The Terms of Settlement Between Ihe Strikers and Railroad Officials Not Made Public. The Strikers, with Great Jubilating, Re- turn to Wotk and Trains Begin To Move Instanter. The Sliver Lining. Cuicago, April :!3. At a conference held last night at tho office of President Newell, of tbo Lake Shore road. Sheriff Hanebttt, J. P. Wright, Coumiissionir .McCarthy, Pliny Smitb, RsilroMl Alloinev Sells Mor- ris and Grand .Master .Monnghan, of tbo Switchmen's Protective of the United States, were present- - Tb confer- ence was held with lotked door, and no di- rect information can be voudiscltU its to the outcome of the proceeding. It is said toslay tbat n tvaa discussed permitting the men to reume work for sixty days, during which period it W3J hoped that the existing difOciiItiea could bo adjusted by arbitration. The strikers beld a meeting last niht, at which a number of imported switchmen were present. They nerted that they wcro regular snitchmen for the company, and tbat they wero forced to come hero or loso their placo. It was alio said tbat twenty-tiv- o ol them would not work nny longer for the company. l!y 7:C0 this morning almost all tho strik- ers were on band at the Lake Shoro railroad yards, discussing the situation and prospects lor tho day. It was generally thought that any attempt tho company might make would be abortho as in mero confidenco that none of tho engineers would move tho locomotives out of tbo round hotifo jard. At 8 o'iock tbo crowd had grown much larger. As usual, it is composed of idle, curiosity seekers. Uy 9 o'clock the crowd had received large additions, but contented themselves with waiting for something to turn up. Presi- dent Newell and other officials ol the Lko Shoro road held a consultation with Sheriff llanchet this morning, but tbo result did not transpire. It was reported that the striking switch- men had mado overtures for a settlement of the existing trouble. Several of their rep- resentatives aro in consultation with the railroad officials. Kvcrytbing is quiet at tho j ards at this hour II a. m. General .Manager Xewell, Messrs. Am-de- n, 'Wright and lilodgc.lt wero in tbo for- mer's office for over three hours this morn- ing, but their deliberations were not di- vulged. In general it was stated that tbo company renewed its determination to sur- render nono of its positions. Tho strikers arrested yesterday appeared in court this morning, but tbo bearing was pattpor.cil until 12 M. An important consultation is now in progress between the officials of the road, the sheriff and a representative of tbo strik- ers. It is ascertained from official sources that a definite decision will be reached by .T o'clock this afternoon. LATER. The switchmen' strike on tho Lake Shore railway is at an end. An order has just been issued by tho chairman of the commit- tee, directing tho switchmen to report at the Forty-thir- d street yard. The old mon go bacK to work at thcirown rcijuert, with- out any stipulation whatever on tbo part of the road. Kigbt non-unio- n men return to work along with the union men previous to the strike. An order'for tho men to return to work was telegraphed from the general offico of IheLake Shoro campany at 1:33 p. m., and within ten minutes switch engines began leaving tbo round houo and the making up of trains begun. Tbo blockade completely ended thii afternoon. A number of striking switchmen at the ard declare tho hake bhoro officials agreed on their part to dispose of the 8 non-unio- n men in somo manner within tho next six months by placing tbcm in some other de- partment or otherwise carcing for them; in any event to take them away from the yards where they aro at prercnt working. At 3 o'clock an engine pulled out of tho round bouo manned oy a crew of strikers. There is a general shaking of bands and congratulatiug among tho men and every- body seems pleased. MUX LATEK. Cmciao, April 2J. When tho strike ended tbo miction whether it waj the result of a capitulation on the part of the strikers or whether tho company has acceded to tbo demands of the men was perfectly a matter of conjecture. Uoth sides claimed tho vic- tory and there rested their case. They offered no explanation. Tho strikers and their friends were in u most jubilant frame of mind all day, and when tho torm of set- tlement were mado known at tbo secret meeting tbo men all cheered until the build- ing trembled. Tbo demeanor of tho officers was in marked contrast to tbat of the strikers. All of tho officers were gloomy and taciturn and repelled newspaper re porters who endeavored to elicit from them tbo basis of settlement. At 2.30 p. m. railroad officials at the Lako Shore depot received a disptch from the company's operator at Porty third street stating that the strikers all wanted to return to work. District Superintendent Atnsden replied by wire, if they did tbo eight men on whoso account tho strike was inaugur- ated, must be allowed to go to work with them, and soon after tho contents of Super-inrendt- nt Amsden's telegram was communi- cated to the strikers a dispatch was received from Chairman Stabl, of the strikers com- mittee, confirming the report that the strikers wanted to resume work, and that tho strike was at an end. The rejoicing w as general. The eight objectionable men weto at once ordered down to tbo yard w here tho strikers united in making up trains. Chairman Stabl was called on for tho basis of settlement and replied by displaying the following note: W II. stabl. Chairman If all tbo switchmen if the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern railroad in Chicago or Cook county return to work at once I will personally guarantee that within sixty days from this the tight objectionable switchmen will bo furnished other emlpoy-rae- nt and permanently removed from their present positions. (Signed) . I5v authority. "I am not at liberty to givo the nams of the man sinning this psptr," continued Mr. Stabl, "but it is genuine and fully sanctioned bv Mr. Newell. More than that it is sworn to." What about tho positions! They are all to bo dimied and the men will go back to work. Tbo company makes a complete capitulation. I would tell cu more, but my word is pledgee! and I cannot do so. Officers of the company .however, continue to assert they had not entered into any agreement, also tht they had cot autkof-iie- d anyone else to do so." In this connection, XeUon Morris, Tireii-dcr- .t of tbo Kairbank Canning cempanv, was seen at bis residence. He said, rogardins the basis cf settlement between tbo Lako Shore people and the employe. that ho was not at liberty to reveal anything, but the fact that the men had gone" to work and business had been resumed was luffirisai for his firm. They ship considerable freight via the Lake Shore road; in fact, tho bnlk of their stuff went via that route. The Fairbanks Can- ning company had contracts with teveral equipping, and these contracts mast b filled within a short period of time, and they could not afford to pile up their freight awaiting tho pleasure of some railroad offi- cers. The result was, a conference was held and an arrangement arrived at whereby work could be resumed. You can flatly contradict the statement to tho effect that tho Fairbanks company aro to find places for the 8 objectionable men. The inference, drawn from Mr. Fairbanks was thit such a pressure was brought to bear upon the Lake Shore company by tho packing company that they were compelled to sign an arrangement to make places for tho eight men within sixty days and this agreement chiinnan Stahl carries ia his pocket.

Another K. of L. Statement. New Kku.vswick, April 23. John W. Hayes, member of the general executive board, Knights of Labor, returned here last evening. Ho says no progress has been made towards a settlement of differences be- tween the strikers and tbo Gould system of railways. Tho cause is now, however, in such shape from which it is expected tbat tbo congressional committee, reaching St. Louis, and meets the citizens' committee, these two bodies may bo ablo to hit on some plan of settlement. Ho says tho reports sent out by tbo rail- ways tbat they aro handling all tbo freight they want every day aro untrue. Tbe rods are all blocked up, and what freight is run out coea out under the protection of deputy sheriffs and the militia. Tbe railways' claim, Hayes admits, tbat they havo now men to do all tbe work they have to do, w hich is very little, on account of the blockade. There have been, he says, 15,000 loaded cars standing in tbe yards for four weeks. Mr. Hayes fays tho shootinir of masses of innocent people by deputies was instigated by rail- way authorities. The Knights of Labor say they cannot get tbo help of tho state milit'a to run their trains, they therefore got together a gang of roughs, who brought on trouble, and the governor then ordered the militia on tho scene IIo further says that lawyers, employed by tbo Knights of Liabor, havo now in their possession ample evidenco to convict prominent officials of tbe Louisvilloand Nashvilh railway of in-- J slicnling this not. The whole spirit and intention of tbe or- der, says Mr. Hayes, is opposed to strikes and boycott", which have been brought on because of tbo want of laws to prevent them. An endeayor will be mad to pro-ve- nt in the future any such uprisings as are now progressing, without the authority of tho general assembly. Mr. Hayes goes to St. Louis this evening. Take Sugar In Thelr'n. Hc.vTEr.'s Pourr, April 23. Ten arrests of strikes, aggregated yesterday's riots, havo been made, three of tbem having been clubbed by police.

FORTY-NINT- H CONGRESS. House. Wasuixoton-- , April 22. The house met at II o'clock in continuation of yesterday's cession and immediately went into commit-te- e of the whole, Mr. Wellborn of Texas, in tho chair, on the river and harbor bill. Four hours the bill wa considered and some little progress made, and a few moments be- fore noon tbe committee rose and tho house adjourned and tho session of Friday opened. Tho president's message on the labor troubles having been read by the clerk, Mr. Springer of Illinois, moved the referenco tj the committee on labor with instructions for the committee to report upon it by bill or othorwiso. Mr. Bulterworth's motion was lost yeas 77, nays 147. Mr. Road of Main, regretted that there would be no opportunity t discuss tho message in committtee of'tbe whole. The result would havo been mom speedy and Uselul to legislation, than would be accom plished bvils reference to a standing com- mittee. Thero being SO minutes allowed under the rules Mr. Buttcrworlh secured the floor. The object of the motion to refer the message to tho committee of tho whole, he said, had been considered by some gentleman as unw ise because it would not be reached at an early day. Every gentle- man believed, or ought to believe, tbe mes- sage tbe president sent presented a question of "vast consequence to the country. It had been bis purpose if bis motion had prevailed to a'k unammou consent to fix an early day for consideration of this question with the hope and expectation that it might bo fairly considered, notwith a view of control- ling elections in November, but with a view to getting the right solution of this great problem. He wished the people could read what was passing in tbo minds cf their assembled legislators here, and segregate their desire to do what was best for tbo country from what was regarded as u mero expedient to catch votes. He protested, in tho name of American manhood, against any policy that segregated its fellow citizens and set them apart if tbey had any interest in conflict with the groat mass of the people. Who was there tbat hoped and expected his children would eat bread except in accord with God's order: "By the sweat cf his face?" He had tbreo boys at his hearth- stone, one of whom had suffered from tho hand of allliction and who would fight the battle of life against fearful odds, and be protested against any resolution, against any organization, tbat would segregate one of these beys and set tbcm apsrt as belong- ing to the great constituency represented here. Gentlemen here could not elevate labor; God bad done that in the beginning. He was tired of this demagogism to catch votes, not by asking what was best tor labor, but what tho working-me- could be induced to believe was best them. He was in favor of organization, which brought together all men and recognized the universal brother- hood of men. Tho bill which passed here a fow days ago wa a hollow mockery and a shame; it was not intended to do anything for tho laboring men; it was a mero tub to a whale a dalibcrato purpose t Tj.itch voles. He criticised tho want of considcra-- . tion given to the arbitration bill by the committee on labor. There had been no effort to ascertain facts. If a member se- cured filtecn minutes to speak on tbe bill, he would devote eight minutes to abusing Jay Gould, six minutes to abusing corporations and then surrendered tbe other minute of his time, being unequal to the task of sug- gesting any remedy. WhV didn't vou suggest a remedv? asked Mr. O'Niel, of 'Missouri. Because you didn't givo mo time to even open my mouth, replied Mr. Buttcrworth. Mr. Bland, ot Missouri, said we had a bill hero some days ago that p ropoied to set tbe laborers of the country at work; how did the gentleman vote on that! The contraction of the currency is impoverishing the peoplo to- day. Still harping on my daughter, quoted Mr. Butterworth in replyl If wo were desirous of infant baptism here tbo gentleman would stand up and want to have tho baptitmal basin purchased with standard silver dol- lars. Applause. In concluion Mr. But- terworth said that congress owes it to itself to take up the labor question and consider it carefully and then refer it to an appropriate committee, and it reported to a committee ho feared a measure would be reported rep- resenting, not tbe needs of the hour, but political needs of the coming campaign. Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania, confessed to a feeling of surprise at the heat with which the gentleman from Ohio had ap- proached Ibis subject. He desired to direct attention to tbe fact that tbe constitution made it tbe duty of the president from time to time to communicate to congress touch- ing the state ot the union and recommend- ing such measures as he shall deem neces- sary and expedient- - The president bad not ventured a hair beyond th.t, and how was he met here! He was met here with an a-- s auit on his motive. There was not one word against the proposition which he made; on tbe contrary there was not an intelligent man in tho country but knew tbe present condition of labor of tbe country demands the attention of congres. It w eay to question a man's motive. He tad also sup- posed the right to question the motives of a human being rested with a higher power. He asked that tbe mesage should have du consideration and deliberation, and a remedy fcr the troubles concerned, if poesible, bv a law. He declared that then" was not a word in it that appealed to any particular party, or any sect, or any class of rcen in tbe United States. On the contrary it appealed to congress as a body of mere citizens wish-ir- e for tbe public welfare. (Applause.) Mr. Weaver of Iowa, was in favor of the motion to commit with instructions, that the messaco might be calmly considered. The gentleman from Ohio "(Butterworth) said it eculd only receive deliberate consid-dcratio- n by the committee of the whole. But what example had the gentleman him- self set! He bad not suggested any remedv for the troubles. It was easy to find fault and harp and criticise, but It required states- manship and calm deliberation to meet the underlving causes of the preent troubles. Mr. Gibson, of "West Virginia, thought tbat the gnt!emaa from Ohio should net undertake to bring party into the discussion of this question. The gentleman had heard that tbe majority of the house would not bring forward a" proposition which would hay any practical results on th labor troubles! The troubles with which the country was suffering were tbe rult of powers given by corrupt congresses to great corporations under twenty years of Repub- lican administration. It was waUred stock the uniust charters granted br cogres against which labor was rebelling. Gentle men en tbe otter siae ougci not to assail this house because it could not bring about a remedy in a day, but ou;ht to confess tb criza and wrongs of these twenty yean of legislation. Mr. 0'NieL of Missouri, said the arbitra-tic- c bill had been discatsd br the bouse for frtwe i?av-- t A rot on ward f Tsrlii?Mn bad been injected in the deUt. It pasted bv a four-filth- s vot It had been nncrted unanimously by tb committee whs had been easdorsVd by the jsumali cf tie coati- - try and by ice intelligence ol the cenctry. It rested with the Resilesnan from Ohio to inject partisanship into the question. The gentleman was like the man with one story; if the conversation did not give him an op- portunity of telling his story he would stamp his foot on tbe floor and say that sounds like tv gun, and talking of gum . He was so full of partisan hills that hs could resist no opportunity of showing it. Mr. Reed, of Maine, expressed his satisfac- tion with the vote be cast for tha arbitration bill. The gentleman from Pennsylvania (Randall) in undertaking to explain the reason for this messago was the only man who had accused him. Nobody on tho. Re- publican side had found any fault with tbe firesidect or had even complained cf th his arousing t tbe subject. The question which was stiiring among the peo-p- 'e should be deliberately considered by congress. It might be that congress could devuo a remedy; it might be it could not; but it was bound to consider tbe question, and bound to consider it with regard to solving the problem beforo the November e'ectiom. Mr. McCrary. of New York, was gratified wita the president's message. He thought it was a wise and forcible document. Tbe relations between labor and capital were not as harmonious as should be. and the mes sage looked toward tho beginning of har mony, tie am not oeueve me prober way to sbttlo difficulties between labor and capi- tal was the use of violence. Ho believed ar- bitration was tho best plan. Concres3 should recognize that labor had rights, but also that capital had rights, and it was the duty of congress to cultivate harmony and good relations between tbem. Mr. Springer, of Illineis, supported this motion, claiming tbat the committee en labor was the proper place to refer tbe mes sage. He had moved instruction because be desired ta respond promptly to the recom mendations el me president, 'lnewise and thoughtful message of the president should be considered in a proper spirit. He op- posed tbo motion to refer it to the commit- tee of tbo whole, because it would be de- layed there. Mr. Springor's motion was then agreed to. Mr. Voorhees, of Washington Terri- tory, rising to a question of privilege, of- fered tho following resolution: Resolved, Tbat tbe committee on rules be instructed to inquire whether L. D. M. Swett or any other gentleman of tho house who appealed for the privilege of admission to the floor under rule 34, is interested as agent or attorney for any railroad or other corporation, or interestoi in anv claim or bill pending before congress, and to report to the bouse tbe result of such inquiry with such recommendations as may be necessary. It had been an open secret, he said, that ever since the beginning of this congress a powerful lobby, organized in the interest of various railroad corporations, bad infested congress, and tbe rules of the house had been openly, repeatedly and notoriously set at defiance by some members ot tbat lobby. He protested against tho continuance of that rank and crying abuse. Ho did not in- tend to reflect upon Mr. Swett, but bad in- serted his name because be personally knew Mr. Swett was attorney for tho North- ern Pacific Railroad company, according to suggestions by Mr. lllount and Mr. Rtnd.ill. Mr. Yoorhees modified his resolution by omitting the name of Mr. Swett, and by providing that tho inquiry shall bo carried on by a select committee of five members. As modified the resolutien was adopted. Tho bouse then went into committee of tho whole, Mr. Hatch of Missouri in the chair, on tbe private calendar. When tho committee rose a senate bill was passed for tbe relief of Emerson Eth-rid- and William I!. Stekes. 1 ho house then tcok a recess until 7:30, tbo evening session to be for the considera- tion of pension bills. The houso at tho evening session pased sixty pension bills. Adjourned. MORE LIGHT On the Subject Matter Before tho Consr9Slonal Labor Com- mittee. Wasuinqton, April 23. Tbe fourth day's session of the house cCaimitteo on labor difficulties in tbo southwest opened y with tho examination ofFi.-,nc- S. Turner, general secretary and treasurer of tho Knights of Lnbor. He laid he had taken part in the attempt to arrive at a set- tlement and was present at Powderly's in- terview with Gould. Tho Knights of Labor bad no political object and did not seek legislation and bad known no such move- ment on their part. Mr. Parker handed the witness a petition in tavor ol unlimited coinage of tho stand- ard silver dollar, purporting to be signed by 7C0 local assemblies. Mr. Turner stated that ho had novor seen or heard of the petition before, but tbat tbe organization did not deny the right of any of the assemblies to petition congress. Mr. Buchanan After examining the peti- tion did you not state that you thought tbe petition could be traced to societies outside of and unconnected with the Knights of Labor! Mr. Turner went on in reply to the ques- tion from Mr. Crain, to describo tbe inter- view which ho and bis colleague, Mr. Baili-- bad with Mr. Uoxie in St. Louis. The chairman In your statement jou used tbe word order in reference to men go- ing back to work. Can tbe central power of j our organization order tho men to work. or order tbcm to quit! Mr. Turner (hesitatingly) "Well, I do not understand that it we issue an order for the men to get to work they would refuse to go no matter who ordered them out-- Mr. Cram l ou havo no power to order a strike, have you! jlr. lurner ics. The chairman (with an air of suprise) You have! Mr. Turner Yes. Mr.'Crain AVheredo you derive your power from to order slriket! Mr. Turner Wo have no power directlv to order a strike, but wo bave power to ap prove or disapprove a strike. Mr. Crain Was this strike approved or disapproved. Mr. Turner WeJ never knew anything about it until we received a telegram from Mr. Hopkins. It never bas been approved. The witness thoroughly believed in arbi- tration and would like to see arbitration compulsory. Mr. Crain Suppose th arbitrators re- ported tbat tbe knights of Labor should go to work at a dollar a day, wben they wanted a dollar and a half! Are you willing to say you would ask your fellow workmen of tbe Knights of Labor to abide by tbat! Mr. Turner It I entered into an agree- ment to abide by arbitration, I would sum- mit. Mr. McDowell mado a statement in lieu of one of Gould's suggestions yesterday as to me propriety os win; iuc iiui tr neers and omccrs licensed oy ine general government. Tbe witnt i favored it. Referring to tbe remark made yesterday bv Hopkins as to prominent persons con- nected with the Knights of Ibor having been seen around brokers oSces, called forth the most positive denials of all the strikers as V speculations by Powderly, McDwell and Turner. The committee at 1:20 closed its sitting in Washington, and arranged that tbe members should leave for St. LouU Monday morning. Washington News DOUCOi Cr CCUMITTXEa. WAsnwoTOS, April 23.

They are also due, especially in localities wherelarge bodies ot workmen are gath- ered, to the fact that there will always be found men who, too frequently from sinister and mercenary motives, cause disturbances and endeavor to inaugurate strikes. When strikes are in progress their duration is lia- ble to be prolonged by the efforts of such persons; yet the tendency for the present is towards less frequent strikes and lockouts. The number of strikes in certain of the prominent trades, as given In the report, are at follows: Iron and steel industry, 235; coal mining, 13S; textile trade, 4C; cigar making. 42; build- ing trade, 46; transportation, 36; printing trades, 23; glass industry, 27; piano making, 14: boot and shoe making, 11. Much the greater portion of the strikes and lockouts reported upon were caused by differences as to rates of wages. A total of 503, or 36 per cent, were the result of scaling wages, or 02 per cent, of all were for ad- vance, and 9J per cent were against reduc- tions. Strikes growing out of demands for advance are much more infrequently suc- cessful than these against a reduction. In conditions of trade tbat justify an advance it is much more to tbe interest ofthe-em-ploy- er to give in than bave his work stop. Of tbe 813 strikes the result of 4Sl,or 50 per cent are given. Of these 165. or 35 per cent were successful; 85, or 13 percent, were compromised, and 227, or 47 per cent, were unsuccessful. It will be noted that wbi'e a larger num- ber of strike", 503 out of 813, were for an advanco in wages, a larger proportion of strikes for this cause were successful than for any of the other. Of tfce important classes of 07 strikes for an advance, of which tbe results aro given, 127, or 41 per cent were successful; 62, or 20 per cent were compromised, and 118, or 39 per cent were unsuccessful. On the other hand, the forty-fiv- e strikes or lockouts, where the demand was against a reduetion insisted on by tbo emplovers, three only of these, of which the result Is given, wero successful, eight were compromised, and thirty-fou- r were unsuc- cessful. Of tbe other classes thesO involv ing ques-tie- relating to the payment of wages were uniformallv successful." Out of thetwosty strikes in connection with tbe payment of wages, or which results are given, 11, or bo per cent were successful, six wero comprom- ised, and three reported as unsuccessful. On tbe other hand, every strike in connection with hours ot labor, of which tho result is givtn, was successful. In questions relatii.g to administration and methods of work the strikers wero as a re- sult unsuccessful. Of 813 strikes by causes reported upon, C10, or 80 per cent, were strikes and 81, or 12 per cent, lockouts. From the 414 of the 720 strikes reported, wero statements showing the number of men idle to have been 123.262; making an aver ago of 310 men to each strike. The report concludes as to wages lost. It appears that 61,779 employes lost $3,771,-0y- 7; this would be at the rate of $57 each. As the exact number of employes estimated was 228,733, tho total lo.s of wages on this average would bo $13,003,866, which they would have received had works run con- stantly. Of course there would bo a number of off- sets to this. In case the strikes were success- ful the additional wages would compensate for a portion of this loss. In other casts wbcro unionism existed in tbe trades in which thero wero strikes the men received strike pay or strike benefits. Hut strike ben- efits in most cases was simply refunding money that bad been previously paid. The strikers in maiy cases lost their place-- and hence their actual los would bo what wage tbey would havo eirned at their eild labor, minus wht they did earn in presumably less profitable employment. LEGAL DEATH. James Wasson, Joseph H. JaCkson and Robert Fowler Not None No More Ft. Smitu. Ark., April 23. J..me Waj-jg- ii and Joseph U. J&ckson were executed here y for n murder committed in the Indian Territoty. Expecting n respite. United States Marshal Carroll postponed tbe hour of bancmg until 2 p. m wben the prisoners wore dressed and tho death war- rants read. They wero then ironed, and af- ter bidding their fellow prisouers good-by- e were taken to tbe scaffold nt 3 o'clock. Before being handcuffed Jackson at- tempted to cut his throat with a bottle tbat some of the prisoners had given him, but was prevented by the guards alter he hail cut an ugly gah in his neck. This incident caused some delay. The gallows awaiting Wasson and Jackson was surrounded by guard", and after tho minister prayed tbe doomed men bad been made to bid each other good by, tbo caps were adjusted and alter a last farewell to tbe guard, re- porters and others present, the drop was sprung at 3:10 p. rn., and both men died without a struggle. The execution was witnessed by about 100 people, mostly deputy marshals, guards and rorters. Both men protested their inno- cence and Jackson said the witnesses swore lies against him. This makes seventy-on- e hanged on this gallows within tbe past twelve years. All tor murders committed in tho Indian Ter- ritory. James Wa'son, convicted of tbe murder of Henry .Martin, in Chicasaw Nation, in November, 1SS1. Wasson and a young In- dian named McLaughlin were under tbe in- fluence of liquor at the time of the murder. Having an old grudge against Martin, be went from place to plce seeking Um, fin- ally lound him and shot blm down and rode away. Wasson, 'earing bis victim rr.it;lit not be dend, returned and fired another bul- let through bis head. Joseph Jackson, a negro, was charged with wife murder,imply because he thought his wile too much trouble to him. He emptied the contents of a double-barrelle- d shot gun into her breast on the evening of March 21, 1SS5, at Scullyville, Choctaw Nation, when washing dishes at home. EvaSsVILLI, Ind., April 23 A special to the Journal says Itobert Fowler, who murdered Miss Lvdia Bennett, was banged at Morganfi'ld, I'nion county, at 100 this morning. He confessed his guilt and said he deserved his punishment. Whn tbe drop fell tbe rope broke and be fell to tbe ground. He was ried, tbe rope lied to tbe beam and in twenty minutes be was declared dead. Five thousand people witnessed tbe handing. A Bloodthirsty Fiend Kansas Citt, Apnl 23. George Arm- strong, an emplove of tie Richards Con-ov- er Hardware company, of this citv, was kill to-d- by U. T. Smith, also an em- ploye. The two men were engaged in to packing department and were at wrk alone together this morning, on tbe third floor of tbe building. Smith came down to the office and inform i Mr.Conover tbat b had struck Armstrorg with an ar. Mr. Con-ov- er went up stairs at once and found Arm- strong lying on the floor in a pool of blood, while blood and brains were ooxing from wounds in his head. Aid was summoned for tbe wounded man and Smith was takes in custody. It seems that while the mn were at work Smith suddenly seized an axe and dealt Armstrong a blow from behind on tbe hack of fin head.

Rates Advanced CniCAOO, April 23. The Union Pacific and Burlington and Missouri River roads to- day abondoned rebates on passenger rates and also made further ad- vance in fare. A circular was issued by the roads named giving notice that com- mencing April 25th rates from the Missouri river to California points will be iccreised to the following figures: First-clas- s, unlim- ited, SCO; first-clas- s, limited, $50; second-cla- ss or emigrant, $35. These rates ar without rebate and to take tbe place of all one-wa- y ticket rites from here to California. Tho attempt to advanco freight rate, westbound, has not been much of a succe.-s- . The advertising cf the Union Pacific railway and tbe Waba-- h has been an obstacle that none of tbe roads could re- move and a majority of them still Use the SO cent rate. Indicted.

An attempt was made this morning to desttvy tho church of San Lsuis, lb!) city. An explosive was placed inside one of the enormous hollow candles which stand on cither side of the altar. The explosion instead of taking placo while the church was crowded, as probably intended, occurred before tho people bee-i- to gather. The edifice was badly wrecked, nnd two sex- tons who wjro in tbe building, were badly burned. Tbe outrage has produced a pro- found ard widespread excitement and in the city.

The Terms of Settlement Between Ihe

Strikers and Railroad Officials

Not Made Public.

The Strikers, with Great Jubilating, Re-

turn to Wotk and Trains BeginTo Move Instanter.

The Sliver Lining.Cuicago, April :!3. At a conference held

last night at tho office of President Newell,of tbo Lake Shore road. Sheriff Hanebttt,J. P. Wright, Coumiissionir .McCarthy,Pliny Smitb, RsilroMl Alloinev Sells Mor-ris and Grand .Master .Monnghan, of tboSwitchmen's Protective of theUnited States, were present- - Tb confer-ence was held with lotked door, and no di-

rect information can be voudiscltU its tothe outcome of the proceeding. It i s saidtoslay tbat n tvaa discussedpermitting the men to reume work forsixty days, during which period it W3Jhoped that the existing difOciiItiea could boadjusted by arbitration.

The strikers beld a meeting last niht, atwhich a number of imported switchmenwere present. They nerted that theywcro regular snitchmen for the company,and tbat they wero forced to come hero orloso their placo. It was alio said tbattwenty-tiv- o ol them would not work nnylonger for the company.

l!y 7:C0 this morning almost all tho strik-ers were on band at the Lake Shoro railroadyards, discussing the situation and prospectslor tho day. It was generally thought thatany attempt tho company might makewould be abortho as in mero confidencothat none of tho engineers would move tholocomotives out of tbo round hotifo jard.At 8 o'iock tbo crowd had grown muchlarger. As usual, it is composed of idle,curiosity seekers.

Uy 9 o'clock the crowd had received largeadditions, but contented themselves withwaiting for something to turn up. Presi-dent Newell and other officials ol the LkoShoro road held a consultation with Sheriffllanchet this morning, but tbo result didnot transpire.

It was reported that the striking switch-men had mado overtures for a settlement ofthe existing trouble. Several of their rep-resentatives aro in consultation with therailroad officials.

Kvcrytbing is quiet at tho j ards at thishour II a. m.

General .Manager Xewell, Messrs. Am-de- n,

'Wright and lilodgc.lt wero in tbo for-mer's office for over three hours this morn-ing, but their deliberations were not di-

vulged. In general it was stated that tbocompany renewed its determination to sur-render nono of its positions.

Tho strikers arrested yesterday appearedin court this morning, but tbo bearing waspattpor.cil until

12 M. An important consultation is nowin progress between the officials of the road,the sheriff and a representative of tbo strik-ers. It is ascertained from official sourcesthat a definite decision will be reached by .T

o'clock this afternoon.LATER.

The switchmen' strike on tho Lake Shorerailway is at an end. An order has justbeen issued by tho chairman of the commit-tee, directing tho switchmen to report atthe Forty-thir- d street yard. The old mongo bacK to work at thcirown rcijuert, with-out any stipulation whatever on tbo part ofthe road. Kigbt non-unio- n men return towork along with the union men previousto the strike.

An order'for tho men to return to workwas telegraphed from the general offico ofIheLake Shoro campany at 1:33 p. m., andwithin ten minutes switch engines beganleaving tbo round houo and the making upof trains begun. Tbo blockade completelyended thii afternoon.

A number of striking switchmen at theard declare tho hake bhoro officials agreed

on their part to dispose of the 8 non-unio- n

men in somo manner within tho next sixmonths by placing tbcm in some other de-partment or otherwise carcing for them; inany event to take them away from the yardswhere they aro at prercnt working.

At 3 o'clock an engine pulled out of thoround bouo manned oy a crew of strikers.There is a general shaking of bands andcongratulatiug among tho men and every-body seems pleased.

MUX LATEK.

Cmciao, April 2J. When tho strikeended tbo miction whether it waj the resultof a capitulation on the part of the strikersor whether tho company has acceded to tbodemands of the men was perfectly a matterof conjecture. Uoth sides claimed tho vic-tory and there rested their case. Theyoffered no explanation. Tho strikers andtheir friends were in u most jubilant frameof mind all day, and when tho torm of set-

tlement were mado known at tbo secretmeeting tbo men all cheered until the build-ing trembled. Tbo demeanor of tho officerswas in marked contrast to tbat of thestrikers. All of tho officers were gloomyand taciturn and repelled newspaper reporters who endeavored to elicit from themtbo basis of settlement.

At 2.30 p. m. railroad officials at the LakoShore depot received a disptch from thecompany's operator at Porty third streetstating that the strikers all wanted to returnto work. District Superintendent Atnsdenreplied by wire, if they did tbo eight menon whoso account tho strike was inaugur-ated, must be allowed to go to work withthem, and soon after tho contents of Super-inrendt- nt

Amsden's telegram was communi-cated to the strikers a dispatch was receivedfrom Chairman Stabl, of the strikers com-mittee, confirming the report that the strikerswanted to resume work, and that tho strikewas at an end. The rejoicing w as general.

The eight objectionable men weto at onceordered down to tbo yard w here tho strikersunited in making up trains.

Chairman Stabl was called on for thobasis of settlement and replied by displayingthe following note:W II. stabl. Chairman

If all tbo switchmen if the Lake Shoreand Michigan Southern railroad in Chicagoor Cook county return to work at once Iwill personally guarantee that within sixtydays from this the tight objectionableswitchmen will bo furnished other emlpoy-rae- nt

and permanently removed from theirpresent positions.

(Signed) .I5v authority."I am not at liberty to givo the nams of

the man sinning this psptr," continued Mr.Stabl, "but it is genuine and fully sanctionedbv Mr. Newell. More than that it is swornto."

What about tho positions!They are all to bo dimied and the men

will go back to work. Tbo company makesa complete capitulation. I would tell cumore, but my word is pledgee! and I cannotdo so.

Officers of the company .however, continueto assert they had not entered into anyagreement, also tht they had cot autkof-iie- d

anyone else to do so."In this connection, XeUon Morris, Tireii-dcr- .t

of tbo Kairbank Canning cempanv,was seen at bis residence. He said,rogardins the basis cf settlementbetween tbo Lako Shore people andthe employe. that ho was notat liberty to reveal anything, but the factthat the men had gone" to work and businesshad been resumed was luffirisai for his firm.They ship considerable freight via the LakeShore road; in fact, tho bnlk of their stuffwent via that route. The Fairbanks Can-ning company had contracts with teveralequipping, and these contracts mast bfilled within a short period of time, andthey could not afford to pile up their freight

awaiting tho pleasure of some railroad offi-

cers. The result was, a conference was heldand an arrangement arrived at wherebywork could be resumed.

You can flatly contradict the statementto tho effect that tho Fairbanks companyaro to find places for the 8 objectionablemen.

The inference, drawn from Mr. Fairbankswas thit such a pressure was brought tobear upon the Lake Shore company by thopacking company that they were compelledto sign an arrangement to make places fortho eight men within sixty days and thisagreement chiinnan Stahl carries ia hispocket.

Another K. of L. Statement.New Kku.vswick, April 23. John W.

Hayes, member of the general executiveboard, Knights of Labor, returned here lastevening. Ho says no progress has beenmade towards a settlement of differences be-tween the strikers and tbo Gould system ofrailways. Tho cause is now, however, insuch shape from which it is expected tbattbo congressional committee, reaching St.Louis, and meets the citizens' committee,these two bodies may bo ablo to hit on someplan of settlement.

Ho says tho reports sent out by tbo rail-ways tbat they aro handling all tbo freightthey want every day aro untrue. Tbe rodsare all blocked up, and what freight is runout coea out under the protection of deputysheriffs and the militia.

Tbe railways' claim, Hayes admits, tbatthey havo now men to do all tbe work theyhave to do, w hich is very little, on accountof the blockade. There have been, he says,15,000 loaded cars standing in tbe yardsfor four weeks. Mr. Hayes fays tho

shootinir of masses of innocentpeople by deputies was instigated by rail-way authorities. The Knights of Laborsay they cannot get tbo help of tho statemilit'a to run their trains, they thereforegot together a gang of roughs, who broughton trouble, and the governor then orderedthe militia on tho scene IIo further saysthat lawyers, employed by tbo Knights ofLiabor, havo now in their possession ampleevidenco to convict prominent officials oftbe Louisvilloand Nashvilh railway of in-- J

slicnling this not.The whole spirit and intention of tbe or-

der, says Mr. Hayes, is opposed to strikesand boycott", which have been brought onbecause of tbo want of laws to preventthem. An endeayor will be mad to pro-ve- nt

in the future any such uprisings as arenow progressing, without the authority oftho general assembly. Mr. Hayes goes toSt. Louis this evening.

FORTY-NINT- H CONGRESS.House.

Wasuixoton--, April 22. The house metat II o'clock in continuation of yesterday'scession and immediately went into commit-te- e

of the whole, Mr. Wellborn of Texas, intho chair, on the river and harbor bill.Four hours the bill wa considered and somelittle progress made, and a few moments be-

fore noon tbe committee rose and tho houseadjourned and tho session of Friday opened.

Tho president's message on the labortroubles having been read by the clerk, Mr.Springer of Illinois, moved the referenco tjthe committee on labor with instructions forthe committee to report upon it by bill orothorwiso.

Mr. Bulterworth's motion was lost yeas77, nays 147.

Mr. Road of Main, regretted that therewould be no opportunity t discuss thomessage in committtee of'tbe whole. Theresult would havo been mom speedy andUselul to legislation, than would be accomplished bvils reference to a standing com-mittee. Thero being SO minutes allowedunder the rules Mr. Buttcrworlh securedthe floor. The object of the motion to referthe message to tho committee of thowhole, he said, had been considered by somegentleman as unw ise because it would notbe reached at an early day. Every gentle-man believed, or ought to believe, tbe mes-sage tbe president sent presented a questionof "vast consequence to the country. It hadbeen bis purpose if bis motion had prevailedto a'k unammou consent to fix an earlyday for consideration of this question withthe hope and expectation that it might bofairly considered, notwith a view of control-ling elections in November, but with a viewto getting the right solution of this greatproblem.

He wished the people could read whatwas passing in tbo minds cf their assembledlegislators here, and segregate their desireto do what was best for tbo country fromwhat was regarded as u mero expedient tocatch votes. He protested, in tho name ofAmerican manhood, against any policy thatsegregated its fellow citizens and set themapart if tbey had any interest in conflictwith the groat mass of the people. Whowas there tbat hoped and expected hischildren would eat bread except in accordwith God's order: "By the sweat cf hisface?" He had tbreo boys at his hearth-stone, one of whom had suffered from thohand of allliction and who would fight thebattle of life against fearful odds, and beprotested against any resolution, againstany organization, tbat would segregate oneof these beys and set tbcm apsrt as belong-ing to the great constituency representedhere.

Gentlemen here could not elevate labor;God bad done that in the beginning. Hewas tired of this demagogism to catch votes,not by asking what was best tor labor, butwhat tho working-me- could be induced tobelieve was best them. He was in favorof organization, which brought together allmen and recognized the universal brother-hood of men. Tho bill which passed here afow days ago wa a hollow mockery and ashame; it was not intended to do anythingfor tho laboring men; it was a mero tub toa whale a dalibcrato purpose t Tj.itch

voles. He criticised tho want of considcra-- .tion given to the arbitration bill by thecommittee on labor. There had been noeffort to ascertain facts. If a member se-

cured filtecn minutes to speak on tbe bill, hewould devote eight minutes to abusing JayGould, six minutes to abusing corporationsand then surrendered tbe other minute ofhis time, being unequal to the task of sug-

gesting any remedy.WhV didn't vou suggest a remedv? asked

Mr. O'Niel, of 'Missouri.Because you didn't givo mo time to even

open my mouth, replied Mr. Buttcrworth.Mr. Bland, ot Missouri, said we had a bill

hero some days ago that p ropoied to set tbelaborers of the country at work; how did thegentleman vote on that! The contraction ofthe currency is impoverishing the peoplo to-

day.Still harping on my daughter, quoted Mr.

Butterworth in replyl If wo were desirousof infant baptism here tbo gentleman wouldstand up and want to have tho baptitmalbasin purchased with standard silver dol-

lars. Applause. In concluion Mr. But-

terworth said that congress owes it to itself totake up the labor question and consider itcarefully and then refer it to an appropriatecommittee, and it reported to a committeeho feared a measure would be reported rep-resenting, not tbe needs of the hour, butpolitical needs of the coming campaign.

Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania, confessedto a feeling of surprise at the heat withwhich the gentleman from Ohio had ap-proached Ibis subject. He desired to directattention to tbe fact that tbe constitutionmade it tbe duty of the president from timeto time to communicate to congress touch-ing the state ot the union and recommend-ing such measures as he shall deem neces-

sary and expedient- - The president bad notventured a hair beyond th.t, and how washe met here! He was met here with an a-- s

auit on his motive. There was not oneword against the proposition which he made;on tbe contrary there was not an intelligentman in tho country but knew tbe presentcondition of labor of tbe country demandsthe attention of congres. It w eay toquestion a man's motive. He tad also sup-posed the right to question the motives of ahuman being rested with a higher power.He asked that tbe mesage should have duconsideration and deliberation, and a remedyfcr the troubles concerned, if poesible, bv alaw. He declared that then" was not a wordin it that appealed to any particular party,or any sect, or any class of rcen in tbeUnited States. On the contrary it appealedto congress as a body of mere citizens wish-ir- e

for tbe public welfare. (Applause.)Mr. Weaver of Iowa, was in favor of the

motion to commit with instructions, thatthe messaco might be calmly considered.The gentleman from Ohio "(Butterworth)said it eculd only receive deliberate consid-dcratio- n

by the committee of the whole.But what example had the gentleman him-

self set! He bad not suggested any remedvfor the troubles. It was easy to find faultand harp and criticise, but It required states-manship and calm deliberation to meet theunderlving causes of the preent troubles.

Mr. Gibson, of "West Virginia, thoughttbat the gnt!emaa from Ohio should netundertake to bring party into the discussionof this question. The gentleman had heardthat tbe majority of the house would notbring forward a" proposition which wouldhay any practical results on th labortroubles! The troubles with which thecountry was suffering were tbe rult ofpowers given by corrupt congresses to greatcorporations under twenty years of Repub-lican administration. It was waUred stock

the uniust charters granted br cogresagainst which labor was rebelling. Gentlemen en tbe otter siae ougci not to assailthis house because it could not bring abouta remedy in a day, but ou;ht to confess tbcriza and wrongs of these twenty yean oflegislation.

Mr. 0'NieL of Missouri, said the arbitra-tic- c

bill had been discatsd br the bouse forfrtwe i?av-- t A rot on ward f Tsrlii?Mnbad been injected in the deUt. It pastedbv a four-filth- s vot It had been nncrtedunanimously by tb committee whs hadbeen easdorsVd by the jsumali cf tie coati--try and by ice intelligence ol the cenctry.It rested with the Resilesnan from Ohio to

inject partisanship into the question. Thegentleman was like the man with one story;if the conversation did not give him an op-portunity of telling his story he would stamphis foot on tbe floor and say that sounds liketv gun, and talking of gum . He was sofull of partisan hills that hs could resist noopportunity of showing it.

Mr. Reed, of Maine, expressed his satisfac-tion with the vote be cast for tha arbitrationbill. The gentleman from Pennsylvania(Randall) in undertaking to explain thereason for this messago was the only manwho had accused him. Nobody on tho. Re-

publican side had found any fault with tbe

firesidect or had even complained cf thhis arousing t tbe subject. The

question which was stiiring among the peo-p- 'e

should be deliberately considered bycongress. It might be that congress coulddevuo a remedy; it might be it could not;but it was bound to consider tbe question,and bound to consider it with regard tosolving the problem beforo the Novembere'ectiom.

Mr. McCrary. of New York, was gratifiedwita the president's message. He thoughtit was a wise and forcible document. Tberelations between labor and capital were notas harmonious as should be. and the message looked toward tho beginning of harmony, tie am not oeueve me prober wayto sbttlo difficulties between labor and capi-tal was the use of violence. Ho believed ar-bitration was tho best plan. Concres3should recognize that labor had rights, butalso that capital had rights, and it was theduty of congress to cultivate harmony andgood relations between tbem.

Mr. Springer, of Illineis, supported thismotion, claiming tbat the committee enlabor was the proper place to refer tbe message. He had moved instruction because bedesired ta respond promptly to the recommendations el me president, 'lnewise andthoughtful message of the president shouldbe considered in a proper spirit. He op-posed tbo motion to refer it to the commit-tee of tbo whole, because it would be de-layed there.

Mr. Springor's motion was then agreed to.Mr. Voorhees, of Washington Terri-

tory, rising to a question of privilege, of-fered tho following resolution:

Resolved, Tbat tbe committee on rulesbe instructed to inquire whether L. D. M.Swett or any other gentleman of tho housewho appealed for the privilege of admissionto the floor under rule 34, is interested asagent or attorney for any railroad or othercorporation, or interestoi in anv claim orbill pending before congress, and to reportto the bouse tbe result of such inquiry withsuch recommendations as may be necessary.

It had been an open secret, he said, thatever since the beginning of this congress apowerful lobby, organized in the interest ofvarious railroad corporations, bad infestedcongress, and tbe rules of the house hadbeen openly, repeatedly and notoriously setat defiance by some members ot tbat lobby.He protested against tho continuance ofthat rank and crying abuse. Ho did not in-

tend to reflect upon Mr. Swett, but bad in-

serted his name because be personallyknew Mr. Swett was attorney for tho North-ern Pacific Railroad company, according tosuggestions by Mr. lllount and Mr. Rtnd.ill.

Mr. Yoorhees modified his resolution byomitting the name of Mr. Swett, and byproviding that tho inquiry shall bo carriedon by a select committee of five members.As modified the resolutien was adopted.

Tho bouse then went into committee oftho whole, Mr. Hatch of Missouri in thechair, on tbe private calendar.

When tho committee rose a senate billwas passed for tbe relief of Emerson Eth-rid-

and William I!. Stekes.1 ho house then tcok a recess until 7:30,

tbo evening session to be for the considera-tion of pension bills.

The houso at tho evening session pasedsixty pension bills.

On the Subject Matter Before thoConsr9Slonal Labor Com-

mittee.Wasuinqton, April 23. Tbe fourth

day's session of the house cCaimitteo onlabor difficulties in tbo southwest opened

y with tho examination ofFi.-,nc- S.Turner, general secretary and treasurer oftho Knights of Lnbor. He laid he hadtaken part in the attempt to arrive at a set-tlement and was present at Powderly's in-

terview with Gould. Tho Knights of Laborbad no political object and did not seeklegislation and bad known no such move-ment on their part.

Mr. Parker handed the witness a petitionin tavor ol unlimited coinage of tho stand-ard silver dollar, purporting to be signed by7C0 local assemblies.

Mr. Turner stated that ho had novor seenor heard of the petition before, but tbat tbeorganization did not deny the right of anyof the assemblies to petition congress.

Mr. Buchanan After examining the peti-tion did you not state that you thought tbepetition could be traced to societies outsideof and unconnected with the Knights ofLabor!

Mr. Turner went on in reply to the ques-tion from Mr. Crain, to describo tbe inter-view which ho and bis colleague, Mr. Baili--

bad with Mr. Uoxie in St. Louis.The chairman In your statement jou

used tbe word order in reference to men go-

ing back to work. Can tbe central powerof j our organization order tho men to work.or order tbcm to quit!

Mr. Turner (hesitatingly) "Well, I do notunderstand that it we issue an order for themen to get to work they would refuse to gono matter who ordered them out--

Mr. Cram l ou havo no power to ordera strike, have you!

jlr. lurner ics.The chairman (with an air of suprise)

You have!Mr. Turner Yes.Mr.'Crain AVheredo you derive your

power from to order slriket!Mr. Turner Wo have no power directlv

to order a strike, but wo bave power to approve or disapprove a strike.

Mr. Crain Was this strike approved ordisapproved.

Mr. Turner WeJ never knew anythingabout it until we received a telegram fromMr. Hopkins. It never bas been approved.

The witness thoroughly believed in arbi-tration and would like to see arbitrationcompulsory.

Mr. Crain Suppose th arbitrators re-

ported tbat tbe knights of Labor should goto work at a dollar a day, wben they wanteda dollar and a half! Are you willing to sayyou would ask your fellow workmen of tbeKnights of Labor to abide by tbat!

Mr. Turner It I entered into an agree-ment to abide by arbitration, I would sum-

mit.Mr. McDowell mado a statement in lieu of

one of Gould's suggestions yesterday as tome propriety os win; iuc iiui trneers and omccrs licensed oy ine generalgovernment. Tbe witnt i favored it.

Referring to tbe remark made yesterdaybv Hopkins as to prominent persons con-

nected with the Knights of Ibor havingbeen seen around brokers oSces, calledforth the most positive denials of all thestrikers as V speculations by Powderly,McDwell and Turner.

The committee at 1:20 closed its sitting inWashington, and arranged that tbe membersshould leave for St. LouU Monday morning.

ing the calendar year 18S5. bave been received by the interior cepartment-Th- e

records show, the report savs, thatmany strikes and lockouts still grow out ofthe most trivial causes.

They are also due, especially in localitieswherelarge bodies ot workmen are gath-ered, to the fact that there will always befound men who, too frequently from sinisterand mercenary motives, cause disturbancesand endeavor to inaugurate strikes. Whenstrikes are in progress their duration is lia-

ble to be prolonged by the efforts of suchpersons; yet the tendency for the present istowards less frequent strikes and lockouts.The number of strikes in certain of theprominent trades, as given In the report, areat follows:

Iron and steel industry, 235; coal mining,13S; textile trade, 4C; cigar making. 42; build-ing trade, 46; transportation, 36; printingtrades, 23; glass industry, 27; piano making,14: boot and shoe making, 11.

Much the greater portion of the strikesand lockouts reported upon were caused bydifferences as to rates of wages. A total of503, or 36 per cent, were the result of scalingwages, or 02 per cent, of all were for ad-

vance, and 9J per cent were against reduc-tions. Strikes growing out of demands foradvance are much more infrequently suc-cessful than these against a reduction. Inconditions of trade tbat justify an advanceit is much more to tbe interest ofthe-em-ploy- er

to give in than bave his work stop.Of tbe 813 strikes the result of 4Sl,or 50

per cent are given. Of these 165. or 35 percent were successful; 85, or 13 percent, werecompromised, and 227, or 47 per cent, wereunsuccessful.

It will be noted that wbi'e a larger num-ber of strike", 503 out of 813, were for anadvanco in wages, a larger proportion ofstrikes for this cause were successful thanfor any of the other. Of tfce importantclasses of 07 strikes for an advance, ofwhich tbe results aro given, 127, or 41 percent were successful; 62, or 20 per cent werecompromised, and 118, or 39 per cent wereunsuccessful. On the other hand, the forty-fiv- e

strikes or lockouts, where the demandwas against a reduetion insisted on by tboemplovers, three only of these, of which theresult Is given, wero successful, eight werecompromised, and thirty-fou- r were unsuc-cessful.

Of tbe other classes thesO involv ing ques-tie-

relating to the payment of wages wereuniformallv successful." Out of thetwostystrikes in connection with tbe payment ofwages, or which results are given, 11, or boper cent were successful, six wero comprom-ised, and three reported as unsuccessful. Ontbe other hand, every strike in connectionwith hours ot labor, of which tho result isgivtn, was successful.

In questions relatii.g to administration andmethods of work the strikers wero as a re-

sult unsuccessful. Of 813 strikes by causesreported upon, C10, or 80 per cent, werestrikes and 81, or 12 per cent, lockouts.

From the 414 of the 720 strikes reported,wero statements showing the number of menidle to have been 123.262; making an averago of 310 men to each strike.

The report concludes as to wages lost. Itappears that 61,779 employes lost $3,771,-0y- 7;

this would be at the rate of $57 each.As the exact number of employes estimatedwas 228,733, tho total lo.s of wages on thisaverage would bo $13,003,866, which theywould have received had works run con-stantly.

Of course there would bo a number of off-sets to this. In case the strikes were success-ful the additional wages would compensatefor a portion of this loss. In other castswbcro unionism existed in tbe trades inwhich thero wero strikes the men receivedstrike pay or strike benefits. Hut strike ben-efits in most cases was simply refundingmoney that bad been previously paid. Thestrikers in maiy cases lost their place-- andhence their actual los would bo what wagetbey would havo eirned at their eild labor,minus wht they did earn in presumably lessprofitable employment.
