Street Car Strike Near Settlement As Contract Dispute Persists
Chicago November 24 A Chicago strike stalemate persists as the executive committees fail to agree on a minor contract point. The main issue involves whether workers will be rehired in their old positions and if the employer will retain a new hire since the strike began. Attorney Darrow and President Mahon pressed for terms agreed with Colonel Bliss, but the committees held firm. Mayor Harrison and a mediation panel urged a swift end, hoping the dispute could be settled by tomorrow morning.
