CHICAGO, April i0.-The great
strike Is now thing OF tho past, anu
the mon who walked out Will Walk
back again, aud nine,y.nine out OF
every hu dred Of them will WORK ior
the same wages and the same number
of hours as before tho strike. FOR
twelve hours today the results oil tho
maintaining expenditure OF more than
$40, 200, 900, the good name OF mighty
Latlon and its pledges OF the nations OF
tho earth were imperilled and enuan-
pered, while the men who reaped tue
benefit OF that money argued with the
men who controlled 1t over question
of 8 c.n,s an hour and the right OF men
TO think and act as they please within
the law. IL took cool heads aud tenn
perate blood TO guide the dispute to u
successful Issue, but fortunately these
elements were not lacking.
The frat step looking toward peace
was made when committee ofstrikers
submitted 10 tho council OF admins.
tfAtion u proposition TO arbitrate. The
council was In session anu promptly
returned the answer that II was
prepared 10 meet the men ut ones. To
this tho committee agreed and the
result was lengthy meeting. All
points Ia the case were gone over aud
at 10 O'Clock tonight the council pre-.
scented to tho executive committee OF
strikers resolutions declaring that In
the employment OF woTkmen or aT-
tisans the representatives Of the union
or organized labor shall be entitled TO

ment aud solution OF the present
controversy; that men who have gone
ON strike shall return to work Mt once,
and the stipulatlons OF said resolutions
shall continue In force and he opera

exposition. These resolutions were al
once signed by all the members OF the
strikers' executive committee, repre-
seniing 5000 or 1900 laboring men,
ana the trouble was over.
The strike was m attompt to
uuionize the iair-nothing more and
nothing less. Two years ago when
the labor representatives made q
demand that noe but union men
shoald be employed ut tho fair they
were asked II they could guarantees
that the unious could furnish enough
men at all times 10 enable work to be
prosecuted without delay. After
taking nm account OF stock
they were forced TO confess
that the unions were not strong
enough to furnish all the men the Ex.
position might require. They were
then Informed by the National com
mission that tho government could
not and would not discriminate against
men because they were or were not
members OF "a labor organization. This
ended the argument on the union
question aud the matter was dropped
until two weekn ago when the uniont
put in n demand that non.union men
be discharged. II was refused, and
then the trouble began which cui.
minated In today's strike.
