colt Formally Declared on.

The proprlstors Of the morning news'
papers have reached an amicabls adjust
ment Of their differences, and yesterday
the old employees went back to their cases,
During the more than thirteen weeks OF
the strike conferences have been held from
time to time without reaching any conClu'
sion, Finally, on Thursday night last, the
parties Interested CAME together and hid
such full discussion as had not taken
place before, A basis OF agreement was
reached, ratified by q special meeting oil
the Union on Friday night, and on sAtur-
day the two committees again met, and
signed articles Of agreement settling the
difficulty,
1t WAS agreed that the former employees
should be reinstated without prejudice, at
the old scale, So cents per thousand ems,
their demand for ON increase to forty cents
to be submitted to the arbitrators, each
aide to choose one arbitrator and the two
TO select a third. Tho ioremen of the sew
ersl departments are not to be required Ia
be union men, as hitherto theylhsve been,

their hands.
