tlement Is Made.

tIement Is Made.
Chicago, Nov. 25-The Chicago
street car mems strike was brought to
a close today by the ratification by
the men of compact agreed upon by
their leaders and representative of
the company After 13 days of tur-
moiI service on the various lines of
the Chicago City Railway company,
covering an area of So square miles,
was resumed.
The strikers met il Federation hall,
which has been their headquarters,
and the place was crowded when Pres
ident Buckley, of the local organiza-
ton, called the meeting to order.
The first thiRg was to exclude news
paper men and for nearly two hours
thereafter the public was ignorant of
the details of the meeting. The sounds
indicating that speeches were being
made and frequent cheering, gave evi-
dence that terms arranged by the
strike leaders were acceptable
The first news from the hall was
that the men by practically a unani-
nous vote, had accepted the PROPOSE
tion to arbitrate the matter of wages,
the scale to be based on wages paid
IN other cities. Soon after a second
announcement proclaimed the accep-
tance of the whole compact
With this announcement came the
statement that the Union men had
been ordered to report to The various
barns, ready to take out cars immedi-
ately.
