SETTLED.
The Strike at New Orleans Declared or
Terms of the Settlement.

The Strike at New Orleans Declared Of
Terms of the Settlement.
New ORLEANS. Nov 12.-The strike
was declared off Friday. The ANAL
gamated council virtually surrendered.
They abandoned the demand for recog-
milton of the union and agree To arbi-
trate the questions of time and wages
and to allow the merchants to
re.ain the men employed. They
ask, however, that union men be
not Disseminated against in the future.
After some haggling the merchants
agreed to this. The parties to this
agreement declare that they will use
their best endeavors to adjust any
differences which may result or may
have resulted from any strike made in
sympathy with the strike hereinabove
referred to, in accordance with the
above terms. The arbitration clause
is to be effected within the next forty
eight hours.
There is intense indignation among
alarge number of the workingmen over
the manner in which the strike was
settled, and the committee of five rep
resenting the interests of the laborers
is openly denounced and charged with
treachery and having sold out
the labor element.
The street car companies have about
broken up the car drivers union and
the contract that was broken will UNI
doubtedly remain so. The companies
will employ new union and non-union
men Unfortunately. All the ring
leaders on the street car lines have
been d scharged and the unions are so
badly disorganized that they cannot do
anything about the matter
Business is gradually being resumed.
None of the non-union men are being
discharged. The colossal failure of the
strike means that the backbone of the
unions is broken and that the American
Federation of Labor is out of business
in this state

miles north of this city, took fire. All
the means at hand were used to handle
the fire, but without avail, and
the fire departments of Oil City

had gained such Roadway that they
could do little The building was al
most totally destroyed, together with
its contents. There were some terrific
scenes. About 100 inmates were in the
institution. Many of them were help
less or worse, and the rescue of these
poor creatures was accomplished with
great difficulty. Had it not been for the
prompt, vigorous and courageous
methods adopted in many cases there
would have been lives lost. The
ground was covered with snow and a
bitterly cold wind was blowing.

warmly clad and able to resist it. The
ill-clad paupsrs, many of them feeble
and ailing, suffered dreadfully
The fire was first discovered in the
second story and its origin is unknown.
When the alarm was given and the
people who came early to the rescue
rushed into the building TO begin the
removal of the inmates many of the I'M
fortunates resisted fiercely the attempts
to take them from their warm quarters
out into the winter weather. They
could not be made to understand that
they would be roasted alive if they did
not get out, and there were struggles
to overcome some of the more able
bodied inmates and carry them out by
force.
The building was valued at 100000
and was insured for $50, 900 The fire
is believed to have been incendiary.
