THE Southwestern strike shows signs
Of abatement. Mr.. Powderlv the Grand

their differences to arbitration. AT first
the strikers were 10th to obey Powder
Tvs order TO resume work, they con-
sidering the dispatches to he fogeries,
but after they were duly authenticated
the mass of the strikers showed dispo-
sition TO resume without grumbling.
There was slight misunderstanding be-
tween Gould and Powderly, as to the
terms of agreement after the latter gen
tleman's order to the men was issued,
which for time seemed likely to pre-
cipitate the trouble anew, but this has
been bridged over, and the greatest and
most widespread strike on record is
thus brought to a close. The direful ef-
fects attendant upon such disturbances
are left however, and it will take long
time to eradicate these.
