Cleveland. May 24.-The street railway
men last night voted 70 return to work,
pending arbitration Of their differences

tion Company.

that by a majority Of twenty-nine the
men decided to waive their seniority
rights In favor of the men employed to
break the strike and return to work Mon
day while the arbitrators settle the dis
pute between the two sides. Tonight
the men now employed b. the car com
pany will vote to determine whether or
not, If settlement is effected, they will
remove their seniority right or take
chances with the strikers Of getting good
jobs. There has been no violence to-day.
The men will take up their jobs again
only while the arbitration proceeds. A
third arbitrator IS TO be chosen, and the
strikers will vote on whoever is selected
by the two men already picked. Then
they will vote again on the questions to
be submitted to arbitration. If the men
now employed by the trolley company
refuse to give up their seniority rights,
there will be another hitch in the peace
proceedings. and the present strikers
probably viii quit work again.

lating petitions for a referendum on the
granting of the franchise to the Munich

obtained the necessary number Of sigma
tures to call an election. The mayor,

Pennsylvania Delegates TO Ignore
Views OF Districts.

Harrisburg, Pa, May 24-Many Of the
district delegates 10 the Democratic na-
tional convention have communicated
with Secretary Meek at State committee
headquarters here since the recent State
convention. and II Is learned that they
nearly all regard the action Of the State
convention as superior to any home in
structions.' and binding on them to stand
with the anti-Bryanites at Denver.
1t appears that even in districts where
the Bryan League put Bryan's name on
the primary tickets many Of the delegates
hold that. with no other name on the
ticket for the voters TO consider. this did
not constitute a genuine instruction, -
and that they will, therefore follow the
long-established Democratic custom of ac-
cepting the decree Of the State conven-
ton as final on matters OF party policy.
