pay than he thought was due him. 1t is
not known that there was any serious

he would do the same to him. He then
made his escape.

conscious, with bullet in the lower part
OF his right lung. He never regained con-
seriousness, and died short time after

within half hour there were 20 deputies
from Gem out securing the country for

and hunted the man, assisting the deputies
in their search. The blacksmiths from the

San Francisco. Nov. 1.-THE strike
Of iron workers which began in May 20
is nearing an end. About 500 men,
mostly machinists, have returned to
work at the Fulton Engineering and
Shipbuilding works. and 1t Is stated
that all Of the other big establishments
will soon be runnion with full union
crews.
The chief contention of the strikers
was for nine hours work without any
reduction Of the ten hour pay schedule
Since the strike began many concerns
have reduced their working day to
nine hours, and it is asserted that over
fifty shops are now running on basis
satisfactory to the unions.
The boiler makers and other iron
workers involved in the local disturb
ance left their places in sympathy for
the machinists. They were not ordered
out by their national organizations, as
were the machinists, and wherever q
settlement has been made with the
machinists, they have returned to
work.

settlement of the strike is being eff
fected. Some apparently we'll informed
persons state that the men will receive
an advance Of from 3 to per cent in
wages, but others declare that the con-
cession Of a nine hour day means SIM
ply pay for nine hours work.
The only large places in which the
strike is still on are the Union and Ris-
don iron works and ship building
works. There is report that the for
mer employees Of the Risdon company
will return to work in a few days, but
this the labor union people refuse to
affirm or deny.
All negotiations are being quietly
conducted, and definite information Ia
difficult to obtain.
