Strike |'1
4 Is Declared Off.

Pittsburg, June 28.--At 1890 o'clock
tonight the Street Railway strike,
which has cost the city of Pittsburg
ly declared at an end.
In the private Office of Mayor Will
liam A. Magee articles were signed
by officials of the Pittsburg Railways
Co, and an executive committee from
the Amalgamated Association of Street
and Electric Railway Employees which
will for years to come, prevent anoth-
err paralysis on the 400 miles of street
railway tracks in and about Greater
Pittsburg and Allegheny county.
The strike. it developed tonight was
the outcome of two points of difference
between the car company and the mo-
tOrmen and conductors, one being al
legged neglect by the car company to
shorten Swing runs and the other
refusal by the railway officials to re-
instate discharged men without prop
er hearing.
\ All during the day Mayor Magec
made vain efforts to bring the two OPP
posing elements together and finally at
a conference at 9 o'clock he made his
car company officials and union men
finally agreed to settle their differ
ences. With slight notifications an
agreement. allowing discharged men
proper hearing before superintendent
and the assurance of the car company
that they would shorten swing runs
so per cent. was drawn up and signed.
There will be no ratification meeting
of the union tonight. Union headquar-
tiers were also notified by Mayor Ma
gee and the executive committee to
instruct pickets at the car barns to
call the men for duty commencing at
5 o'clock. 1t is said that by 7 o'clock
all the $500 cars in Greater Pittsburg
will be running on regular schedules.
