AvERTING THE POSTAL CLASH.
CHICAGO, March 1S-The threatened
clash between the Postoffice Department
and the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Com
pany WAS averted by an amicable agreement
early to-day before the strike was declared
off by the Brotherhood. T. f. Nash, Cen
eral Superintendent of the Railway Mail
Service, said this evening, in explana
ton of the matter, that Vice-President
Smith had directed his men to see that the
mails were promptly moved over the COM
pany's lines and that whenever they found
it impossible to get engineers to move pas
sengers and freight, but who were willing
to haul mails, that trains he ordered out
with mails only. While it was believed
that the company would be able to run
most of their passenger trains as ordinarily,
it was understood that if trains were run
for mails only but train day each way
would be expected. This harmonized the en-
tire difficulty between the post office depart
ment and the Atchisou management and it
is believed that should there be strikes on
other lines the same policy as that adopted
by Mr.. Smith, Vice President of tho Atchi-
son. will be followed.
Chief Arthur was asked tonight what
he thought of the decision of the Santa Fe
men to return to work. Il am glad they
went back" he said. II advised them to
go back, because did not think there was
sufficient cause for the strike.n
