Seeking a Compromise.

CHICAGO Feb 18.-The strike at the Maxwell
box factory, which was the occasion of serious
rioting, several weeks ago, has a prospect of
settlement. The factory is running again, with
about one-third the usual force. The strikers
have sent letter outlining plan OF compro
mise An answer was returned by the firm, in
which they say: 1--WE have to say that no prop
ostion will be entertained by us which will
interfere with the use of machinery as we deem
best in the execution of our business If 1t is
the desire of the men to return to work, we can
find employment for about fifty of them, being
allowed our own Judgment to whom we shall
employ. This is with the understanding that
we reserve the right. at all times. to employ and
discharge whom we please, without the influence
of employees; also, that the men now in our en-
ploy shall remain, without molestation in any
way by those reinstated."
The strike made because the men pro-
tested against labor-saving machinery being
introduced to make boxes. They are now will
ing to compromise, if Maxwell will allow the
machines to be run by the piece Maxwell wants
them run by the day.

A Long-Pending Strike Adjusted.

CHICAGO. Feb. ia telegram which, it is
claimed, has an important bearing the nail
making industry in the West. was received to-
day by the United Nailers' and Heaters Associt-
ton Of this dlstricr, from the president of the
association, J. N. Weir, of Wheeling. Il stated
that a compromise had been effected between
the strikers of the Mingo, o., nail works. and
the proprietors of the concern which was sat
isfactory to both parties. 1t is nine months since
the strike at the Elipgo works was inaugurated.
The cause of the strike was a reduction of
wages, and the trouble spread to nearly all the
Western mills. An effort was made by the man
ufacturers to reduce the wages OF the men from
20 TO IS per cent. at different mills This at
tempted reduction was the occasion of strike
at the Calumet Iron and Steel Companys works,
at South Chicago, and led to the boycott which
was placed on the nails made by this company.
The settlement at Mingo was made on the fol-
lowing basis: On So card-rate. Ii cents for cut
ting 81 80 20 cents; 81 70, 81 cents; 49, % cents
and 10 per cent off for automatic feeders; ANAL
gamated prices for heating and rolling.
'"The compromise would seem to indicate
said Manager Lewis, of the Calumet iron and
steel works. "that the Mingo works had broken
from the association. We had never thought of
giving way to the strikers The compromise
will not probably affect We have now force
of non union men at work nearly half as large as
the old union force, and our output is fairly
large The Miugo works are not so big that their
action will embarrass the remainder and the
other members of the Western Nail Association
are not likely to follow the example set them"
Wheeling. W. Va. telegram says: 'The
compromise in the naers' strike at Mingo, O.,
where the works OF the junction Iron Company,
of this city, are located, and reported from Chi
cage, is confirmed. Samuel Laughlln, president
of the company, to-day withdrew from the West
Nail Association and resigned his place on

the Western Nail Association has been called for
Saturday at Pittsburg. It is believed here that
all the mills not now running with non union
