PITTSBURGH, Pa, May TO-
With no street cars operating here
since midnight, hundreds of thous

rode in automobiles to work follow

The strike call was issued after
ten days Of negotiations between
Union officials; the company and
city mediators had failed to reach
an adjustment of the mems demands
for an increase fIDm 81 cents to
rs and II cents an hour. Union
men declared they had offered tC
compromise for 20 cents an hour
at one stage of the negotiations
but the offer was refused.
No Disorder Feared.
Although no disorder was antici
pated in connection with the strike,
all relief days of city policemen
have been cancelled, and extra shifts
placed on duty in the vicinity Of
every car barn.
Practically all passenger automo
biles and trucks in Pittsburgh were
called into service to haul workers
to their places of business, and ap
parently little inconvenience was
caused by the strike. Hundreds o!
'firms-large and small - owning
trucks, were prepared for the walk
out, and had their trucks out to pick
up employees. In addition to regula,
bus lines, improvised service was
started by large and small passen

passengers, kept their old prices II

Revenue Bureau, and Lewis ].

tax fraud cases in Washington and
other cities. He has caused the
