all directions. His legs are small, his

the Great Struggle.
wANaMAKER THE ARBITRATOR.
Strikers Ratify His Action at a
Mass Meeting.

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 2i--The great troll.
ley strike is ended. This is final. John
Wanamaker is the man who brought
about the settlement, Succeeding where
oil others failed. He vfas aided in the
work by members Of the Christian leaugue.
The basis Of the settlements rs follows:
Flrst-While the Union company will
only treat with the workmen in its EN-
ploy, 10 will allow them membership in
any lawful organization.
.sSecond-It 1ll take up all griovences
and give them full and fair consideration.
Third-It will, so far as IL has vacant
places, Immediately put on the old men,
and as fast as vacancies arise will give
preferences to any Of the old men yet un-
employed, and endeayor 10 arrange the
trips of the cars to favor the old men as
far as possible without violating It's con-
tracts with the new men.
Both Sides Make Concessions.
The questions OF compensation and
hours are left for future determination.
Concessions were made by both sides The
strikers reported for work this morning.
Mr.. Wanamaker submitted the ideas
embraced in the settlement to the strikers.
They accepted them, and In turn submit
ted them 10 the company. Considerable
corresponds nee and many conferences fol-
lowed. and late yesterday afternoon an
nouncement was made that both sides had
agreed to the terms To properly round
out the matter mass meeting OF the
strikers was held last night for the pur-
pose Of ratification. Here the strike was
officially declared OF. all the leaders We're
called upon for speeches and there was q
veritable love feast.
Thus ends what has probably boen the
most remarkable strike in the United
States. 1t lasted exactly one week, and it
cost the compahy and the strikers thou
sands of dollars. The loss In fares alone
to the company is estimated at $3.50, ,ooo
Apart from the destruction of cars and
other property there has been consider
able bloodshed, although, fortunately, no
fatal results.

"You don't want ter think we've got

til midnight is tough lines.
There are two parcel delivery firms In
town and In ordinary seasons they run
four and one wagons respectively. About
this time, however, they double up, not
only the working hours, but also the num-
ber OF wagons. And then they have no
more than enough TO go around As q
rule, while person pities the little
jaded nag trotting ahead of these natty
little vehicles IL never occurs TO him TO
pity the driver, for the parcels are not
heavy. But as matter OF fact the in
creased numb Der TO deliver increases the
nu m ber OF times the young man has to
alight from his wagon and Jump up
again; increases the number OF stairs and
steps TO be ascended and descended, the
mum her OF questions TO be asked, etc,
etc. How great physical tax this must
be, as wei! as a nervous strain, can be
imagined by remembering that each man
has district to be covered three times
day. and he delivers from 30 TO 100 parcels
each time. Multiply that by the eight or
nine wagons employed and the result
shows quite a bus ilcss in delivering par
cells alone. Then there is the danger Of
breakage. Each employe is responsible
for anything found broken in his care.

pesky doll carriages are always getting
broken" as one remarked. doll car

Santa Claus insists on great many OF
them being delivered just now. Many OF
the parcels, in fact, most OF them, come
from tho store, OF course, and are collect
ed by one OF The delivery wagons. All
the others have to wait for that wagon TO
get in and as collecting takes almost as
much time as sorting and delivering, the
boys start out two or three hours late
around Christmas time. That Is why
they are late IN at night, and those who
have TO care for their wagons and horses
don't like 1t; but then it's bread and but
