STRIKES END IN SIGHT.
at Cleveland May B
Reached This Afternoon.

CLEVELAND. Ohio, May 21.-Appar-
emily the last obstacle In the way of a
peaceful settlement Of the pending street
car strike In this city, was removed early
this morning. when the employees of the
Forest City Company, the original three
cent fare line. agreed to leave their sem
iority rights In the hands Of the arbitra-
ton board. This has been the chief bone
of contention between the union leaders
and President Dupont of the Municipal
Traction Company since the beg!nning OF
the present trouble. President Dupont
has insisted throughout that he would
give the Forest City men who stood By
the company and reused to strike the
first choice OF runs.
With this impeachment removed it is
thought there will certainly be reached
late today an agreement by which all
grievances will be submitted to arbi-
tration and the strike declared of.
While many lawless acts were perpe-
trated during the night by strike sym
pathizerS. no person was seriously hurt,
a half dozen cars were damaged by the
of dynamite and one or two
persons were slightly hurt by broken
window glass.
Vice President Behner and other Of
ficers of the car mems union visited the
various car barns eariy today and
urged the strikers to refrain from COM
uniting any acts of violence.
At largely attended meeting of the
United Trades and Labor Council last
nigh: a general street car boycott was
declared An appeal was made to all
people not TO patroniZe the cars pend
ing q settlement OF the strike.

veil Yesterday and outlined to him the
great inconvenience and trouble that
would be caused if these items are enact
ed into law. particularly the one about
the occupancy of the municipal building.
Members of the tuberculosis congress
were at this con. erence at the White
House, and upon the suggestion of the
president showed Willingness to help
tLr commissioners in having the items

engagements for the Internal onal tubercu-
losis congress. that the lease of the pres

is no appropriation for further rental

The decision was. therefore. reached
that the city government shall move
