CHICAGO, Aug. 8.—Charles Evans Hughes is out-Roosevelting Roose- velt in the strenuosity of campaign- ing. Arriving here to-day, the Repub- Nean nominee was fresh as a daisy after a day in Detroit that kept him on the jump in fiercely hot weather from Y morn to late at night, in- cluded six speeches and a breakneck bit of auto speeding around the town, Moreover, Hughes seemed likely to-day to achieve a new record in Chicago for stumpers, Only one speech was scheduled~at the Coliseum to-night where back in June the G. O. P. selected him as its candidate—but the nominte has had to straighten out a@ slightly tangled up factional muss between Republl- cans In Illinois, and is expected to put the seal of approval on a number of campaigh measures for the West- ern fight formulated by National Chairman Willcox and it seems likely he will have @ good deal of hand- shaking to do.

Facts About the Car Strike All existing surtuce car steikes were declared bettied at neen to-day, when it was announced at City Hall that officisls of the New York and Queens County, Staten Island and Second Avenue lines had accepted the agreement adopted last night by the Green Car and Third Avenue systems. Blows were exchanged at a ratification meeting of $00 strikers when organizers were challenged to show that the peace agreement benefitted the men. On Staten Island a new feature was injected into the trouble when the strike-breakers struck because they were not permitted to pick out profitable runs. Only eleven cars were in operation there and some disorder was reported. Trolley service in Manhattan, the Bronx and Westchester was rapidly getting back to normal and the army of police on strike duty went back to the three-platoon system. The work of organizing the men of the subway and elevated and B. R. T. lines was being rushed, according to labor leaders. B. R. T. employes received a letter to-day from President T. S. Williams, granting them an increase in wages, a modification of their “swing: and permission to select, by secret ballot, members of committees to treat with the company's officers in case of grievances. All troublesome differences between the surface car lines of Man- hattan, the Bronx, Queens and Richmond were put on the way to peace- ful adjustment to-day. The signatures of the executives and directors f the Second Avenue, Queens and Staten Island lines were added to nose of the New York Railways and Third Avenus systems, attached Meetings of motormer aid conductors of the lines accepting the terms voted to return to work at once. With but slight confusion service was resumed all over the clty. he policemen who had been guarding barns and cars were withdrawn nd returned to their regular duties. Labor leaders declared the unlonizing of the subway and elevated ines and the B. R. T. surface lines is going forward rapidly, but demands, there are any following the organization of the union on those lines, re not to be presented until arbitration proceedings on the lines which re a party to the present settlement have been worked out.
