Mayor Mcclellan in response to his
suggestion of yesterday. SAYING, he
would arbitrate any proposition that
may hriIig abou amicable adtJusn.ent
Of the strike. The executive commit
tee of the Interbrough Company de-
clined the mayors prefer of arbitra-
ton in a long letter, in which, after
charging that the men deliberately
violated their obligations, the commit
tee says that under the circumstances
the company finds nothing to arbi-
trate. They said also that they find no
ground for believing the decision of an
arbitrator would be more binding
than the solemn agreement which was
so quickly and deliberately violated
by the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers and Firemen.
The letter says that the company
is fully able to maintain its service if
the authorities protect life and prop
erty.

To oblige them often costs consid-
cradle, though the party who
makes the request thinks the grant
ing scarcely worth saying "thank
you," for newspaper is a peculiar
thing in the public's eye. The
news gatherer is stormed at because
he gets hold of one item and doesn't
get another. Young men and often
young women as well as older per-
sons perform acts which become
legitimate items for publication
and then rush to the newspaper
office to have it suppressed. The
next day they condemn the same
paper for not having published the
same thing they were guilty of,
forgetting apparently their last
visit to the printing offices. The
