STRIKERS RETURNING.
They Expect to be All at Work
in a Short Time,
EVERYTHING RUNNING SMOOTHLY.
Mr.. Gausiin, Chairman Of the Flremon's
brotherhood, Says the Men Are Very
wen Satisfied with the Terms Of the
Agreement.


BETHLEHEM, Pa, Dec. s-Most Of the
employees of the Lehigh Valley railroad in
South Bethlehem who left the service Of
the company when the tie up was ordered
have now sent i'm their applications for
work again While the terms are not al
together as satisfactory as the men eX-
pectod, the majority of them seem dis
posed TO accept the decision reached by the
chiefs of their brOtherhOods as the end Of
the matter, and say there is no use now
In showing dissatisfaction or stubborn
ness, but that they will endeavOr TO get
back to work as quickly as possible. The
officials of the company say they will em-
ploy old hands as they are needed, and
many of the strikers are already at work.
General Manager voorhees, when ques-
toned in reference to reports that there
was considerable dissatisfaction among
the men mt different points on the lines
over the terms ON which the strike was
declared off, and that many would refuse
10 return to work, said:
There was naturally some feeling Of
disappointment when the men learned
the terms of the agreement but appliCa-
tions for work are coming in all over the
road. Everything today is running
smoothly, and it will only be a very short
time before the affairs of the road win be
in the same good order as before the tie
up"
Chairman Gauslin, of the Firemen's
Brotherhood, said today that he was very
well satisfied with the terms of the agree
ment, and thought the men were also. II
there had been dissatisfaction among the
sX strikers at Easton he said he had not
heard of il, and was sure the tales told
were eNaggerations.
"Of course, said the chairman, there
are some hot headed ones who viii stick
out to the last among the Brotherhood
m embcrs, but such actions now are very
unreasonable and useless We know that
all the men cannot be employed at once.
The company rolling stock is not i'm CON
dition now to hire all themen who struck,
even though it desired to do So But we
believe that Mr.. Wilbur is a man of his
word, and that the men win be taken
back as quickly as work is found for
them. That seems to be the impression
among all the men, and they feel conf
dent that before long they will all be back
in the service of the Lehigh Valley"
MAUCH CHUNK, Pa, Dec S.-1'he strike
is all over here. All the old men have re-
ported, ana ABOUT One-hall nave already
been employed A non-uniou crew de-
serted train about a mile above here last
evening. The Brotherhood men all expect
to be at work in n weeks time at the
farthest The best of feeling exists be
tween the officials of the company and the
strikers.
The striking railroaders at Hazleton re-
oeived official notice of the settlement
last night. TO the last minute they had
refused to accept the reports published as
authentic After deliberating oyerit they
fled their applications for work, The re
suit was not satisfactory, as many of the
men will be out OF work for some time
ROCHESTER, n. Y, Dec S.-F. w Prem
tice, deputy grand master of the Order Of
Railway Telegraphers, said TO the Associ-
ated Press representative; "If the company
takes one of us back it must take us all,
otherwise the settlement made on Tues
day is void To all iutents and purposes
the strike is still on.
JERSEY CITY Dec S.-Twenty-two brake
men, two engineers and two fremeu have
been taken back by the Lehigh Valley
company in Jersey City. About fifty
strikers are still unprovided for in Jersey
City. 1t is commonly believed that they
all will be taken back gradually, as the
new men are said to be unsatisfactory
