up and from the'pnsent indications
the chances for an early settlement
of the strike are vei) sligtbt.. The
tie is being keenly felt by the
epople throughout tbe 'city, busi
ness is Beginning to suffer from the
lack ol proQ>er surface) transporta
tion.
The mayor in co-operation with
the public service commission bas
announced thai he will take a hand
in the matter. So ' far
the union men employed on
'he elevated and sulWterranean
systems are at work and nothing
bu< rumor can be found to ffustaai
tiate tbe report that they -would
walk out.
A meeting be'wecn the 'officiate
of the eurfaoe lines and laibor lead
ers was held Saturday afternoon.-At
the beginning it lovlred as If poe
siblt a settlement of a 'temporary
nature would be perfected but the
surface officials he'd firm and re
fused to grant th? demands of the
labor men. Now pTWpects are
doubtful for tbe Immediate settle
ment. - '
