TORONTO STRIKE
Serious Setback for Labor
Leaders Who Seek
General Tie-up.

Toronto. Can. June AFTER a
prolonged session lasting until 8
o'clock this morning. Toronto
street railway employees decided not
to participate in the general strike.
The decision is regarded as a seri-
ous setback for the labor leaders,
who were counting heavily on
paralyzing industry by tieing up
transportation. Strike morale seems
to be ebbing and the general feel
ing today is that the strike in To-
ronto will be shortlived
Attendance at the general meet
ing of strikers and strike sympa-
thiztrs was noticeably smaller than
those held the last few days. The
fact that absentees were liable TO
"a fine did not deter many from re-
manning away.
The situation among the fremen
remains unchanged. An emergency
meeting of the city council mas
been called for tomorrow. to con-
slider the recent ultimatum of the
fremen to strike Tuesday IL a wage
increase is not forthcoming before
that date.

TEXTILE STRIKE

One MIL Starts Today, and
Labor Leaders Believe
Trouble Is Over.

Charlotte. N. c.. June 1.-The pros
poets were good for a complete set
tlement OF the local textile strike,
and the return Of all strikers to
work tomorrow morning.
Union employees consent to work
with nonunion men. under what has
been termed a "gentlemen's agree
ment," from which it is inferred
that the unions hope eventually to
gain complete control.
The Chadwick Hoskins mills will
start UP tomorrow. but at the Park
Mills, where the strike has been In
progress for two months, there still
remains a possibility of further
rupture. Labor leaders. however.
are optimistic of gaining complete
understanding within the next thir-
ty-six hours. and returning to work.
Gov. Bickett's announced intention
to send militia reserves to take
charge of the situation, IL conditions
should later warrant 1t. has had
some effect in bringing employers
and employees together, it is believed
here.
