Settlement of New York
Street Car Strike Hangs
in Balance; Men Satisfied
By Associated Press

New York. Aug. 7.-Settlement of
the street railways strike in New York,
which has partly tied up the surface
nnes OF the city, hung in the balance
this afternoon. Striking employees of
the New York Railway Company to-
day ratified tentative agreement be-
tween them and the company pro.
posed by Mayor Mitchell and Public
Service Commissioner Straus, but the
directors of the company were con-
sidering its ratification at a meeting
begun this forenoon and still in ses-
sion this afternoon.
Union leaders said the men were
ready to go back to work if the agree
ment IS ratified by the directors. In
substance the agreement provides, il
was learned: First, that the company
shall concede the mems rights to or
ganize; second, the company shall
agree to meet and deal with any men
whom the employees might select as a
committee in the even of differences
arising; third, the questions of wages
and hours of labor shall be placed in
the hands of committees representing
both sides, for settlement if possible by
August 20; fourth, that if no agree
ment is reached by August 20, the diff
ference shall be referred to an impair
tial board of three citizens for arbi-
tration.

records all summer.
There is but one section of the Will

is little off" at this time. That
occurs near Huntingdon, where the
contractor is placing the rock foun-
dation for four miles of new hihway
necessitating a detour. In Westmore-
land and Indiana counties the road
was never in better shape. From Cam
bria county east to Harrisburg the
highway is a continual surprise to
travellers. In this section there are 100
straightaway miles of permanent road,
passing through a country rich in
scenic beauty. Travellers from the
eastern or western sections of Penn
sylvania who have never passed
through the Lewistown Narrows or
the beautiful Juniata Valley should
avail themselves of the opportunity
this week.
