From Both Sides
The labor situation in Boston is ex-
tremely perplexing. To give weight 10
statements of labor men, who spoke
without authority. that harmony is no.
restored Is to make the outlook far
critical than at any time since
the allied freight transportation toun-
Gil began its fight against the r. s.
Brine Transportation company. Gov
ernor Crane in summing up the pres
ent status OF the strike, says:
The situation looks very much more
encouraging than last night. The rail-
roads have all agreed to take back as
many men as possible without discrim-
ination. AS far as the steamship lines
are concerned, l understand that the
men have returned, or practically all
OF them. The railroad companies will
not consent to discharge men whom
they have hired in place of the strik-
ers, but they are well disposed to the
men and are very anxious to take back
as many as possible. The question
OF the loading and unloading of teams
while It came up incidentally, was not
very much discussed.
