an
hour for all men employed on the cleo
trio lines; both sides were at all times
willing TO arbitrate this, the basis of
arbitration being the sole point at is
sue. Second-The employment of none
but union men. Third-That the Off
Gals of the local union be given the
charged and the union TO have q veto
on discharges. FOurth-The right by

cars. ON all these four points the COM
pany wins.

union after sympathetic strikes had
been started by firemen, engineers,
electrlr1a workers and teamsters with
in two days after signing contracts,
and was that all men should be taken
back and given their former positions
The agreement is that all men not
guilty of violence toward the company
during the strike are TO be taken back
Others will remain out This is the
only advantage obtained by the strik,
ers.
Company slowly Gaining.
Ever since the Inauguration of the
strike. thirteen days ago. the company
has been gradually gaining the upper
hand Of the men, until traf1c had been
opened on five Inns and the rioters
had become much less aggressive. Tie
strike has not been chargeable with Il
single homicide. which is one thing TO
be thankful for.
