Trades Council Secures Adoption by Common Council Which Means In vestigation and Report on Controversy of Carmen.
MORE EGGS FOR
 MEN ON CARS
Manager Mitchell Agaln Tries to Move Cars But Is Obliged to Abandon Attempt-Issues Sta tc- ment on New Situation.

Ar attempt on the part of the Phoe- nix Railway company to move cars yesterday met with the same sort of d reception as that of Sunday in which spoiled eggs and over-ripe lemons were cltapulted at the crews of the cars, until it was necessary to withdraw them from the lines. AS on Sunday, as well as Saturday evening. there was little or no material damage to prop trtv. Three arrests were made yester dav in connection with the strike, one of a man who sotIed Special Policeman NcCann's clothes with eggs. and the TWO others who were specially aggres- sive in evidencing their displeasure at the attempt to operate cars
 With the exception of the disturb ance attendant upon the effects of the company to resume its schedule, yes terdav was devoid of disorder and eX- cept for the absence of the cars from the streets there was nothing to indi- v cate that a strike was iii progress.
 The attempt of the executive corn luittee Of the carmen's union to hold a conference with Manager s. H. Mitchell yesterday was again fruiuess- This was occasioned, not through any dis position upon the part of NIr. Mitchell to iguore the men, but by reason of the fact that the filing of the supplement tai petition. demanding increased wag- cs and q readjustment of general working conditions. so completely changed the situation that the manag CT took the same course he pursued in the riginal instance and placed the matter up to the owners in Los Ange- les. II was a situation, he said. where in he felt he would not be authorized to act without instructions
 The common council was in session last evening, gathering in accordance with the arrangement made upon the occasion of the adjustment last week While the body was c0nVening, tn } executive committee Of the carmen'a union. met in the Labor Temple and drafted q communication to Mayor Christ>. requesting the naming of s committee of three to investigate the strike and make report which shall be given to the public This letter was hurried over to the city hall and given public reading.
 It follows.
