Car Tie.Up Probable.

Special to Times Republican
Dubuque, May 10.-Al hopes OF
avoiding a tie-up of street car service
here faded yesterday when President
c. C. Mead of the carmen's union de-
clared ,emphatically that the men could
not live on the wages now being paid
and officials Of the company an
nounced that they could not meet the
demands Of the men. The workers
have already voted In favor Of strike
altho no time has been decided upon
It is believed, however. that the men
will mark time until Monday or Tues
day.
If the street car men walk crt now
it will be the second tie-up within a
year. Last spring the men walked out
and after several days>on strike agreed
to a proposition to submit their differ
ences to a board of arbitration. 1t ap-
pears that no definite agreement was
ever reached.
