The Street-Car Strike in San Francisco.
THE street-car strike that has been in progress in San Francisco since May 5, is declared by the carmen to be still in progress, but within the last few days they have removed the boycott, saying that it is all right for union men to ride on the cars. They say they are doing this in order to test the assertion that the company has so persistently made that they could handle the business with their non-union men if they could only be let alone. During the progress of the strike four persons were killed and 252 are known to have been wounded. 3,529 car-windows were broken, besides other damage to property. And while this has been going on in the Metropolis of the West, other strikes of a more or less serious character have been in progress in various parts of the East and South, and also quite numerous in the Old World as well.
