THE STREET CAR MEN WIN.
indianapolis Strike Has Been Settled
and Service Resumed.

Indianapolis, Nov. 8-For the first
time in seven days the people of In
dianapolis rode to work this morn
ing on the street cars. Service,
which was interrupted by the strike,
is resumed. In charge of cars were
motormen and conductors who a
week ago quit work when the COM
pany refused to receive the commit
tee appointed to present their griev-
ances. Arbitration was agreed on
late yesterday.
The strike was settled through the
efforts Of Governor Ralston. The en-
ployees won their demand for arbi-
tratiOn, but nothing is said about
recognition Of the union or terms Of
settlement.
All Of the men who were in the
employ Of the company Friday night,
October 81, when the strike was call
ed, and all employees who had been
discharged on account Of joining the
union are TO be reinstated by the
company, with full seniority rights
and without prcjudices. The COM
pany, however, is not compelled to
reinstate men who engaged in vio-
lence during the strike.
Disputes and grievances as to
wages, hours and conditions Of SER
vice will be referred to the utilities
commission for arbitration if the
company and employees fail to reach
an agreement within ten days. The
company must take up these griev-
ances with its employees within five
days after the resumption Of service.
The utilities commission, by the
terms Of settlement, must render a
decision, which shall be binding on
all parties interested for three years,
and shall date back to the resump-
tion of work, within thirty days from
the date Of the first hearing
In edition to union and traction
company officers the agreement was
signed by Ethelbert Stewart, repre-
senting the Federal government, and
Governor Ralston, for the State.
The stttlement of the strike means
that the 1000 members of the In
diana National Guard, called to In
dianapolis yesterday by the Cover
nor, for strike duty, will be dispatch
ed to their home stations as soon as
possible.
