COMMITTEE ON ENTERTAINMENT

While the managers Of the Masonic fair
OF 1907 do not expect that many Of the
visitors attending the fair will be in need
of the help of physicians or nurses, at the
same time they are planning extensively for
any possible emergency that may arise as
the makeup of the committee on public
comfort and order testifies. The crowds
each night during the two weeks the fair
is in progress will undoubtedly be very
large, and this will mean that the physi-
clans will probably have something to do.
Maj. Richard Sylvester, superintendent of
police, is chairman Of this committee, and
Mr.. Thomas p. Morgan is the vice chair
man. Mr.. Edwin B. Hesse is the committee
secretary. The plan is to establish regular
hospital quarters in Convention Hall, and
have in attendance at all times star of
physicians and nurses.
Following is list of the names of the
non professional members of the commit
tee:

STREET CARS START
Service Which Has Been Tied Up For Several Days at
 Salt Lake City.

Salt Lake, Utah, April 30.-Street car service in Salt Lake will be re- sumed to-day after suspension since Sunday. After the electrical work CTS had practically decided to go out in sympathy with the car men, as well as for the adjustment of griev- ances of their own, early to-day, the street car company sent for former Congressman Bringham H. Roberts and gave him plenary powers to come to any settlement with the men that would not involve formal recog- milton of the union. MT Roberts im- mediately met National Secretary c. o. Pratt, who told him the terms to the men. To these MT Roberts as sented and the strike was over.
 The strike was started Sunday, after much fruitless negotiations, which ended with positive refusal of General Manager Bancroft of the Utah Light and Railway Co to recog- nize Secretary Pratt of the union. Both Sunday and Monday the com pany signally failed in its efforts to run cars. Public sympathy seemed with the men. Though they indulged in no violence during the strike their more demonstrative sympathizers made things warm for employees who stood by the company.
 The demands of the men which were granted are rate of 25 cents an hour for carmen and 30 cents after the first years service. The recognition of the union was not granted by the company, but Secre- tary Pratt thinks that the changed attitude of the company, which ter minated the strike, amounted nearly enough to recognition to satisfy the men.
 When the carmen's settlement was announced the electrical workers consented to let the matter of their demands go over for the present.
