SETTLEMENT OF CAR STRIKE IS SEEN SATURDAY
Union Leaders and Street Railway Heads Believe Ref' erendum Will End Walkout, (By Associated Press) CHICAGO. July 31 Toiling Chicago today found cheer in the prospect that the street car strike might end soon and that by Saturday morning workers could again ride on elevated and surface cars. So the thousands whovhave come down town on trucks, in automobiles or by their own motive power and gone home' as best they could bore good humoredly ihe inconvenience forced upon them by the paralysis of transportation lines. Possibility of the near solution of the strike came with the announcement that the fifteen thousand supface and elevated men on strike since last Tuesday morning would ballot tomorrow morning on whether to accept the wage scale agreed upon last
Monday by tjieir representatives and;
those of the companies and rejected the same night at a mass meeting of 6,000 carmen. The plan of the union leaders for a referendum vote of the entire union membership met the approval of E. D. Mahon, International president of the Gairaen's union on his arrival from Detroit and immediate preparations for balloting were begun. It was found the printing of ballots and preparation for taking of the vote would consume much of today, and therefore Friday from 8 a. m. to 4 p. m. was fixed for the balloting. May Increase Fares. The meeting at which the compromise wage schedule of 65 cents an hour for surface men and 67 for elevated with an eight hour day and over-time of time and a half was rejected by a vive voce vote was not representative, the leaders claimed. They asserted the meeting had been dominated by the radical element of the union membership and that the conservative element had been given no opportunity to express itself. . On these representations International President Mahon ordered the referendum vote which may result in acceptance of the new wage schedule and put an end to the strike. Mr. Mahon and Ir. Quinlan. president of the surface men's division of the union, and William Rylan, president of the elevated division stated today that they were confident elevated and surface trains would be running again on Saturday morning.

More Americans Should Own Their Own Homes
now!
U. S. Dept. of Labor W. B. Wilson, Secretary. Sorilewhere in the heart of every man is the desire to be INDEPENDENT. IndepencU ence is the measure of one's standing in the community.. The first step along the road to independence is to own one's home. The man who owns his own home is the respected, the trusted man in eiery community. One of the largest employers of labor in the country ordered a canvass of his factories to determine what percentage of his employees owned their own homes. At the same time he urged all employees in the establishment to become home owners or home buyers. Sound logic prompted this action. The responsible man is the valuable employee. The HOME OWNER has a deeper sense of civic pride. He is established; he is res
ponsible ; he is interested in everything that tends toward the peace and security and upbuilding of the community. The example set by one manufacturer will be followed by others. It will daily become more requisite to a man's securing responsible employment that he Owns His Own Home. There is little excuse for a man not owning his own home. The great Liberty Loans have instilled into the American people lessons of thrift that will endure through the coming days of peace. Every man can and should own his own home. There is no appeal from the man who seeks a position that is treated so lightly, by private and public employer alike, as the appeal which comes from the man who has everything to gain and nothing to lose. The INDEPENDENT MAN always Owns His Own Home BUILD YOURS NOW.
