STRUGGLE TO CONTINUE.
Illinois State Board of Arbitration
Fails to Effect Settlement In
Strike at Bloomington.

Bloomington, ILL.,, Jan. 8.-The mem
bers of the state board of arbitration
Thursday made public their report on
the street railway strike and left for
their respective headquarters. The re-
port is unsatisfactory, as no concessions
could be secured from the company, the
answer being that the strikers had for
merly left the services of the company
and that there was nothing to arbitrate.
The board secured concession from
the men by substituting 18 cents an hour
for 10, as first demanded, but the COM
'pany refused to pay more than 17cents.
the old scale. The company also refused
to take all of the strikers as body, but
would only agree to take them back I'M
der individual contracts and only as
needed. The fault of the state board
to effect settlement is taken to mean
that the struggle will be continued in
definitely.
Commencing win Thursday, the cars
are all running on their full schedule.
There is still slight disorder, the most
serious case being the firing of a bullet

Chicago, Jan. 8-When the 1roquois
fire started the audience viewed it with
calmness, and in fancied security sat and
waited, with astonishing faith, until
death suddenly swooped out from the
proscenium arch and claimed nearly 600
souls.
This terrible fact was brought out
with distinctness at the first session of
the inquest, which was begun Thursday
morning in the council chamber of the
city hall.

Thought Theater Safe.


morning in the council chamber of the
city hall.
Thought Theater Safe.
The great audience, largely made up
of women and children, firmly believed
in the safety of the Iroquois theater. For
several minutes after the sparks began
to fly on the stage the audience remained
practically motionless, watching the
stage hands trying to extinguish the fire.
The audience sat, sane and practically
quiet, while the sparks changed into
flames.
Not until the great mass of fire leaped
out from under the stalled curtain did the
panic really start. Those persons, even
in the second balcony, who needed the
great difficulty.
The beginnings of the inquest indicate
that the playhouse tragedy will be
probed to the very bottom, until every
detail of the horrible calamity and it's
causes are exposed to the full light OF
day.
No Discipline Among Employees.
A chaotic state of discipline among
employees of the Iroquois theater has
been admitted by Managers William J.
Davis and Harry j. Powers.
The managers were summoned before
Attorney Monroe Fulkerson, who is con-
Quoting the investigation for the fire
department, and showed the densest
ignorance in regard to the management
of their enterprise. The statements
we're made under oath.
No one had ever been given specific
instructions what to do in case of fire.
Mr.. Davis did not even know whether
or not the building had been turned over
to the Iroquois company by the Fuller
Construction company. He did not
know whether a final certificate of in
spection had been obtained from the
building department.
Everything was left to Thomas j.
