FALL RIVER, Mass. Jan. 27.-The strike at
the Iron Works Mills is at an end. The spin
ners returned this morning, and the two mile
that they had crippled wero started on full
time. Some of the spinners went in yesterday
afternoon and the others decided to follow their
example. Those who had gone to work at other
mills went back to their old places. 1t is said
that the officials agreed to keep the reduction to
the figure agreed upon, IL 19 per cent.
1t was expected that this strike would be Of
short duration. for the action of the spinners
was not united. Those in No. 4 mill. where tho
trouble began, were determined, but only two
thirds Of those in No. 3 mill Joined them. and it
was impossible to prevail upon tho spinners in

CHICAGO, Jan. 27.-The joint convention Of

agreement which will prevent a general strike

lege. of run of mine" as may be desired BY

PITTsBuRG, Jan. 27.-The result Of the inter
state mining conference at Chicago ia looked
upon as a victory for both miners and operators.
The miners are already talking Of having a big
parade in this city. to celebrate their victory.
Operator Jones said:
The most favorable view I take of tho mat.
ter now Is that 1t precludcs the possibility Of
another strike. There will be no further need
for worry and anxiety on the part of the opera
tors. Some people will think we didn't worry.
but we did. Why, at the present time we have
been compelled to carry 100000 worth of coal
on the river in case another strike was. de-
clared. We had to have 1t there because there
was no saying at what moment the miners
would quit work. Now we can sell that coal.
''The operators have won n great victory in
having the Ohio diferential wiped out. That
was the one bane Of our existence, and now that
1t Is no moro, the result will be better markets
for Pittsburg coal and more work for the min
ers."
