STRIKERS RETURNED TO WORK.
The strike OF the Iron Workers was of
but short duration. II would seem for the
reason that only day has elapsed since
the men were called out and yet this
morning they were at work again with
no visible sign OF the disturbance that
took them away from their occupation
yesterday.
The return OF the men TO work does not
Indicate that the matter IL by any means
settled, but simply that II is under ad-
visement from the officials In Boston and
tor the present the men are TO return to
their employment and await further de-
velopments from the source OF all the
trouble.
The fight Is on between two employ
ment associations on the one hand and
the International Association OF Bridge
and Structural Iron Workers on the
other. over what is supposed TO have
been breach OF contracts concerning
wages, hours, etc. IL is claimed that the
Employers association had broken the
agreement. The employers feel that
there might be other complications 60
arise In the matter for the reason that
since tho agreement was made con-
vention OF the Iron Workers has been
held and new constitution formed
which calls for different Arrangement
than that which exists under the od con-
tract. That being the case II was thought
wise to force issues and settle the mat
Ter. II such were possible.
IL Is not thought that there win be
any other complications TO arise from
that can be brought into the controversy

instructions from New York are awaited

Adjuisnt GsreTaI Sackstt States
General Hall Did Not Crltlciss
Rhode Islanders.

In connection with the criticism Of the
militia contained in the annual report OF
acting Adjutant General Hall, at wash
inston. which was made public yester-
day, statements were made that "elimi-
mating the men unfit for military service
and those unable TO go TO the front for
logical reasons. the report says that only
about 80 OF the original company is n fair
estimate OF the number OF men OF each
company that were finally received into
the service OF the United States" at the
time OF the war with Spain.
Adjutant General Sackett when seen
today stated that did not refer 10 Rhode
Island particularly. for when the call
came the militia was composed of many
companies, of small numerical strength.
The requirements had not been stringent
up to that time and there were many
men who could not pass the physical test.
I'VE had better plan than Offering the
militia" he said. I'VE called for volun-
teers which served just as we'll
The companies required by the govern
ment call for 10 men and those we had
were only 80 or 40 men, and rather than
put In a lot OF raw recruits 10 al out
the quota we started new companies and
drilled them into shape together"
The other states, when the war was
over. admitted this plan was the better
one. too "
General Sackett said further: 'Srhe
strict requirements I'm vogue at present
would enable us 10 take a different course
in time OF war for the companies are full
er and there Is very little doubt. that We
could put at least 80 per cent OF our men

stated. 'and talked with General Hall
on this subject. and from what l heard,

The militin In many OF the southern
states was what he referred to- / think"
and the general referred to this section of
the report:
I'm some cities OF Virginia. Georgia and
Louisiana. the newspapers have preju-
diced the minds of the militia mep by
their distorted views. The fear Is cx-
pressed In some southern communities
that under the presidents order white Ma
tional Guardsmen might be compelled to
serve under colored commander and still
others believe that they are state troops
and should not be ordered for duty out
side the state"

ther legislation, the belief IL expressed
