PEACE COMES IN A FEUD.
Lee-Taylors Meet at Harlan Court
House in Friendship.
Non. .Combatants Asked Them to Come to
Terms and Forget tho Past-The
Manchester Row Continues.

MrDDLEssoRo, Ky. (speciaD.-The Har-
Ian County feud, which has been source
OF trouble to more than one Governor Of
Kentucky, and which has cost the lives o!
at least six men, has been settled, and
without the aid Of the State militia. For
the first time in many years the citizens OF
that county are resting easy and without
fear OF being killed. A few days ago the
Lee and Taylor factions OF the feui, which
includes large part OF the population OF
county, marched to Harlan Court House
and surrendered their arms and agreed to
return to their homes once more as peace
full citizens.
This is the logical result Of the work Of
the law-abiding and respectable people OF
that section. A week before they organized
at the county seat and marched IN body
to the homes Of the leaders of the factions.
Here they pleaded with both the Lees and
Taylors to return to peaceful pursuits and
to bury their differences with their dead.
They were told what reputation they
were giving the county, and what the ine-
vitabfs result would be should the Gov
'etnor be forced to send troops to queh the
disturbances.
After much persuasion both sides agreed
to surrender their arms. When the fac
tIons met at Harlan Court House, the
county seat, there were stirring scenes.
Men who have been trying to kill one an
other for years erasped hands. Tears OF
joy could be seen trickling down the faces
Of many Of the rough mountaineers.

THE GRANITE WORKERS WIN.
Rockport Company Accedes to All De.

Nockport Company Accedes to All De-
lnands Made by the Strikers.
GLOUCESTER, Mass. Especial 1.-The strike
at the Rockport Granite Company's quar-.
rles at Rockport has ended in favor OF the
strikers, and the men returned to work
under the conditions to obtain which they
struck fifteen weeks ago.
The result was made known in letter
from the Boston counsel OF the Rockport
Granite Company, to Colonel William A.
Pew, Jr., counsel for the strikers, announc.
ing the fact that the company had acceded
to every demand by the workmen. These
include a nine-hour day for five days in the
week with eight hours on Saturday, and
time and one-half to be paid for all over
time. The company also agrees not to
discriminate against any man who took
part In the strike, and also states that 1t
will endeavor to continue in the future as
much winter work as possible.
The strike has been the hardest-fought
battle between labor and capital that this
section has known. More than 1000 hands
have been affected, many OF whom have
left this district and obtained employment
In quarrles in other States. 1t Is thought
that owing to this exodus OF experienced
workers the company may be handicapped
for some time In working its quarries to
their full capacity.
