BOSTON STRIKE broken UP.

Final Arrangement.
1T WAS A GRAVE SITUATION.

Boston, March 15.-Through the
united efforts of representatives of the
great mercantile bodies of the city,
seconded by the chief executives of city
and state in conference with the recog-
nized leaders of organized labor, the
great strike of freight handlers and
kindred trades represented in the
Allied Freight Transportation Council
was broken Fully 10000 men, who
had been idle for four days, are at
work.
This result was attained at con-
ference at the Office of Governor Crane.
The decision was at once reported to
the Allied Freight Transportation
council at special meeting and unani-
mously Endorsed.
All of the old men for whom places
can be found will be taken back by the
railroads, but, owing to the suddenness
with which the strike was ended and
the large number of new men who have
been installed, it is likely that many

Transfers and longshoremen will
find an unprecedented demand for
their services, and traffic of all descrip-
tions, which has been virtually at a
standstill for three or four days, will
be resumed with a rush.
The day was filled with conferences
between representatives of the various
labor unions, and the city's business
interests, in which Governor Crane,
Mayor Collins, Secretary Easley, of the
National Civic Federation, and the
state board of arbitration took impor-
tant parts. Everyone was fully i'm
pressed with the gravity of the situa-
ton and felt the absolute necessity of
an immediate settlement.

The INDIAN IN MoDEhN AOvERTIS.
ING


Along the line of the Santa Fe
through Oklahoma, Indian Territory,
New Mexico and Arizona are found
many tribes of peaceful Indians, whose
strange costumes and unique mode
of life are very interesting to tourists.
The Pueblo Indians of New Mexico
and Arizona, including the rowing Ma
vajos, are perhaps the best known and
most frequently visited. The Moki
Snake Dances and the various feasts
of the Indians along the Rio Grande
river have national reputation.
In fact, the Indian is now somewhat
of fad, and of late years his blankets,
pottery, baskets and silver ornaments
have been eagerly sought after by col
lectors.
Recognizing the advertising value of
the Indian. the Santa Fe has recently
placed in the windows of its Offices at
Kansas City. Chicago, st. Louis. New
York, Boston, Philadelphia and At
Ianta, some very fine collections of In
dian curios. 1t is also decorating
many of it's offices with paintings of
Indian subjects. All this in the belief
that announcements in newspapers
and magazines can be strengthened by
the pictorial art and by attractive
window dressing.
1t is expected that by mid-winter
arrangements will be perfected for the
giving of Navajo and Moki Indian
dances at a point on the Santa Fe line
in Arizona, the through trains being
stopped so that passengers may have
an opportunity to witness these dances.
