MAY COMPROMISE WITH COMPANIES Several members of the council were reported to be considering « compromise with the traction lines along these lines; “Reduce your fares from 8 cents to 7 cents and we'll bar the jitneys.” Spokane’s street car problem for Many years has been one of the most baffling in the United States, The city has suffercd from the cut- throat competition of two car sys tems, which practically duplicate council other are forced to pay two fares, inasmuch as each rival company re fuses to give transfers to the other.

But when recently the com Panies succeeded in winning an order from the -public service commission to ralse their fares to 8 cents, the storm broke, It was then the city council voted to permit the jitneys to return to Spokane’s streets.

O'SULLIVAN DENVER, Colo., June 25.—Samuel Gompers, overcoming bitter opposi- tion, was re-elected president of the American Federation of Labor today for his 40th term. The veteran labor leader won over John 1. Lewis, of the coal miners’ union, who put up a strenuous fight for leadership. Lewis was unable to overcome the handicap of the strong sentimental hold which Gompers obtained on the |labor movement by nearly two score years of administration.
