Jim was usually the very first at al
festive occasions and the last TO leave.
An hour after the latest arrivals had
made their appearance jim had not
come.
Wonder gave place to alarm then
and . committee Of three was appointed
to go to Jim's cabin and investigate.
The light from the window streamed
down the path and the visitors found
no difficulty in reaching the cabin
though the night was dark.
In response to their knock they were
invited to enter, and within they found
Dandy Jim seated In the corner In the
deepest detection.

The Settlement Arrived at by Concessions on
Both Sides, the Manufacturers Conceding

Homestead Plant, After Their Employer
Had Been Placed Under Arrest.
IRoN-wonKs TO RESUME.

Differences Between Manufacturers and En-
ployes Settled and the scaie Agreed To.
PITTsBURG, Aug 10.-The differences be-
tween the iron manufacturers and the
Amalgamated Association have been ami
cably settled by mutual concessions, and
the threatened strike of iron-workers in
this city and the West has been averted.
Fifteen mills will resume at once, and the
other plants will start mp as soon as neces-
sary repairs are made. This is the
result of the conference of the JOINT com.
mittee of iron manufacturers and members
of the Amalgamated Association to-day.
The conference met at 11:40 o'clock this
morning, and after three hours session
adjourned for dinner At o'clock this
afternoon the committee met again, and
continued In session until 1880 tonight,
when an agreement was reached, the scale
signed. and the conference finally adj
journed.
By the terms of the agreement the basis
of pudding remains at $3.50 per ton, but
the men In the finishing departments have
been reduced 10 per cent. There are few
minor concessions in the other depart
ments, but just what they are cannot b
learned tonight There was q hard fight
on the pudding scale, but the manufact-
ure-s finally consented to pay the old
scale. upon the workers conceding the re-
duction In the finishing department.
Work will now be resumed here as soon sa
it is possible Co get the mills in operation.
While the settlement directly affects the
$4,000 or $4,000 skilled workmen IN the
Amalgamated Association. fully 100000
others are interested. The news OF the
signing of the scale was received with
great rejoicing, not only by the mlll-work-
ers but every one in this vicinity. The set
tlement only Affects the Pittsburg district,
but it is thought that the manufacturers OF
the Shenaugo and Mahoning valleys and
the West will fall in line and sign tho
scale. 1t has been learned that under the
agreement the rate for pudding and roll
ing will remain the same as last year ex.
cept in the plate department. which will
be reduced from ~ cents to GO cents. The
extras in this department., however, will
be paid on the basis Of the old rate OF 72
cents. The roll-turners will receive 50 per
day. AS stated before, the PittshnrC mills
will resume at once. and the valley and
Western mills will likely follow in lew
days. In this city there arc about fifteen
thousand skilled workmen. and as many
moro W no will be given employment by the
resumption of operations.
The settlement does not affect the Home
stead strike directly In any way. The
Carnegie Steel Company was not one OF
the participants in the conference. They
steadily refused to join with the other
manufacturers in their efforts TO reach an
agreement without strikes.
