END or THE LOCKOUT IN PORTLAND
After a struggle Of seventeen weeks the
quarrymen Of Portland have succumbed To
the demands Of the quarry owners. The
men went work last Monday, and complied
with the notices that had been served on
them eight weeks ago, viz that they should
leave the so ciety, and they would receive
81 30 for the summer months, five cents
i'll advance of what they received last sum-
mer. As usual the quarry owners carried
them up in the hay wagon, and gave them
the ticket they desired them to vote The
organization has been destroyed, and the
workingmen are at the mercy Of the CAPT
talists, compelled to take whatever they see
fit t.. five them. They are virtually slaves.

The strike of the molders in Warner
Foundry has been settled, and the men re-
sumed work last Monday, on the old basis.
Both employers and employees agreed on j
b. Sargent as an arbitrator, to settle the
difficulty. He recommended that the suits
for conspiracy be withdrawn, and that the
men be placed to work on the same condi-
ton as when they left. The employees re-
sumed work last Monday, and everything
at present is going on smoothly. Arbitra-
ton is much better than strikes for both
sides. New Haven Union.
