To the Public: My attention has been called to the fact that my atti tude in regard to the settlement of the recent street car strike in our city is misunderstood; and, therefore, 1 de sire tcTmake this statement, that there may be no reasonable ground for mis understanding me or by attitude. I had no knowledge of ..the strike, or the cause leading up to the strike, until July 5th, when I , unexpectedly found myself in the midst of it while trying to reach my-home on the Beach, af ter attending a Brotherhood 1 Meet ing at the Church. I was unable to reach home at all, during that night, but had an excel lent ppportunity, while mingling wih the crowd, to hear from a sympathetic standpoint what the car men regarded as their grievances. Early on the morning of July 6th I began to confer with a few friends, with a view to securing some adjust ment of the difficulty, which I realized was very serious much more serious than many of. our citizens seem even now to realize. The chief difficulty that presented itself was how to reach a settlement that would secure positions for all the men, because the Tidewater Power Company, granting the inens' right to quit, declined to take them back on any terms. After a committee of ten was au thorized by Council, as requested by our committee, I was made chairman, and I can confidently appeal to the other members of the Committee, in cluding two Union men,, and to Mr. MacRae, with whom I conducted all the negotiations, to prove that 1 used every effort at my command to secure every advantage for the men on strike that seemed honorable and, right, and I went from the men to Mr. MacRae, in every case asking for new conces sions from the Company, until I felt embarrassed, because several times the concessions secured were repudiat ed after I had been given every rea son to believe that they would be ac ceptable to the men . I1 was unable, with all the aid of a strong and remarkably faithful com mittee, to secure a recognition of the Union,. because the Union was felt to have acted unwisely in calling the strike a fact that was acknowledged by Mr. Commons before the commit tee and by the car men, in writing, when asking to be taken back. But while the committee failed to secure a recognition of the Union,' I did secure from Mr. MacRae an agree ment that he would, not raise the ques tion of the existence of the Union, un less it was used against the company, and this agreement was accepted by Mr. Commons and by the men, on his recommendation, as satisfactory; and in order to secure this concession I agreed to use my influence and the influence of the committee to carry out the terms of the agreement. It is very likely that less was se- ment that shall lie mutually satisfac tory!. ; : : - ' ' " - In our . efforts to get ; all the; men reinstated, and on, the most " favorable terms, we pledged our committee to! see; that the men gave loyal support, ' which they;, promised in writing, and j we pledged th company to deal .fairly) with the men-r-a pledge which Mr. j MacRae endorsed by leaving all mat-1 ter s affecting the rights of the1 men j in tne nanas or the Citizens' commit tee or its chairman, for a period of two years, binding his company to abide by our decisions, and the men accepted this agreement when they asked to go back on the terms" set forth in Mr. MacRae's letter to me; becoming thufi morally bound with the company. to submit all differences to the commit tee, for a period of two years. We promised Mr. MacRae, as one condition, of the settlement, that we would give him an opportunity of dis cussing the policies of his company, with a representative committee of one hundred citizens, who might make' a report to the public the nature of J the report being left entirely io the! judgment of the committee, after, in vestigating the facts. . In keeping with this promise, which we made in good faith, a committee! was selected, none of whom was named' by me, as I was in conference with.the men at the time, explaining the terms of the written agreement under which they were returning to work. This 'committee of one hundred ap pointed a sub-committee of nine, to Tnvestlgate certain matters arid report back to the committee, and I was chos en as chairman . One of the matters referred to this committee was the one-man car opera tion; and because we were making a thorough and, we believe, impartial in vestigation, and because the petition from the Trades Council seemed to violate the conditions of our settle ment, inasmuch as they stated the ground of their petition to be, in part at least, tne .protection ot tne car men, and inasmuch as all differences Detween tne company and the , men j were to be referred to our committee j for- adjustment, I appeared publicly j ana asked that action be deferred, before Council and stated this fact without prejudice, until we could in vestigate and make report upon the matters referred to us, especially in reference to the one-man operation of cars, leaving our facts with them for final action. wnen l learned that council was. anxious to take a vote; although: our investigation was incomplete, since we had heard from only 34 of the 47 places to which letters have been sent, I wrote Mr. Jones, chairman of A. - . ..

When finally Council voted, to take final action on August 28th, I called a meeting of our sub committee, to , hear what we had learned and invited the counciimanic committee to be pre: sent and hear read all our-correspondence, which we were reading for the first time before our own committee, and we left the entire correspondence !-lt By the V appearance 'of ,.your stationery is reflected the char acter of your business.

I believe in the high est wages for labor in return for the best service that a good workman can give, and I feel very sure, that these should be such adjustment between capital and labor, that 'a fair portion shall go to the men who labor, with' hands or bralnsx to produce-wealth'; and that there should be time' enougV left from ' toil, for, the cultiyation of the worker's mind and soul and the enjoyment of his family,, and friends in an adequafe sppial intercourse; arid T believe . that any social order is . a failure, when any portlbn of .the nor mal citizenship is unable to ' make living wage from honest toil."'
