The ending of the mschinists' strike,
 in Chicago, Philadelphia, Cleveland, and
 Paterson, N. J., which threatened to paralyze the iron industry, and which
 would naturally affect all branches of
 manufacturing if it continued, ia 8 mat
 ter for general and hearty congratula-
 tioA. So good an authority as Superin-
 tendent Cushman of the local Rubber
 factories told BEE reporter that if 1t continued 1t would doubtless make dull summer in his line of business. The settlement is triumph for common sense. It relieves all branches of the iron indus try of an incubus which threatened serl- ously to interfere with the prosperity of the season. It saves the allied trades unions from the payment of relief funds likely to empty their treasuries, and it will prevent an enormous amount of suffering among the families of the men. But 1t is even more important as 8 soci- ological development than as a promise of immediate good times in great in- dustry. The original contr oversy in this case was discussed by two committees, one representing the employers and one the unions. Those committees agreed upon a board of arbitration before which the differences between the sides should be heard and whose decision should be
 final. That was great step toward peace, but it's effect was marred by a small dispute. The unions refused to call of the strike and send the men back to work while the arbitration board heard the evidence and reached its de- cision. The employers wanted their foundries started to fill orders and this refusal of the unions ended negotiations and led to the calling out of machinists in five cities. Apparently, the negotia- tions were resumed during the strike, because now the men announce that they are willing to go to work pending the decision of the arbitration board. The have agreed to concede the nine hour day before the arbitration board and that was the chief point in dis pute. The others will be heard in the committee. The labor unions in the cities affected are holding jubilee, and small wonder. The strike for five weeks Is estimated to have caused them loss of $45o 900 in wages.
