DAVENPORT CAR
STRIKE SETTLED
Davenport Council to Grant Same
Fares As Companies Are Allowed in
Illinois Cities-Men Get Maximum
Of Sixty Cents an Hour-cars Run
Today.

Davenport. Aug. 6-At a joint meet
ing Of mayors and aldermen or Jne
cities of Davenport, Rock Island and
Moline the officials Of the Tri- City
Railway Company and representatives
of the union. an agreement was reach
ed at 1 o'clock this morning whereby
the street car tieup In the three cities
and also connecting interurbans was
settled. The cars were running at noon
today. The bone of contention has
been the action of the Davenport city
council refusing to grant the company
on increased fare. At last nights
meeting the position was changed in
this respect.
Under the new arrangement the
Davenport council pledges itself to
grant the company the same fare in
Davenport that the Illinois public
utilities commission allows it in the
Illinois cities. 1t will require thirty days
time to change the price OF the fare by
ordinance. In the meantime the COM
pany agrees to operate on the present
S. cent fare. The men are to receive
a maximum scale Of so cents an hour.
