A Strenuous Effort to BE Made to Settle
the StrupyIa.

the Struggle.
A Boston special says: The prospects
of an harmonious adjustment of the
Lynn morocco strike and lockout,
pending for over five months, were never
brighter than at present.
Mayor Fogg, who is interesting him
self in the movement to heal the breach,
says: 81 have hopes of bringing about
some settlement ere long of this strife,
which is so detrimental to the business
interests of the city. have interviewed
several manufacturers, and find there is
willingness to settle the matter. The
workmen are willing to go back On any
terms that will not lower their manhood
and it will be my jealous endeavor to
aid in putting an end to the difficulty"
The main difficulty is that the manu-
facturers will not treat with the work
men as knights of Labor. If the strik-
ing and locked-out employees can OBJ
tain recognition for their organization
they would undoubtedly return to work
upon almost any terms.
1t is thought that over 500 men of the
estimated 1900 who were thrown out of
work during the earlier part of the
strike and lockout are at present unem-
ployed.
Thomas B. Mcguire, general lecturer
of the executive board Of the Knights of
Labor, has been in conference for sew
eral days past with leading manufact-
urers, and his efforts to bring about
settlement of the difficulty are meeting
with considerable degree of success.
Mayor Fogg has determined upon a
definite plan of action. He purposes se-
curing committee of three representa-
tive citizens to wait upon the msnufact-
urers and see if something cannot be
done to settle the trouble. The board
of trade will be asked to intercede in
the matter.
