tion. The men on the other hand. de-
clared the company had repeatedly vio-
lated its side of the agreement and that

man led directly to the strike, other fac
tors. including unsatisfactory working
conditions induced them to walk out.

man, is an officer In the local union oi
! street railway employees.
The vote was taken at a meeting oi
more than 1900 car men after several
hours discussion. Only about eighty-five
