LONG PENDING STRIKE ENDS,
Machinists and Blacksmiths Win In
Fight With o. p. Railway.

A telegram was received at the headquar-
tiers of the International Association Of
Machinists in this city last evening from
Omaha. Neb. announcing the settlement
of the machinists and blacksmiths' strike
on the Union Pacific railroad. The tele-
gram also stated that under the terms Of
the agreement reached between the con-
ferees, who began sessions Monday morn
ing and closed Wednesday, the piece work
system will be abolished Immediately and
all strikers will be reinstated in their
former places. Nothing as to the details
of the settlement or as to when the men
will return to work can be ascertained. It
Is thought however. that work along
the entire system will be resumed not later
than next Monday morning.
The strike just ended was declared June
80 last year because of an attempt on the
part of the railroad officials to inaugurate
a piece or premium system. When the
trouble first developed it concerned the
boilermakers, blacksmiths and machtnists
all of whom, numbering about 1,O0O laid
down their tools the day named. The strike
SO far as it concerned the boilermakers was
adjusted several weeks ago, Immediately
following which conferences which have re-
suited in settlement were arranged be-
tween the railroad and union officials.

GOVERN MENT w IN s
DECISION IN SECOND-CLASS MAIL
RATES CASES.
Decree of the Lower Court Reversed
Effect Will Be to Increase the
Postal Revenues.

The Court of Appeals of the District OF
Columbia has decided the second-class man
matter cases in favor of the government,
reversing the decision of the lower court.
The Court of Appeals of the District lac
this afternoon handed down an opinion re-
versing the decision of the District Supreme
Court in the case of Houghton & Miffiin,
publishers, against the Postmaster General
This case is one of the famous cases IN
yolying second-class mail regulation, the
firms named being the publishers OF The
Riverside Literary Series" which the POST
master General barred from the second
class mail privilege. The publishers Cd
tanned a restraining order through the DIS
trict Supreme Court en1oining the poslaI
authorities from ruling the publication OH
the second-clasS list.
The case was appealed by the Postmaster
General and arguments were had In the
Court of Appeals some time ago
The Court of Appeals handed down a
similar opinion reversing the District SUI
preme Court in the case of the Bates ana
Guild Company, publishers of"Masters In
Music" against the Postmaster General
This case was similar In almost every re-
spect to that of the Houghton & Mifnin
case. -
The decision in this case is opposite to
that given in the railway list case, which
publication had also been barred from the
second-class mail privilege and was re-
stored by order of the District supreme
Court In deciding that case the Court OF
Appeals affirmed the decision of the lower
court.
The two cases decided today are only TWO
of a number of similar cases now before the
District court The decision announced
means the saving of vast sum OF money
TO the national government through higher
rates of postage charged publications ruled
off the second-class mail list.
