The Milwaukee strike Settled by Com
promise.

this evening between the committee an
pointed by the blacksmIths' and machinists'
union and Manager Merrill, of the Milwaukee
and st. Paul railroad, the latter presented
written statement, in substance, that the
company would reopen their shops to-mor-
row and take back those who wished to re-
turn at the wages paid them at the time they
quit work on Saturday, provided the union
would withdraw its protest The committee
reported to the union that Merrill had assured
them that no further reduction would be
made; the protest was then Withdrawn.
Thus the matter has been amicably settled,
and the men will all return to work to-mor-
row.
