More Than Two Million
Persons Were Affected
During Two Days of
Strike in New York.
MEN VOTE TO ACCEPT
COMPROMISE OFFERED
Stoppage of Main Arteries of
Travel Caused w or st
Traffic Snarl in History of
City.

New York, Aug. 1s.-The strike
which for two days paralyzed the sub
way and elevated systems of the Inter-
borough Rapid Transit company in
Manhattan, Bronx. Brooklyn and
Queens was formally called off tonight
by a vote of the strikers to accept a
compromise offered them at a confer
ence of city and state officials this aft
ernoon.
Under the terms of settlement the
men receive wage increase of twenty
per cent and the question as to whether
they will get additional Twenty-Five
per cent submitted to arbitration. Re-
sumption of service midnight was
agreed on.
More than two million persons who
travel daily over the Interborough Rap
i'd Transit company's subway and ele-
waited lines in Manhattan. the Bronx,
Brooklyn and Queens today either took
slow moving surface cars or other con-
veyance or walked to their destina
tions as a result OF the strike of the
company's /. 400 employees for a so per
cent increase in wages. AS on Sun
day when the strike. became effective.
not a wheel turned on the company's
ESQ miles of trackage. The stoppage
of the main arteries of travel caused
the worst traffic snarl in the history
of the city. The narrow streets in
downtown New York were fairly con-
gested during the early morning. hours.
A pouring rain added to the discom-
forts.
Thousands of jitneys, and buses ope-
rated by the city. filled beyond capacity
with workers, clogged the thorough
fares. Thousands fought I'm vain for
standing room on each overloaded troll
ley car Trolleys and other vehicles
moved at snail's pace Residents
on the outer fringe OF the city were
unable to reach their places OF en-
ployuent. until many hours after their
usual time and industrial New York
was crippled in consequence.
The New York Central railroad ope-
rated twenty-six extra trains Of ten
cars each between Hudson and Harlem
river points to the Grand Central sta
tion. The sixty thousand extra pas
sengers carried on these trains in adj
dition to the regular traffic. caused
an unprecedented congestion at the
great terminal.
More than 5000 policemen guarded
the company's property and endeavored
to control the tide of humanity sweep
ing through the streets. Notwfth-
standing the confusion, there was but
little disorder.
The only subway In, operation in
was the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit line from seth street to the
downtown district
The city operated several motor bus
lines, charging a ten cent fare, but
private buses. trucks and motors
charged from so cents to one dollar.

to take in reconstruction, and many
other questions. The committee today
heard its first direct accounting of
the Shantung negotiations from
Thomas F. Millard, an American
writer who acted as adviser to the
Chinese peace delegation. He said the
settlement was reached after the
Japanese virtually threatened to bolt
the conference, but added that Presi-

ering the threat more than pure
bluff"
All American experts on far east
ern affairs at Versailles, Millard de-
clared. agreed that the settlement
meant war. He said he had heard n
similar settlement was expressed by
General Bliss in the letter to the
president. which he later declined to
send to the senate as a matter of
public policy. He asserted the United
States could not avoid being drawn
into such.

MASS MEETING
FOR ELECTION
PLANS CALLED
Advocates of .Aldermanic
Form of Government to Meet
At Court House and Dis

Citizens of Pensacola will probably
answer the refusal made yesterday by

opinion of men who are behind the
move for a change in the form of

test at the polls would decide.
night, at s o'clock, at the court house
will be in the nature of a def to the
city commissioners and City Attorney
Jones, upon whose advice they are
acting. The city board stresses the
fact that they are working for the
best interests of the public and look
ing out for the general welfare.
Filing of second certification with
the board by James Macgibbon, clerk
of the circuit court. brought forth
resolution which denies the election
call. The city attorney has declared
the first certification illegal. as the
statement was not made that the '.re-
quired" number OF qualied voters had
signed the petition. and that the ad-
dresses were not given. This was
rectified.
Mr.. Jones bases his first grounds
for reasonable objections to the petit
tion and certification on the precedent
set by the Florida supreme court A
later coincident opinion of the Jack
sonville city attorney confirmed him
in his belief, Mr.. Jones stated yes
terday that he believes the slowest
policy best, and that 1t was better to
have no doubt of the legality of the
before calling an cleo
tion.
The following is the resolution of
refusal drafted and unanimously
adopted by the city commission at
their weekly meeting yesterday:
Be 1t Resolved by the Board OF Com
missioners OF the City of Pensa-
cola:

tificate of James Macgibbon. clerk of

In the opinion rendered by the city
attorney, does not consider that it is
