on the Hig Consolidated street railway lines by a commute cf that body was defeated When the previous strike was a month ago and agreement between the company and the strikers was brought about a special committee of the council the provided for the taking buck of a certain percentage of the old men fur the retention of a curtain of the new men and for ihc loyal treat ment of the company and the new mcs by the old men who were taken back the present strike was rated it was charged that the agree ment had been violated by the com pany and on the other band the com pany charged that the men had not been loyal to it or tothe It was the purpose of the commit tee of the council tonight to authorize that committee to institute a investigation of the present strike by subpoenaing witnesses and sending for books and papers to tain whether tho agreement bad been lived up to and to inform the public where the blame for the strike lay Mayor Farley opposed the proposed action in a vigorous speech in which he declared that the appointment of the special committee would interfere with the plans of the executive for the crushing out of disorder He said the only result could be to keep alive the agitation and that no good purpose would be served In time of peace he declared prepare for war but when you have war the best thing to do is to bring about peace but that cant he done by keeping up the agita tion which caused the war This seems to he a good time for everybody to mind his own business Several of the councilmen favored the of the committee but when the resolution came to a vote it was lost Many of the strike sympathizers have been very bitter toward Mayor Farley In public meetings fney have charged him with responsibility for the pres ent troubles and threats against his life have been made This had led him to provide a guard for his residence on Euclid avenue and detectives watch tho house every night The presence of the troops has had a depressing effect
