WAGE IS COMPROMISE ‘Toronto, June 27. Toronto‘s four day street railway strike came to an end at 6 o‘clock this morning, _ when the cars were again put in _ cOmmI® sion, manned by the employees of he Toronto Rallway Company. who had been "out" since 4.33 last Wednesday morning. â€" The offer of the Ontario Railway and Municipal Board, made to the men last Friday afternoon, of & maximum wage of 69 cents an hour, an Increase of five cents, was accept eJ at a mass meeting of the men last night after about an hour‘s considera: tion. The position of the Toronto Railway Company in the matter of the increase in pay is not yet definitely known, but it is understood that the company will wccept the situation and miake the best of what it may regard as a bau bargain. . Manager Fleming, of the company, is out of the city. Some 0. the offcials, it is said, have intimateu that the company will pay the _ addt Honal five cents an hour tmposed by the Ontarioâ€" Railway and â€" Muntcipa« Board, and say no more about the matter. The "Suggestion." When the Railway Board on Friday "suggested" that the company tnâ€" crease the men‘s wages by five cents an hour, it was understood that this was practically an order, angd that If the men accepted the increase | they should resume the operation Of _ tae cars, whether the company agreed to pay the additional wage or not.. If the company agreed, all right; if now, the railway board wou!ld step in anu opcrate the cars and pay the men 69 cents an hour. . HMowever, there seemâ€" «l to be a tacit _ understanding that ed to be a tacit unde the company would act suggestion. There had been no meeting of the directors of the Toronto Railway Company since Friday, so far as the public knows. Jt is probable that a meeting will be held early this ween, when the situation will be discussed and the company‘s _ decision made known. The street railway men at first deâ€" manded 85 cents an hour, an increase of 34 centk an hour. A board of cou eilation refused ty give them any inâ€" cerase in pay, and recommended thay they contiime at 55 cents an tour unâ€" til the company‘s franchise expires, Angust 31, 1991.. The men‘s represenâ€" tative on the board, T. J. Vick, at first signed this award, Iut subsequently made a minority report, in which he favored paying the men 66 cents an hour. It ‘was on the company‘s refus= al to pay 66 cents that the men wenw on strike, It is estimated that the T()l‘nm Railway «Company‘s employees lo#g $10,000 in wages during the strlke, and the company about $90,000 in far The increase of five cents an.ho«. in the men‘s pay. will cost the _ _comâ€" piny, it is estimated, about $375,000 up to the time its franchise exptres, _ the end of August, 1921 Paris Lady A tram of lady golfers from Paris were the guests of the ladies of the Grand River Country Club on Friday afternoon.

The _ result of their reâ€" fusal was that they were told to go to the office and receive their checks and were pald off. | The whole affair has been reportâ€" lml to Ottawa ,and it is expected that |an order will be issued which will ;ralieve the nurses from thea objecâ€" tional work in the dict kitchen. Some of the patients who were in sympathy with the nurses started to cause a little trouble, but they didnt‘ get any |encouragement, and things are runâ€" [ning smoothly at present. This left the hospital with but two nurses, Matron Weld and another whose brother is & patient there with little hope o frecovery. No time was lost in sending out for more nurses, and twelve arrived last night, coming from London, Toronto and Kingston, and more are expected before toâ€"morâ€" row. The trouble in connection with the diet kitchen has been brewing for some time past, the nurses objecting very strongly to being compelled to do this work. Dr. Alexander, Chief Medical Officer of Military District No. 1, came here on Friday, and after «a consultayion with Dr, Urlie and Matron Weld, a compromise was efâ€" fected which was satisfactory to the nurses, but was contingent upon the reinstatement of Miss Pollock. This, however was not conceded, the offiâ€" clals claiming that she had disobeyâ€" ed orders and they could not take her back. The â€" majority of the nurses left for their homes on Satâ€" urday afternoon, and will not come back. The patients at the hospital were inconvenienced to some extent durâ€" ing the day, but the orderlies, many of whom are trained men, were of great assistance, and the bed patients were not neglected in any way. Palmerston Toronto, June 25.â€" Dr. R. C. Bla grave has cause to believe that one woman sterday afternoon was curâ€" et Whe!l‘allll}fl M. Hickson, the faith healer, laid his hands upon her. It was at St. Marks Church on Cowan avenue. A little group of &4 people had gathered there in secret by appointment. They were princi pally outâ€"ofâ€"the city cases. "They were mostly cripples," sanl Dr. Blagrave â€" today, | "sufferers for years, who gathered there in prayer. In spite of the secrecy, however, some others heard of the meeting and got in. The woman who was cured had come from Palmerston. She was carâ€" ried into the church by three men She said she had not walked for three years. 1 think it was rheumatism. Saw Her Walk. "I saw her walk out with only two people attempting to aid her, hardly belteving by their actions that it was possible that she could walk unaided. Jt gave me a thrill. I believe that all the sufferers would be better for it." Again toâ€"day thousands of peopl>, sick and maimed, some hobbling and others carried by friends,, thronged through the doors of St. James Cathe dral to hear the prayers and feel the hand touch of Hickson, whose servi ces are sanctioned by the Anglican Church. There was a noficeable increase in the number of soldier invalids in the crowd â€" to day, also _ of _ unfortunate children, and to these classes Mr Hickson gave special atention. . This was the healer‘s last day in Toronto, and he held conferences with clergyâ€" men here regarding the stablishment of a "clinic of religtous healing," ns the greater extension of the Gospe? of Jesus Christ as A power through faith. of alleviating physical suffering and weakness. _____ s s Aged Woman is Victim of Tragic Elevator Accident Guelph, June 26.â€" Mrs. E.
