TIE storm which blew with such terrific
force on Tuesday in the vicinity of Wasb-

destructive than the dispatches published

ESPECIAL TO THE APPEAL.I

B1RM1NaHAM, September "a compro-
mise was agreed to to-day which termi-
mates the strike at the Warrior Coal and
Coke Company's mines, twenty-five miles
north of here, against the introduction of
Italian labor. The strikers agreed to the
reservation of one entry for Italians, and
will resume work at once. A decided ad-
vantage remains with the company, and
it seems likely other operators about War
rior will follow their lead and put foreign
labor in the mines wherever this can be
done sdventageou-ly. A meeting of oper-
srors is called here for the 10th instant,
and will doubtless deal largely with the
labor question.

that the negotiations tend 20 strongly towards q
