DETROIT'S CAR
SYSTEM IS TIED
UP BY A STRIKE
FIFTEEN HUNDRED EMPLOYEES
WALK OUT AND NOT A CAR Is
OPERATED, ALTHOUGH THE
BIG STATE FAIR is IN PROGRESS
MEN ARE DEMANDING AN IN
CREASE OVER THE PRESENT
WAGE SCALE.
BY Associated Press.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 20.-Fifteen
hundred employees Of the Detroit United
Railway Company went on strike al
$3.50 o'clock this morning and no street
car is running In the city.
The men get %, % and % cents an
hour. They ask % and 80 cents an
hour.
Last night leaders Of the local street
car mems association took UP head
quarters in a public hall and as soon
as the crews finished their respective
runs they marched to the hall. Just
as dawn was breaking, hundreds OF
men, still wearing their uniforms. went
marching IN every direction towards
the NEE ttpg place.
Practically all Of the men were al
the meeting this morning" said one OF
the strikers. "Only about so were alb
sent. There was not a dissenting vote
on the strike proposition"
Out through the great factory dis
trictsI in the north, east and west ends
great army Of workingmen trudged
down the center of the streets. There
was no car service.
State fair officials were out early
anxious and worried about conditions
at the fair grounds. With the big ex-
position under way only two days, and
with thousands of persons expected to-
day and all the rest of the week, IL
means a great loss to the association
The men are asking for a raise of
cents an hour and when the company
at one point in the conference asked
whether the union would consider a 1s
hour day as the new schedule, they
offered to try the hours for 13 days.
The company insisted that If the
question of wages was to be considered
the men must accept a Is hour sched-
ule without trial.
The wages which exist at present are
% cents an hour for men who have
worked less than six months, rs cents
for those who have worked under is
months and % cents for those who
have worked over Is months. The in
crease which the men ask would make
the maximum wage 80 cents and the
minimum Is cents.
Out of the 2,400 men employed by
the company, 100 are members of the
association. The remaining 700 are
men who have been employed by the
company for less than ninety days and
who are not entitled to membership
until they have worked that length Of
time.

Washington, Sept. 20.-That the
government Is ready to permit the In
ternational Harvester Company vol
unfairly to readjust its organization
to conform TO recent interpretations
Of the Sherman law became known
here today.
Pending the result of conferences
between Attorney General Wicker
sham and attorneys for the company
the threatened dissolution suit is be-
ing delayed.
Negotiations looking TO an under
standing between the government and
the company have reached the stage,
it is said, where it will be necessary
for Mr.. Bancroft, counsel for the
company, to refer the question OF re-
organization to the company's board
of directors.
Financial circles recently have
heard persistent reports that the gov
eminent was to bring an antitrust
suit aginst the company. Some papers
necessary for court proceedings were
prepared.
NO NEW DEPARTURE.
The negotiations which Attorney
General Wickersham has been carry
ing on with officials of the Harvester
company do not constitute an entire
ly new departure in federal regulation
of corporations, although the proceed
ing is of a character only recently
instituted. In the case of the. So
called electrical trust and that Of the
Southern Wholesale Grocers' Asso-
citation the corporations recently were
permitted to agree to the govern
ment's demands. These agreement
are put in the form of DEGREES which
will be submitted to the United States
courts for approval
It is not known definitely that the
Harvester Company will be able e
follow the course of the electrical
trust or the grocers' organization, al
opposition may develop in the board
of directors.
Meanwhile the department OF Jus.
! tice is continuing it's investigation
and agents Of the department are still
at work. Details of the negotiation
| between Messrs. Wickersham anC
Bancroft have not been allowed to be-
come public, although 1t is known
| that as one condition to non-prosecu-
! ton the government insists upon the
business of the trust being separated
into the four corporations which mrs
| composed 1t.
These were the Mccormick Har'
vesting Machine Company, the Deer

kee Harvester Company and the Plan'
