CHICAGO STRIKE BROKEN.
FIFTY THOUSAN OMEN WILL AR.
RANGE TO RETURN TO WORK.
Bricklayers and Stonemasons Took
Initial Move to End the
Lockout.

Chicago, June N-The backbone of the
great building trades strike in this city is
broken. 1t is now only a question of hours
when the $4,000 workmen, who have been
idle for months, will be arranging agree
ments for their return to work.
The initial move for ending the lockout
was taken at 2:15 o'clock this morning by
the bricklayers' and stonemasons' unions,
the strongest labor organizations in the
building trades which voted, after an all-
night session to withdraw from the build
ing trades council. The council will be no.
titled this morning of the withdrawal Of
the bricklayers. This afternoon the arbi-
tration committee of the bricklayers will
meet the arbitration committee of the Chi
cago Masons and Builders association
and sign a working agreement to extend
to April, 1902 and the bricklayers will inn
mediately be given work.
The action of the bricklayers union was
the result of the report of the conference
committee. in which a recommendation
was made that the union sever its connec- -
ton with the central body, because that
organization had been unable to bring
about settlement of the labor troubles.
AS the bridge and structural 1ron-work-
ers, gas-fitters plumbers. plasterers ana

of quitting the trades council for over a.
week. they will now, in all probability, Iol-
low the course of the bricklayers: me

sian support and depend upon a speedy
breakup of the concert through jeal-
Ousies and intrigues. Owing to the slug
gishness of the admiralty in giving
out dispatches the American press is
able to get official news from China in
advance of the English papers, since
nothing is held back by the navy de-
partment in Washington.
Press dispatches available at mid
night were meagre, but it was fairly clear
that the allied forces had been greatly
strengthened by French, German, Jap
anese and Russian troops; that the
march to Tien Tsin had not been at
tended with serious los sand that the
plight of the foreigners there had not
been so serious as had been supposed.
1t Is not known with definiteness Wheth-
er Admiral Seymour's force marched into
Pekin and carried the ministers and refu-
gees out with them or whether they were
sent out under the escort of their own
guards but the opinion prevailed at mid
night among well informed members of
parliament that catastrophe had been
averted and that the military and ma
val forces, while not sufficient to secure
permanent occupation of Pekin, were
adequate for the immediate protection of
the foreigners in Tien Tsin. Mr.. Broder-
ick and Mr.. Balfour were closely ques-
toned in the house of commons respect
ing China, but their information was ap-
parently second hand The government
was clearly unprepared for the crisis
which has arisen, but has pulled itself
together and is hunting in the dark for a
policy.
