AND JERSEY CITY.
chauffeurs, Cabmen and Store Drivers
to Continue the Fight
Alone.

New York, Nov. 14.-The strike OF
drivers and helpers employed by the
trans-continental express companies
was formally declared off and it was
announced at strike headquarters that
the men will return to work Monday.
This will end one of the most serious
labor disputes that the metropolitan
district has experienced in years.
The close Of the strike was brought
about by the New Jersey strikers who
voted to accept the terms upon which
the companies offered to take back the
men.
They had at first rejected the terms.
but at conference of strike leaders
with Mayor Wittpenn of Jersey City
and President Towne Of the New York
Merchants association cleared the way
for agreement. The New York strikers
voted to accept the company's offer
conditional upon similar action being
taken by the men across the river.
Mayor Gaynor and Mr.. Towne were
largely instrumental in inducing the
companies to name terms acceptable to
the strikers The agreement provides
that the men shall be taken back with
out discrimination, except for acts Of
violence during the strike. Each COM
pany will take up with its employees
the adjustment Of wages and hours.
Recognition Of their union. the chief
issue for which the strikers held out, is
not granted.
The agreement between the COM
panies and employees does not affect the
strike of chauffeurs, cab drivers and
drivers for department stores, who at
first quit work in sympathy with the
express employees, and later presented
demands of their own. Secretary Fors.
ter of the Information Brotherhood Of
Transfers declared the fight Of the
chauffeurs and cab drivers will con.
tinue until recognition of their union
is won.
Negotiations between the striking
store drivers and their employers are
under way. 1t is hoped a settlement
will soon be effected

Frank J. Sprague. a consulting engineer
read the main paper, in which he described
the proposed route as badly conceived ana
predicted utter failure of attempts to get
that road built and operated by private
capital. Mr. Sprague condemned the route
because IL paralleled the existing subway
below 42d street at distance Of only one
block and gave added rapid transit facii-
ties to the lower East Side, leaving the
lower West Side without such provision.
He advocated a change in the route
which would divert the new subway be-
tween 42d street and Seth street west TO
Seventh avenue and down to the Battery.
He said that the larger dimensions for the
new road would mean an increase of more

that the failure of the Public Service Com

EIGHT KILLED IN R|OTS|
Three Women Among Victims at
Basse- Terre, GuadeIoupe.
ATTACK AT THE ELECTION
Radicals Try to Storm Hall of
Observation-Disclosures
on Island.

Basse-T erre. Guadeloupe, Oct. IL
Five men and three women were killed.
and at least twenty-five other persons
wounded, six of whom will die, during
rioting in the Petit Bourg Of this city,
the capital. at yesterdays elections.
Of the dead one was a.woman seventy
years of age, who was shot behind the
closed doors of her home, which stands
opposite the Town Hail. 1t is supposed
that many others who were injured fled
to the woods after the fighting The
roof of the Town Hall, in which the bal
loting took place, was riddled with bull
lets.
The trouble began through the ejec-
ton from the hall of the representatives
of the Radical party at the moment
when the voting ceased and the inspec-
ton of the ballots was to begin. The
Radicals, who charge frauds against
Governor Gautret and the government
party at the elections of last April, pro-
tested against this action and, going out
side. stoned the building.
Finally, rallying their forces and de-
claring their right to be present and
assist in the canvass of the votes. the
Radicals attempted to force an entrance
and assaulted the twelve gendarmes who
stood in their way. The gendarmes fired
A volIey over the heads Of the Radicals
and then shot unfortunately into the
crowd
Jean FRANCOIS, acting Mayor of Pointe-
a-Pitre and the representative of the
Radicals, was threatened by the gen.
darmes. who aimed their rifles at him.
Francois. however, folded his arms and
facing the guards. defied them. This act
of bravery caused the gendarmes to d.
vert their aim.
The wounded are receiving medical at
tention. Late last night a prosecuting
attorney and magistrate arrived here
and began an investigation. A detach-
ment of twenty-five soldiers was also
brought here from Point-a-Pitre, as the
situation Is still threatening. The people
are sullen over the deaths of their fell
low citizens. Governor Gautret has
taken no action.
Later many OF the wounded were re-
moved on a coasting steamer to Point
a-Pitre. and borne on stretchers through
the streets to the hospital. Their gar
ments were bloodstained and attracted
sympathetic crowd that followed.
Three gendarmes were wounded. Great
excitement prevails throughout the ISL
and
Yesterdays elections included the
choice Of thirty-six members of the gen
eral council. and rioting had been eX-
pected. as the feeling between the gov
eminent party and the so-called Radical
party was intense. This bitterness has
seriously affected the business interests
of this country, now abandoned generally
by travellers and foreign capitalists. in
Guiding even French financiers.
