 Boston. March 14--Instead of one great parade of 20,0UO strikers at lO 0'clock this forenoon, to demonstrate 1he strength of their position to-day, that great force, divided into many bands. was marching to the railroad freight yards, the steamship docks and teaming headquarters before q. m. to resume work. Bostons most exten- sive labor disturbance having been set tied, after a duration of four days. The sun which shone down upon the throng was not more bright than were the faces of the men who realized that the trouble was over. On every side could be heard words of praise for Governor Crane. whose suggestion that the strikers return to their work while possible influence to bring about an ad- journment of grievances, brought about a settlement.
 The business section of the city pre- sented 8 marked contrast this morn- ing to that of the past four days and there was an air of activity on all sides, as everybody desired to make up for lost time. Teams were hurried along loaded with merchandise, drays piled high were making their way across the city, and express wagons and even cabs were loaded to their ca pacity in the efforts to relieve the con- gestion of traffic resulting from nearly weeks accumulation.
 At the railroad terminals there was considerable confusion and it was plain that it would take some little time to readjust matters. The officials were busy and promised to have every thing running smoothly by night. At tne docks work started in with q rush and Iongshoremen and teamsters made rapid inroads on the freight which was p1ed to the roofs of the sheds.
 Both the strike officials, the police and the business men are congratulate Ing themselves on the ending of the strike. especially because yesterday there were more signs of disturbances among the strikers than at any previ- ous tune. Assaults were more freuuent and in Charlestown William Clancey driver of a non-union team. fired a re- FoIFer bullet into a crowd which was following him, slightly wounding 2 boy.
 At noon the impatience of the freight handlers and the longsnoremen began 10 show itself. They were talking strike and accusing their leaders of 1reachery in not making provision for The men to be taken back in body. The Boston and Albany agreed to fake pack all the men at the old rates. The Boston and Maine, Consolidated and the steamship lines have nor vet de clded. This was more than the freight handlers or the longshoremen would stand and by o'clock the strike was on as strong as ever, as far as those two classes were concerned. The labor leaders. the governor and the state board of arbitration are putting forth every effort to prevent too hasty action by the men.
 flynn. Mass. March 14.-Upon settle ment of the sympathetic strike of the Lynn teamsters to-day may depend the success Of the Boston settlement.
