The understanding arrived at Is the
result of several proposals from both
sides and went into effect this morning
The men applied at both the EDDY
street and Point street yards of the COM
pany and were checked in as fast as they
came. not a union man being refused a
job.
II was stated at the Point street yard
this morning that several more than the
IS agreed upon had been already checked
in by the company.
Not a man left the Point street yards,
and after the Eddy street yard received
it's complement the rest who applied
there went up to the Point street yards
and were set to work.
The Central Labor union will meet to-
night and there is no doubt 1t will vote
TO take the name of the Eastern Coal
company off the unfair list
The police reserves have been removed
and they are as glad as anybody that the
trouble has been settled. They Will not
be compelled to accompany any more
circus professions up Westminster strcet
and all over the city.
