The passengers on the train were

Officials Declare
Strike at an End.

PHILADELPHIA. April T.-Although the
completed count of the referendum vote
NV the striking carmen showed that the
motormen and conductors voted against
accepting the terms offered by the Rapid
Transit Co. and returning to work, the
local executive committee of the Anal
gamated Association of Street and Elec-
trio Railway Employees adopted resolu-
ton tonight declaring that the offer of
the company should be accepted. The ac-
ton of the local committee was ratified
by the national executive committee OF
the Garments Union in Detroit. The terms
under which the men will return to work
are substantially the same as were Of
fered to them in letter sent to May or
Reyburn four week ago by President
Kruger of the Rapid Transit Co.
The resolution declares that it is the
opinion of the committee that In view of
the present situation the terms of the
company should be accepted
On Thursday night the executive COM
mittee voted in favor of accepting the
terms which representatives of the
American Federation of Labor had in
duced the company to hold open, al
voted against accepting them.
1t was believed that the influence of
the Garments leaders would be strong
enough to secure a ratification of their
action in the referendum vote, which
had to be taken under the constitution
of the Garments Union. In the north
eastern section of the city, where trade
unionism is strong, the strikers were
averse to accepting the terms, which they
said amounted to a surrender.
In view of the coseness of the vote
and the many Irregularities which the
committee claimed were shown, it was
decided by the committee to ignore the
result and declare the terms accepted.
After the passage of the resolution
President Driscoll of the local Carmen's
Union left to confer with the Transit
Co. officials regarding details under
which the resumption of work will take
place.
