Illinois Aibittation Board Plans to Assist in Settling Chicago Street Cat Strike HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH LXXXIV— No. 138 CHICAGO STREET GAR STRIKE CONTINUES Early Morning Crowds Fill the Suburban Trains to Their Capacity 30 MEN RIDE ON TENDER Woman Leaving Car After Learn ing of Strike, Gets Place in Furniture Van By Associated Press Chicago. 111., June 15.—A burst of real June sunshine cheered the army of Chlcagoans who went to their occu pations to-day in automobiles, vans, delivery wagons and on foot. The suburban service of the steam railroads, \ipon which an unprece dented burden was thrust by the street car strike yesterday, provided more accommodations to-day, and the car nival spirit which was not crushed by the cold, drizzling rain of yesterday was still in evidence. At the Gross Park station of the Chicago and Northwestern a large crowd which had been unable to ob tain a foothold on earlier trains or even to buy tickets broke through a barbed wire fence onto the station platform and swarmed on the train. Thirty men found seats in the coal tender and ten more in the engine cab, on the running boards and the cow catcher. It was all done good naturedly and accepted by the train crew In the same humor. All of these trains, except the earlier ones, were thu sovercrowded. Elevated trains at thus overcrowded. Elevted trains at nalt. started out at 9 o'clock with de tectives, but few passengers, aboard. It was stated that an attempt to main tain a flfteen-minute schedule would be made unUl nightfall. No disorder attended the starting of the trains. Xo Attempt to Run Cars No attempts to run surface cars were made early, nor were any prom ised. Strikers congregated in an or derly manner at the barns and termi nals. At one of the terminals on the North Side Jitney buses were numerous and well patronized. In Milwaukee avenue, which runs through a congested district, there were several fights among men crowd ing to get into the jitneys or other vehicles, but none was serious. No definite promise of peace was in sight. Interest, however, was felt in the possibilities of mediation by the aldermanic committee appointed last night and the renewal of efforts at conciliation by the State board of rrWtration. A woman who did not know there wa* a strike was the first one to enter the second train leading the Wilson avenue terminal of the Northwestern Elevated. Reporters asked her her name and destination. "My goodness' What's the matter? Everybody looks at one so. Is every body erajsy?" she replied. The sit uation was explained and she left the car and found a seat in a furniture van.
