Behener of the union said:

today will be a mere Formally"
Officials of the street car company
said they had 1000 men on the wait
ing list and did not fear a strike.
There are 1000 motormen and con-
ductors employed on local traction.
President Dupont of the Municipal
Traction company yesterday refused
the demands of the employees who
asked for a wage increase of two cents

operating the local lines with a three
cent fare is under contractual obliga-
lions to grant the raise in wages as
this concession was made by the old
Cleveland Electric Railway company
to become effective upon settlement of
the general street railway con-
troversy. The holding company Off
Gals deny that they are bound by any
agreement made with the employees
of the old company. The new COM

of one cent an hour last Wednesday,
