STRIKE OF ST. LOUIS CABMEN
They Promise That the Chicago Idea in
Cab Strikes Shall Not Rule.


ST Louis, Jan. GA strike of hack
and carriage drivers is on in this city
and East ST. Louis. involving 500 men.
The strike was authorized by the In
ternatiohal Brotherhood of Transfers
and the managers say that there will
be no repetition of the Chicago trou-
bles, and that any union man caught
rioting will be disciplined. The en-
ployers are backed by the Citizens In
dustrial association, and that body says
that any attempt at violence will be
suppressed, even if the militia is neces-
sary to do so. The CLOSED shop" is one
of the issues.
LAverymen are bringing outside help
to take the places Of the strikers. Many
funerals were held, and although non
union divers were hired they were not
molested. Many livery proprietors act
ed as drivers. Outside of the funerals
the livery business was largely at q
~standstill. Chief Of Police Kelly re-
Quested all the nverymen and under
takers In the city to meet In his Of
flee to consider the situation and dis
cuss the matter Of preventing any pos
sible violence.
A number os livery drivers has been
sworn in al private vatchmen and
given authority to carry armsand make
arrests. In East st. Louis the owners
Of all the livery stables acted as driv-
ers in funeral professions, but were
not molested. The general opinion. on
both sides is that the strike will be
governed by the outcome of the st.
Louis strike.
