Y. M. c. A. Notes.

Secretary G. F. Warner of the Rail road Young Mems Christian Association has received a number of answers to the inquiries he sent to employees of the railroads as to their needs and wishes for courses of study in the curriculum which the association is to offer to its members. and in fact to all railroad men who desire to attend night school.
 The answers so far received are solid for arithmetic and mechanical drawing, and it is practically assured that courses in these studies will be afforded to mem bers of the night school. It is probable that other courses will be offered. Two ciasGzs in each study will be held every week.

Little Change in the Chicago
Street Car Strike.

Chicago, Nov 2O-StiIl clinging to
the hope that a termination of the
street car strike might be accomp-
lished through efforts at arbitration.
Mayor Harrison and the aldermanic
mediation committee gathered in the
formers office today. Members of the
executive board of the striking division
of car men had previously assembled
with President Mahon to discuss the
counter proposition made by the rail-
way officials last night. The peace
board of city officials waited as patti
emily as possible for the strikers rep
resentatives to make a decision which
might mean an amicable settlement of
the strike or might mean another step
toward a, general denOraliZat ton of the
city's industries.
At the union headquarters the i'm
preston prevailed that the offer would
be rejected. 1t was said that the com
pany had offered no concessions with
regard to the routing of cars and this
was declared to be one of the essential
points involved from the standpoint of
the strikers. The situation apparently
was that the mayor and the mediation
committee would have to try again if
peace is to be brought about through
their efforts.
