END OF STRIKE.
Continued from Page oneD


strike is expected to be formally de-
clared off, early next week
The terms of settlement have been
formulated and are in the hands of the
Elevated officials and the representa-
tives of the striking motormen and
conductors as result of some four
days of conference at the State House
between Coy Foss, Mayor Fitzgerald
and representatives of both interested
parties. The strike began on the morn
ing of June S. when some 1000 men left
the eompany's employ after about 300
had been discharged. it is claimed. for
having organized a union. The COM
pany was compelled to offer a crippled
service for several days but eventu-
ally secured strikebreakers and em-
ployes from Western companies and
brought the service up to. the normal
schedule.
The State Board of Cancellation and
Arbitration gave hearing on the
matter and reported the strikers were
justified in their stand that they had
been discharged because of the form
ing of union. The board recommend
ed the parties get together in amicable
conference. Later. a special session of
the grand jury was called. and is still
in session, for the investigation of
charges of perjury in evidence given
by company officials at the hearing and
to determine if the company violated a
state law which forbids the coercion
of employees desiring to join a union.
The final step was the calling of a
conference of Elevated Road officials
and representatives of the strikers by
Governor FosS at the State House four
days ago. from which time the pros
poets of an early settlement have daily
grown briter.
The Elevated Road directors are ex-
peeted to pass upon the conditions, to-
morrow or early Monday, the union
men will similarly act and terms of
settlement are expected to be ready
