COUNTER PROPOSAL
 MADE BY OFFICIALS

Kansas City, Dec. 1S.-Kansas City's street car strike seemed no nearer settlement tonight than when it be- gan seven days ago.
 Following mass meeting of strik- ing mOtOrmen and conductors which consumed the greater part of the day, a proposal counter to the one put for ward last night by the Kansas City Railways Company, was evolved and sent to company officials, and city authorities who are using their efforts to bring the walk-out to an end. The counter proposal suggested that the wage award recently made by the Federal War Board be left to the pub lie service commissions of Missouri and Kansas and the courts for en- forcement, "bOth sides agreeing to us their best ,endeayors to put said award into effect through these bodies. !" These men the proposal stated, would return to! work to their old position and under contracts existing on De- cember 10th.
 When the counter proposal was placed before Mayor James Cowgirl, he announced that the city would have nothing to do with it, asserting that it involved the question of fare increases which the city is now contesting in the courts. The company has signified its willingness to put the wage increases into effect provided it be permitted to increase fares.
 This evening, there was no indica- tion as to what the next step in the controversy would be.
