STRIKE AVERTED.
Trolley Men and Managers in New
Haven Reach an Agreement.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star
NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, August g. 1904.
A repetition of the trolley strike of two
years ago in New Haven, has been averted
by the prompt action of General Man
ager Punderford Of the Consolidated Street
Railway Company.
A strike of the 900 or more trolley men
has been threatening for several days The
cause of the difficulty, it is said, is the re-
fusal of the company to Increase the wage
rate from 20 to 221a cents per hour, and to
recognize demand that the road be made
union road. The latter demand COM
prehends that only union men shall be en-
ployed in the future on the road This was
refused two years ago.
The men now get 20 cents per hour
regular and % cents per hour overtime
after ten hours work. Some of the men, it
is said, make from 81 to S23 per week
These fortunates were against going on a
strike. In their strike two years ago the
men had the sympathy of the public but
at present the sentiment of the people has
been with the railroad. The New Haven
street railroad system is owned by the New
York, New Haven and Hartford railroad.
After several meetings We're held by the
trolley men 1t was decided to accept the
terms as presented at the meeting by the
general manager of the railroad. The terms
as presented provided that extra men.
those who have worked fractions of days
hoictoAoie' olldil Ut dCcTeOlteO with ten
hour day: that all men serving less than a
year shall be paid 2O1a cents per hour in
stead of 20 cents; that all overtime work
shall be paid for at the rate of % cents per
hour, instead of 80 cents, as requested by
the men, and all regular men are to get
p cents per hour hereafter instead of 70
cents.
The railroad does not recognize the union.
This action is taken by the railroad Of
hcfals because they prefer to run an "open
road rather than to require every man
who enters their employ to join the union.
The oldest trolley men will be given prefer
ence in runs. and they will be given all the
advantages to which they would natural
ly be entitled by long service.
1t is claimed by the officials of the road
that this slight advance in wages while it
looks very small, means an increase in the
pay roll account from $4,000 to $4,000
year. 1t is also said the receipts for last
month were about $4,000 less than the re-
ceipts of year ago for the corresponding
month.
In the event that settlement could not
be agreed upon, the railroad company had
have secured the services from trolleymen
in towns along the coast where the travel
during the present summer had been slack
and the men had been laid off
The plan of the union will be to endeayor
TO secure additional members among the
trolley men to join the ranks and eventual
ly make 1t union road The company
however, does not object to its employees
joining the ranks, nor does it object to the
union. but, on the other hand, reserves the
right to meet any committee of men at
whether 1t be union or non-union commit

e,epram from Kuropatkin, according t

telegram from Kuropatkin, according to
the ST. Petersburg correspondent of the
Echo de Paris reporting that there has
been no change in the district of concen-
tration. He says that the Japanese have
not vet crossed Taitse river, and Russians
still occupy right bank. The Russian troops
have occupied Siaosyn, an outpost. and ku-
roki has withdrawn as far as Saimatse.
Russian staff officer is quoted as say
ing that a week ago much uneasiness was
felt regarding the situation of the army.
Now If is regarded more hopefully. The
:Japanese are in scattered groups. Russians
are in one body. They are less in number
than the Japanese but their position is
more compact. He regards the situation as
most favorable.

I'M ABSOLUTE ACCORD.
Great Britain and United States Agree
on Contraband.

IONDON August 9.-The Associated
Press learns that absolute accord exists be-
| tween the United States and Great Britain
| in respect to the rights of neutral COM
merce. and when the declaration of Secre-
| tarv Hay was published yesterday the
State DEPARTMENT was informed that it was
| in entire accord with the attitude of Great
| Britain.
| Tn order that Russia might understand
| the similarity of the British and American
views Lord Lansdowne directed the British
ambassador at ST. Petersburg to protest
against the Russian definition of contra
| band along the same lines as the declara-
| ton transmitted through Ambassador NC
| Cormick.
Great Britain would like the United States
to take steps to obtain international
declaration defining the rights of neut-als,
| but it is not thought at the foreign office
| here that Secretary Hay will do it, it being
understood there that he proposes to re-
| tain complete liberty of action
| For all practical purposes accord exists
| between the two governments by the COM
munication especially on the part of Great
| Britain to the United States, of the action
of their respective governments in specific

With reference to the constitution of
special admiralty prize court at the Rus
sian capital to reconsider the case of the
British steamer Knight Commander an
nOunced in the Associated Press dispatches
from st. Petersburg last night, the British
officials are confident that it will reverse
the decision of the prize court at Vladi-
vostok
They maintain that the decision declar-
ing the steamer to be lawful prize was
not justified by international law, and that
wha teyer the vessel carried Admlrai Jes-
sen had no right to sink her. Great Britain
will not accept a settlement merely by the
payment of monetary Indemnity but in
sists that a broad principle shall be estab-
Iished This Russia cannot admit at this
moment. In view OF the finding of the VIadi-
as the British government anticipates, that
international law did not justify the sink
ing of a neutral ship, then the questi On will
be CAPABLE of easter adjustment
The foreign office here denies that there
will be any reference of the knight Com
mander question to The Hague arbitration
court and SAYS it Is matter for direct ne
gotiation between the two governments
and that in view of the earnest desire of
both to reach peaceful agreement, it is
believed that satisfactory settlement will
be achieved. No
