No Agreement Reached in Charleston Street Car Strike
A special Charleston council meeting failed to reach a settlement between the Kanawha Valley Traction Company and striking employees. Mayor Holley proposed arbitration with a three-member panel and an umpire, while a substitute plan urged a three-person committee to negotiate with both sides. After hours of discussion the conference adjourned without a resolution, noting no further meetings are planned.
