CAR STRIKE SETTLED
EMPLOYEES WIN RECOGNITION or
UNION At BUFFALO.
Agreement 10 Signed and Company
Order All Men Back to
Work Today.

Buffalo, N. Y. April 1.-THE street
car strike 10 over. The majority of
the 1000 conductors, motormen, line
men and truckmen who have been on
strike since early last Sunday morning
reported for duty today.
The decision was reached after a
long session between Mayor Fuhr-
mann and representatives of the trac-
ton company and the strikers. The
company finally agreed to recognize
the union and meet with committee
OF the men in a few days to settle a
schedule and working conditions. In
asmuch as recognition OF the union
was the principal demand OF the strik
ers, the agreement was quickly signed
and the strikers we're requested to re-
port for their usual runs this morning
and at seven o'clock service, which
has been totally demoralized for six
days, was resumed
There were several reasons why the
company finally agreed TO the de-
mAnds Of the men,. The state board
OF arbitration had begun its sessions
and the attorney generals office had
begun an investigation. The county
officials had served a notice on the
company that they must pay for the
troops being maintained, inasmuch as
the city and county authorities had
not called for them. The mayor had
made arrangements to force the COM
pany to run cars or forfeit its fran
chise. The district attorney had ar.
ranged to arrest every strike-breaker
who took a car out because they were
violating the state law which re-
auires man to have instruction for
Is days under a competent man. In
addition, arrangements for a general
strike had been made and intense
pressure had been brought to bear by
the business men of the city to end
the trouble.
