Won THEIR POINT.

sThe great strike is ended.
hat sentence is received with
nc, ne grand acclamation of JOY. Il
What threatened to work q terri.
lie calamity, and has, to q con-
siderable extent, Interrupted
,usiness and advanced the price
.,a;. is now settled. For the
r,ast five months the miners have
been holding out for what they
believed to be right and just;
they labored incessantly with
the coal operators to come to
terms, but all was in vain. Pub
lie opinion all over the country
was greatly stirred up, and the
ablest and brightest minds OF
the nation endeavored to bring
abouta a satisfactorily settlement;
but their efforts We're fu-
tile: and finally President Roose
yelt took hand in the matter.
He summoned both sides before
him. and President Mitchell Of
fered to submit the matter in
dispute to an arbitration COM
mission, which the operators re-
fused to do. This was the only
proposition Mitchell could offer.
The operators were stubborn
and acted like a balky horse.
Finally the operators agreed to
Mitchell's plan, which was rati.
fed by the miners convention
yesterday, and tomorrow the
miners will return to work and
arbitration board will commence
it's mission in a few days.
The above is brief synopsis
of the great strike. Now to the
point we wish to bring out,
namely, that the cause Of union
labor has scored great triumph,
and il means more than this. 1t
means that trades unions have
rights which must be secured tc
them. The day of oppression is
passing. Labor should receive Q
lust and fair compensation, and
when combinations Of capital en-.
deavor to throw upon the labor
| ing man that which is not right.
then shall labor assert itself in
all its might.
The course adopted by Presi
dent Mitchell throughout this
long struggle has been a manly
lone, carried on in diplomatic
manner. His name viii go down
lin history as one who stood firm
lily by his convictions and won fol
his followers the laurel of victory
This great strike has givei
rise to many theories as to th'
settlement of difficulties tha
may arise in the futuae.
There should be a nationa
Hoard of arbitration to settle al
lsuch matters, and trades unions
lshould be chartered by law, will

main question is, would 1t not %

There would be no such thin

the two acts abolishing the war reve-
nue. taxes internal revenue taxes have

refunding of taxes paid upon legacies
and requests for uses of a religious,
charitable or educational character,

Congress having provided for the pay
ment of a drawback or rebate on all
original and unbroken factory pack
ages Of smoking and manufactured to-
bacco and snuff and cigars held by
manufacturers or dealers on the first
of July, 1901, 49,364 claims have been

STRIKE IS CALLED OFF.
Central Labor Union of Havana
Reached That Decision.
Gen. Gomez Did Not Spare Words
in His Condemnation of the Ac-
ton of the Union in Order
ing the Strike.

Havana, Nov. 25.-As the result Of
between the police and the men on
strike here, two strikers are dead and
81 other persons are wounded. Five
of the wounded one a lieutenant Of
police, whose throat was cut by strik-
er, have very severe injuries. Eight
other policemen are wounded. The pO-
lice have rioters well under control,
but every precaution is being taken to
prevent further outbreak of disorder,
and all the police and rural guards in
the suburbs have been summoned to
concentrate in Havana.
The strike, which at first only con-
cerned the cigar workers, became gen.
eral Monday morning by the calling
out of all trades in sympathy with the
cigar makers All the trades people
closed their doors Monday morning,
clerks, cooks and every class of work
men having obeyed the command Of
the union except the mOtormen and
conductors of the electric cars, who
refused to join in the general strike.
Havana, Nov. 26.-The Central La
Dor Union Tuesday night decided to
call off the strike and committees were
appointed to inform the various unions
of the decision. There probably will
be complete resumption of work
Wednesday
Much of the credit for the settle.
ment of the strike is due to Gen. Co
mez, who headed the committee which
consulted Tuesday the officials of the
Havana Commercial Co., against whom
the strike was first directed. After
the conference Gen. Gomez and the
majority of the committee expressed
themselves as satisfied at the stand
that the company had taken. The Off
Gals maintained that they had not
Disseminated against Cuban appren-
tees, the fact being. that the compa-
ny's books showed that over 80
per cent. of it's apprentices were Gu
bans. The company would maintain
and even increase this ratio, but it re-
fused to treat with the Central Labor
Union in matters pertaining to its
employees. The officials said that they
always were willing to meet a commit
tee made up of workers from their
factories and they agreed to open the
factories again if the men returned to
work.
Gen. Gomez and the committee aft
erwards met the Central Labor Union
and the old warrior did not spare
words in his condemnation of the ac
ton of the union in calling out the
workmen. He said it was a revolu-
ton and not a strike and that the war
veterans stood ready to take up arms
in support of the government in or
der to maintain order. That ended
the strike as far as the Central Labor
Union was concerned

TRAIN RoRBERIEs.
AZ An Industry 1t Is To Be ThrottIed
BY the Railroad Companies.

Chicago, Nov. 25.-Train robbery as
an industry is to be throttled through
concerted action of railroad and ex-
press companies operating from head
quarters scattered throughout the
middle west.
Local officials Of some Of the roads
directly interested through incidents
of this character which are of recent
origin have been spurred to drastic
measures. The Davenport robbery CT
the fast Chicago, Rock Island & Pa
cific train was the straw that broke
the cameIs back. The railroad COM
pany, in conjunction with the United
States Express Co., issued a joint re-
ward Monday Of $4,000 for the arrest
and conviction of the men who robbed
their train early Saturday morning.
In addition the Burlington officials an
nounced that a dead train robber
would be worth $1,000 to any of its
employs.
officials of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul, Illinois Central and the
Chicago & Alton road conceded with
this plan and declared that they would
not hesitate for an instant to bear
their share of any burden brought
about by a concerted movement to
eradicate the evil.
