STRIKE SETTLED
Fort Wayne Streetcar Men Gain Their Point.
Fort Wayne, June 5.—The streetcar trouble ended in practically a complete victory for the strikers. The sheriff appointed 50 of the most prominent citizens of the city deputy sheriffs. An arbitration committee was formed, and the president of the railroad and the president of the union met together on a common footing. The agreement was soon reached. The men go back to work in a body without prejudice.
The advance wages demanded are conceded. The union received quasi recognition, and the men on their part waive a minor part as a concession. They were complete masters of the situation. The first car was decorated with flags, and it was cheered to the echo along the route. Everybody was well satisfied with the settlement.
