STREET MB STRIKE:
GRIPS WASHINGTON :
WASHINGTON’, D. C., March 6 t
Many thousands of government em- t
ployees and others walked to their
work this morning, the street car ser- t
vice here having been reduced to t
about twenty-five per cent, of normal t
by the strike inaugurated Saturday
night. Employees of both companies
f
operating in Washington are coiyjern
ed in the trouble.
The men demand a minimum of 30 (
cents an hour, with ten out of twelve I
f
consecutive working hours. This
would make a minimum wage of $3 a
day for regular employees. One of the t
companies now pays 22 1-2 cents an e
hour, while the other pays 25 cents 1
an hour, neither giving a specified
number of working hours during the (
twelve-hour day in force. j
Every available motor vehicle, as '
well as horses and buggies were press- <
ed into service today to help move the
traffic uusually handled on the cars.
Many “jitneys” brought from Baltimore
materially aided in relieving conges
tion during busy hours. 1
Conference between strike leaders,
the district commissioners and repre
(
sentatives of the department of labor (
continued throughout last night, but .
no agreement had been reached this
morning. The hope was expressed,
however, that an amicable understand- 1
ing would be reached between the car _
companies and their employees during
today. No violence has occurred.
