great labor strike, which has clogged business
since July p. was welcomed by both employers
and men, and, although some trouble has oc-
CURED in the practical adjustment Of the diff
Guilty. 1t looks though next week would see
all branches Of business running smoothly. AL
ready there has been relief from the congestion
Of shipping in the harbor and the great block
ade OF railroad freight is beginning to be lifted
While the Transfers Union. which ordered the
original strike. has preserved it's union, all the
vital essentials Of union principles have been
lost. The strikers have been forced to agree to
return and work side by side with non union
men They have also signed a compact not to
begin any agitation Of any sort for one year
After that time the employers will recognize

ployers will deal directly with individual en-
ployes. AS the strike was ordered because the
employers refused to discharge non-union men,

OF business. but they were forced to pay 81. 500
daily for special police protection for their
non-union employees. The strike was marked
by much violence and the end by a system of
terrorism that even the large police force was
unable TO cope with. Every day nom union men
were hauled from trucks and beaten, or way
laid on their way home by gangs of strikers
and brutality handled. This violence culmi-
mated last Sunday morning In pitched battle
between the strikers and five special police off,
