,.,s were long deliberations yesterday
,''.n the manufacturers and the iron
~ H. with view to the settlement Of
=, li,Ilcu,ics. 1t seemed until Il late
r,ll, nigh, almost impossible for them
.,,Icc, a plan Of agreement mutually
tI,rtOry, and they really adjourned
I. 10 o'clock without reach
harmonious conclusion. The
',rs,turs lmd submitted prop
'r"n recorded in another column
sb,hey requested the workmcn to take
!, ,nt,iler,iou, and II was supposed
ss,b.r might uc Il renewal of the COLI
L.,,. in some shape or other in n day or
-, But after the adjournment Of the
.,,reuce one Of the mills, after consulta-
!, ,i,h i,s stockholders, concluded to
;,,he scale as it was finally rendered by
I,,o,ku,en las, night, which included
abatement Of part Of their original
Land. and Of course this action dis.
IL. the lockout and will result in nil the
i. going to work at once This result will
J,.urr be read by the public generally
,aba feeling Of congratulation, in ms much
s,he lon. strike had become n wearisome
ropoOny, aud people Of Ill occupations
,st.elby it were anxious 10 see it ended.
The bone Of routcst in the Wheeling
I.,rirt, alter the general strike was settled
d Pittsburgh, has been sufficiently ex-
,ainel in .Our columns in the past, and
ned not he enlarged upon further. It
rev mainly out Of Il traditional difference
aid here in one department OF the mills
o,r Pittsburgh, about which there was n
,rical ,litItrtnc, OF opinion between the
pil.and tlrir employees in that. depart.
uen, and this WAS the main hitch in
u.po:iatiOns. However, il lnay now be
r,sterel settled for another year at
ti4 and II is 10 be hoped ttla! everything
I'd proceed ~ tremendously in the future
uiu the past.
kvill be Il welcome sight 10 everybody
t,se the smoke and flames once more MS.
cslins from our iron works, for these are
designs of Wheeling's prosperity, and in
snrril rs there is now an active demand
IL nails there is every reason TO expect 4
,ppt,ons hll run. The town needs the
Money that will come TO it in exchange for
he ytoluct Of the mills, the workmen
rsIh, the stockholders need It, and in
La everybody will feel that they need il.
Therefore everybody will feel like cxclIang-
t,s congratulations that The strike has at
.ash ended. It is to bc hoped that we
1--we seen the last occurrence OF this kind
h years to come. Strikes are costly
lllEies. The cost OF the one now
,nlel is estimated at fifty millions Of
ldhn, all told, counting wages 10 the
opentvs, wages to dependent and allied
i.lrstries, and possible returns 10 the mills
l,l 10 tie trade. This shows mere forcibly
din wOria how desirable il is that some
hier method should be devised for ad-
iaaiag difficulties. Strikes are defined to
ls"blooileSs wars" md, like wars, de-
suctiye Of values. No one can tell the
accumulated savings that have been wiped
oct by this long strike. All that could
h'e been earned by operatives and aH
hat could have been made by those en-
fised in the business, has been lost for
ter, as well as the loss Of large amount
u means earned and saved in the past.
This is why strikes are called "bloodless
ns," snd why some agency that will
i'old them Is so imperativcly demanded.
In conclusion, We are slnd to record that
A He strike was indeed bloodless war.
hPpit' there were no occurrences to mark
aEurse " violence or bloodshcd. This
hmprogress. The result is that all par
tain interest resume operations to-day
