STRIKERS Reject
PEACE PROPOSAL
Hope of Settling Philadel-
phia Labor Dispute Aban-
doned for Present.

PHILADELPHIA. March 21.-By 4
vote of TO Il the executive committee
Of the local carmen's union. after an
aII-nlght meeting. today rejected the
proposition Of the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Company. looking 10 a settle
ment OF the trolley strike.
Prospects for any further peace moves
being made until either the company or
the strikers ackno Wedge defeat are not
promising
The rock on which the company and
the executive committee of the carmen
have split is the refusal Of the com
mittee to hereafter exclusively recog-
nize the grievance committee elected by
a majority OF the trOlleymen. or. in
other words, the executive committee Of
the union.
The men decline TO entertain the pro-
posal of the company that It shall per
nit any number Of committees 10 pre-
sent grievances. or for the men 70 pre-
sent themselves individually.
Gompers May End Strike.
That President Gompers. Of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor. will be IN
Philadelphia tonight OF tomorrow, and
will take a hand in the settlement Of the
strike Of the carmen there, IS the belief
of officials Of the federation In this city.
Mr. Gompers went TO New York Satur-
day afternoon 10 attend a conference,
which il is believed had much to do with
the announcement made this morning
that the strike is about to end. and
that organized labor will accept the con-
cession promised by the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit Company.
Reports received at the federation
headquarters today from the organizers
in South Bethlehem Indicate that strike
situation there Is growing more ia, or
able every day for the strikers, and that
a settlement is looked for almost any
dav now.

UNIONS FIGHTING
ON WESTERN ROADS

No progress has been made toward
settling the differences between the
fremen and engineers and the forty
nine railroads running west of Chicago
which they serve.
This was the report made by Chair
man Knapp of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, one of the Government
medlators who went 10 Chicago in the
hope OF producing an amicable ar
rangement Mr.. Knapp was called back
70 Washington on important business
of the commission, but he left Commits
sioner Of Labor Nell In Chicago TO con-
tinue the efforts to avert the threat
ened strike.
Tho fight now is not between the
railroads and their employees. II is be
tween two labor unions, the Brother
hood OF Engineers and the BrOtherh 1Od
Of Firemen and EnSinemcn. The for
r1er which IS not IA king an active part
in the controversy with the railroads, is
composed Of 80 per cent of locomotive
engineers. The latter is composed In
about an equal proportion of flremen.
and insists that when d fireman Il pro-
NOTED TO be an engineer il SHOULD con-
tinue 10 control him in the matter OF
wages and hours of labor.
The engineers say that If this demand
Is continued they VIII strike because
tUeN 90 uUl ITDppSc TO nave lnelI OF
ganizatiOu dominated by a lot Of FIRE

the demand IS granted they viii strike.
They number about 1900 men and
should they 60 out would he able TO tic
up all Western traffic. Under these cir
cumstances the railroads are between
the upper and neither mill stone Com
missioner Knapp would not express an
opinion upon the ultimate outcome OF
this trouble.
II is believed, however. that the only
solution of the difficulty will be to find
son. means of maintaining the present
status ~ the hope that I'm the future
conditions will so adjust themselves as
to make a recurrence Of the present
tension impossible. Most of the rail-
roads and the men are ready 90 arbi-

This expressed impotence throughout

country is about ready for an era Of
thrift From this period, WITH its rest

seeking for the cause, there Is bound to

are coming to a realization that each
can do his part in lessening the strain.

is the true basis of prosperity. and any
thing that helps the people TO save in
stead of to squander win serve to bring
conditions TO a solid basis. It seems
from present indications that once the
postal savings banks are started there
win be thousands of people saving their
who never thought of saving
before. and this undoubted impetus to
thrift and economy must react TO the
benefit of the nation as a whole
