over trifling matters Be sure you are
right and then go ahead

At the close of Mr.. Pratt's remarks he
was cheered again and again by every
man present. The band was then called
out and the 400 employees followed 1t
through the street, parading two abreast
to the car barns. As the parade move /
down the street. headed by the band, the
long line of successful strikers returning
to their work formed a sight long to be
remembered by the citizens of Salt Lake.
When the parade reached the car barns
the employees were requested to gather in
their rooms on the second floor. Here
they were formally received by Assistant
Superintendent Orson 2. Arnold II. T
3. Grey. International vice president of the
carmen's union, returned the men to the
employ Of the company with a neatly
worded speech. He said in part:
mir. Arnold: I have been asked as a
representative of the employees in the
street railway department of the Utah
Light & Railway company, to formally
company. over 400 of your very best men.
! think you will agree with me, Mr.. Ar
mold, that in personal character and 10y
atty the employees of the Utah Light &
Power company are second to none in the
world.
Respect for Law.
''They have been taught the need of 10y
atty and respect for the law in their union
rooms and they will place the same mean
ing on orders issued by the company
Right here Mr. Arnold. I wish to say that
there was rot a single striker who at any
time or in any manner mOlested or re-
tarded car or in any way obstrUctcd the
tracks. The gangs that INSTRUCTED the
cars were for the most part composed Of
hOOdiumS.
The employees of this corporation. sir
for the most part are men Of families
they spend n good share Of their time in
close contact with the home life Of
the city and for that reason the company
could i'll afford to lose their services.
Il wish to inform you Mr.. Arnold. that
these men bear no enmitv against this cor
pOratiOn. They felt it their duty to walk
out as American citizens and exercise
their right to ask for more wages
any hard feeling and am
more than pleased to say that I am now
here TO turn over to YOU the finest BODY
of workingmen in Salt Lake as Stauuch
and true friends Of the company as they
ever were"
Mr. Orson p. Arnold in behalf Of the
company mounted a table and said:
Fellow Workmen: I am more than
pleased to welcome YOU back to work al
your old positions. Let us bury the
Ratchet and get down to work. let by
cones be bygOnes and hereafter be friends
Let us work together TO give this city d
street car service second to none in the
country. This system has been run down
long enough, let US get together and build
it up now that we have the opportunity
This can only be done if you will coop
crate with the company and we all do our
very best. I believe this will he the case
and for that reason I am right glad to
have you back and to accept from Mr.
Grey once more your services for the
company. I thank you"
Loud cheers were given for Arnold and
the men We're dismissed with a selection
by the band. the day shift to take out
their cars usual and the night shift
