carmen this morning voted to reject all
overtures of the street car companies,

Twelve hundred men rising to their
feet voiced their approval of the unti

but the original demands of the Union.

to accept the Union offer to return to
work for $5 per day and arbitrate the
question of hours, did not materialize.
The company ignored the meeting alto
gether. The efforts of.Mayor Schmitz to
bring the parties to the si r f a together has
failed so far entirely. The united railroads
continue thair preparations to house Far

some time Sunday. It is freely predicted
that the arrival will be signal for an out
break of violence.
