TIE UP MAY End
In NEAR FUTURE
Strikers to Vote ON Return.
Ing TO Work
ATMOSPHERE SOMEWHAT CLEAR
ViCe-PreSideIt Voorhees, Orders That
President Baer'S Agreement Must
Strictly be Carried Oa!

Reading, Pa, July 6.-The Pailadel-
phia and Reading employees in this city
and other points along the line who
went out on a strike for higher wages,
and 9-hour day, did not return to
work yesterday morning owing to the
action of the general meeting at the
Grand Opera House Wednesday even
ing. when the settlement was called off
on account of the alleged breach Of
faith on the part Of the company in
reference TO the return of every en-
ploye TO his place, as if no strike had
occurred.
The leaders state that the action OF
the men in deciding to stand by the
men at the Wayne Junction shops,
whose places had been filled, was
unanimous. and that they will not go
to work until a settlement has been
reached which will protect every en-
ploye. None Of the men went to work
yesterday morning and the unions
were holdingin line every member who
had gone out with them in the first
place.
In the afternoon. for the first time
since the strike. two months ago, the
management received a committee of
its men. Overtures were made for a
settlement. but the conference was
without result. Negotiations may con-
tinue for several days. The company
offered the Duddlers 81 per ton and
the others a proportionate increase.
The bone of contention is the recogni-
tion of the union.
To-days meeting Of the striking shop
hands will be most important. They
will vote on the question of returning
TO work. The telegram from Vice
President voorhees, that the terms of
agreement made with the strikers COM
mittee by President Baer, will be car
ried out. has somewhat cleared the
atmosphere. but there is still an ele-
ment that faors a continuance of the
strike.
IL was hinted from a semi-oficial
source late last night that peace con-
ference had been held secretly in New
York between J. p. Morgan, c. NJ.
Schwab and others high in the United
States Steel Corporation with Persifer
i. Smith and John Jarrett, of Pitts
burg. in attendance This being the
case, it is more than likely that a re-
ply to the ultimatum OF the Amalga-
mated Association will be Ia the hands
Of officials to-day in time to be dis
