Continuing. ' he pointed out the fact that the causqfl . nf the failure of Iha strlfctUa.JUtoUg.fA, cue. to notices, announcing; toe move, . which were sent out several weeks be- xorehand. : ""A ey in pathetic strike -would be play to the interests of the corpora. tlona. because it would sap the strut erg of their means of support. So long as a major part of the working men and union men are employed, the strik ing workmea-caa. be cared. or,he said. In concluding his remark he added r "Do not resort to violence. Violence never gained anything and only injures toe cause. - Stand pat, and work earn i. estly to convert every faltering carman to the cause of unionism." The meeting last night was an en ' thuslastlo one from the ' start. : Fully 400 crowded into the hall Inside of. It ' minute, listened quietly to the im promptu speeches- and cheered lustily the sentiments expressed.

The latter favored a sympathetic strike ' and urged the workingmen to uee thPlr . prerogative at the polls for furthering . their own Interests, .x McDonald Kakea Address.' .' P. McDonald was ehosen speaker in charge for the evening and he presided ' at the speaker's table, which was drawn to the. center of the dancing halt - He, too, spoke of the suddenness with which ;the strike movement had been inaugu rated, but waa firm In his belief that this way was the only one which would bring success to the movement. ' : lie went into details concerning the situa tion and declared that the strike was certain to end in success. . "The public is with us," he argued, "and wilt con tinue to be.". .' It G. Parsons spoke bitterly against . the practice of the streetcar companies in photographing their platform em ployes, ' and referred to it - as being parallel to and inferring as much as the same practice which is in vogue at the police stations in making negatives j(v the rogue's gallery. He believed the atreetcar-meif-ahogltt' tmpreas the- paly llo with the earnestness of their' move ment and stand to win. .. ..'v . -" Other speakers of the evening were Conductors Moahler' and Fisher and Fred. Merrill. The keynote, of the tet ter's address waa diplomacy which, be i' sale.-etwuld -rale-every-move-maae DI the carmen in their efforts to bring success to their strike. . - ,- . .Immediately after adjournment was taken at Merrill's hall, the major part of the streetcar men went to Drew hall to attend a socret meeting which was held - there at 10 o'clock. About 27i carmen attended the meeting, where It waa practically decided that the strike should be arbitrated 1f the terms were put Into the bands of a body of competent citizens. . If the strikers were obliged, however, to deal directly with the company they declared they would, refuse to . compromise on any point. The meeting at Drew hall last night was hi reality -a continuation of the secret meeting which began there last Bunday night. All day yesterday there were carmen, union members and strike sympathisers . congregated - about the rooms. . .. . i .. STRUGGLE TO SECURE . . POSSESSION OF HEIRESS ' (Joaraal Bpeelal Serrlea.)
