P1rrsBURo. June 27.--Not a street car
wheel turned in Pittsburg to-day.
The first day Of the strike Of 5000 motor
men and conductors resulted in a COM

Only five United States mail cars ran

manned by under officials Of the PittsburR

in the> whole district to-day. probably
because the street car people decided not

they declare will result in breaking the
