Result of the Arbitration at. Galveston.

GALVESTON, Tex, Nov. 1.-THE committee
which has been arhitrating between the Knights
of Labor and the Mallory Steamship Company
concluded its labors tonight by adopting the
following resolution:
Resolved, That in consideration of the fact that the
strike originated in consequence of mutual misunder
standings, recommend and request Agent Sawyer
that whenever he needs labor in addition the
Der of men his pay-rolls he give the preference
10 the men who were at work the wharves at the
time of the strike.
This settlement does not eject single colored
man from the Mallory wharf, but merely pro-
vides that no more coored men shall be en-
ployed there and whenever dismssals occur or
IA increased force is required, the new labor is
TO be taken from among the white Iongshore-
men. Under the language of the resolution the
Mallorys are apparently not bound to employ
strikers in the event of adding to their present
force, but leading knights claim that they are
SO bound. AS far as can be learned o-pight,
the result is regarded by both sides as something
OF Scotch verdict, and is, therefore, not very
satisfactory.
