Mexico City July 6-No passing cars disturbed the rapidly accommodating rust on the rails of the street car company today except on the suburban lines. AL though an agreement to end the strike of the platform men was reached Tuesday, the management of the company has not yet been able to resume the service. By a large portion of the 2000 strikers the agreement was repudiated notwithstand- ing it was a granting of more than three f1fths of their demands and the discon- tented faction has been able so far to prevent the operation of all but the in terurban and funeral cars.
 Following a clash this morning between police and rioters near the car barns, in which two were killed, another riot oc- cured on San Augustine street in which Governor Granados of the federal district played a part
 In order to make a personal inspection he boarded an outgoing suburban train. But few blocks had been traversed when the motorman was forced to turn off the current or drive his car into a solid mass of rioters.
 Stones were hurled through the car win dows, and on catching sight of the gov ernor some one shouted for the crowd to set fire to the car. Willing hands were tearing out the oily waste from the wheels to secure fuel for the fire. when the gov ernor gave orders to charge the. crowd. No shots were fired, but sabers were used, and more than 50 arrests were made. h. cluding these there are now in jail more than 100 who will have to explain their participation in the street car riots. Most of those arrested are not street car men but their sympathizers. They are for the most part men and boys of the lower class.
 Cars Have Guards
 Only g. portion of the surban service has been re-established and no effort has been made to run the cars on schedule. Those which are operated carry as guards from two to four policemen, while patrols of mounted police ride about those parts enter.
 The police tonight have their orders to give all necessary protection to the men the company is placing in charge of the cars.
 The strickers themselves have not been so active in hostile demonstrations as their sympathizers. Their leaders are counselling them to preserve order.
 Other Strikes End
 The strike of the cigarette makers came to an end today without the com pany finding it necessary to' make any concessions whatever and the bakers de- cided not to call strike
 The hope of the telegraph messengers to gain the distinction of being styled strikers was dspeled by the department of communications assuring them today that they would be supplied With rain coats and be asked to work shorter hours. Apparently satisfied the boys continued to work.
 From Vera Cruz came the news today that the stevedores had struck for high CT wages. No disorder was reported
 According to reports received from Aguas Calientes, and Mapimi, the strikes of shelter men at those points were set tied last night and the men returned to work today at practically the same wages they had been getting.
