EFFORT TO END STRIKE.
Continued from page One.
ANOTHER CONFERENCE.

Mayor Harrison and hts mediation COM
mlttee held another conference with rep
resentatives OF the company and OF the
strikers today.
Anent the possibility OF a sympathetic
strike on other street car lines In Chicago,
President Mahon OF the Amaigamated
association OF strict railway employees
said.
j will not recommend a general strike.
but should the proposition be put up for
the men To vote upon. there Is n strong
probability that they would vote TO
strike. This is especially true OF Union
traction men who feel Justihably indig-
nant over tactics used by their company
to aid the City Railway company in the
present strike.
Except for a few stones on the tracks
there was no attempt to delay the Indi-
ana avenue cars on their way to the busi-
ness centre from the barns at Thirty
ninth street.
Neither strikers nor their sympathizers
were present In any great numbers and
the street presented almost its usual ap-
pearance. on the return. however con-
siderable delay was caused by the short
circuiting" OF the line.

In the transportation OF an amount OF
coal 20 this port. The complainant, who
IL master OF the schooner James Durield,
agreed TO bring 10 this port cargo or
coal and sludge for the defendant COM
pany and when he presented the bill for
the same IL was claimed that the quantity
brought was not In accordance with the
substantial performance OF the agree
ment
The company claimed that the vessel
could carry from 3b0 or s60 tons OF coal or
322 tons OF sludge. While the amount
brought was Jesse than 200 tons.
In the course OF the trial II developed
that sludge IL OF such a character that
not so much can be carried for cargo
as IAN be transported OF coal and the de-
cision rendered in the case made the
complainant entitled to s34s.6 Sc III demur-
rage with interest and $1,E udspaid bal
ance OF freight.
