THE STRIKE SETTLED.

Tho strikers OF she mayer, Str0use &
Co.'s Corset Factory will Return TO
Word Toaay-A Compromise Eject
Cd.
This morning the 300 or more girls who
have been out for the past five days on q
strike. from Mayer, Strouss & Co., will be
back in their old places as though nothing
had happened. and apparently none the worse
for the vacation they have been enjoying.
The matter was quietly settled yesterday In
. manner agreeable to both sides. by q oom-
promise, and now perfect harmony exists be-
tween the employer and the employed. A
committee Of fifteen girls, taken from the
different departments, called at the Office
yesterday afternoon and discussed the differ
emit matters with the firm for over three
hours.
In this time the girls began to see more
clearly the reasons for the cut and that an
increase In speed of the machines would turn
out more work, and In cheaper grades of
goods competition demanded the reduction.
And in turn the members of the firm were
10 favorably impressed with the bearing and
fair demands made by the girls that they
consented to meet them half way, which was
accepted. The compromise is very satisfac-
tory.
The objection that was brought forward to
the weekly tax of Eve cents for the sick benz
cit association will be settled In about
week by vote taken from all of the en-
ployes. This association IL maintained at
the expense Of considerable care and trouble
on the part of the Arm, for the benefit of
those In Ito employ taken i'll.

The Scientists were beaten by the cham.

game, and it was only By the most vigorous
work that the Bridgeport players won The
champions were surprised by the game the
bition of polo and fully appreciated by the
large crowd that attended the game. Con-
nors and Hill rushed and did fine work for
the visitors. New Haven made the home
| team hustle from first to last. Reed played
| q good game at goal for the visitors, having
| twenty-five stops. Dan Shannon, the ball
player, was the referee.
Springfield Victorious.

It WAS finally won by the home team by q
