 Trolley car 46 ran into a Salvation army wagon on East Main street this
 morning and tossed it out of the way as unceremoniously as if it had no rights on the public ways. People in charge of teams had better keep a sharp lookout for the street railroad
 cars. The men in. charge are not so l much afraid of running afoul of ob- structions as s.our ex-employes." Michael Kennedy, a companion of John Lombard, who was arrested this l morning on charge of theft, was

 The youngsters who struck at Sco- vill's are returning to their jobs one by
 one, and in time perhaps all of them
 will be back at their old jobs. They 1 had no fault to find with their boss. so that there appeared to be no reason why the trouble could not be smoothed
 over. One of them said yesterday that 1 the toolsetter tried to, eject him from
 the shop by force and kept at it until ! he was obliged to give him poke. 7 Foreman Thunberg should get the boys 1 together, toolsetters and all. and give them a short t"lk on the duties they owe each other.
