RuiIdino Trades Strike Settled.

New York, June 3.-As a result of a
conference today between representa-
tives of employers and employees. the
building trades war in New York is
practically ended, and the men are ex-
pected to return to work Thursday or
Friday.
The truck drivers and laborers em-
ployed in the yards of the material
dealers are to return to work under the
conditions which existed before the
strike began. Recognition of their un-
ion is to be waived, and the men are to
return as individuals. They will retain
their organization and their represen-
tation in the United Board of Build
ing Trades, but the board will not at
tempt to enforce the demands of the
drivers that only union men be en-
ployed in the yards.
1t is expected that the terms of set
tlement will be formally ratified by the
United Board of Building Trades to-
morrow and signed by both sides
Thursday morning. Under the terms
of settlement 100000 workmen in the
building trades in New York are ex-
pected to return to work. The employ
ers have gained what they had been
contending for inasmuch as the truck
drivers and the men who handle the
materials in the yards are to return to
work under the same conditions that
existed before the men were locked out.

MINERS MAY SUSPEND.
More Trouble Threatened in the An
thracite Region.


ySilk asharre Pa. June 3.-Another
strike cloud loomed up on the horizon of
the anthracite coal region yesterday.
The executive boards OF the unltea
Mine Workers in session here endorsed
the selection of their three dlstrict
presidents on the board of Cancellation.
authorized by the strike commission,
and if these members are not fecog-
nized by the operators, the executive
boards will contemplate calling con-
ventton of mine workers to declare a
general suspension OF WORK until their
members are given recognition.
The district presidents issued state
,pent last night on the dispute, setting
forth the refusal Of the representatives
of tho onerators to recognize them or
the Mine Workers credentials, or ac-
cept them as members of the concilia-
ton board. They assert that the oper-
ators objected on the ground that the
mine workers representatives were ap-
pointed by their organization as IL
exists in each district.
The district boards are still OF the
opinion that they appointed their repre-
sentatives as provided for by the sec
ton of the commission award and vot-
ed unanimously yesterday to re-affirm
their former action. The district Off
GERS have been exceedingly anxious to
have the conciliation board form and
meet for the purpose of adjusting many
grievances which have accumulated,
and TO this end have bended their en-
ergies. Two questions were under con-
sideration by the meeting yesterday
one is to make application TO the nation
al president OF the mine workers TO is
sue an order for a general suspension OF
work thruout the whole anthracite
region, to continue until the operators
agree to adjust existing grievances and
live UP to the award of the anthracite
coal strike commission; the second is
that a delegate convention be called to
consider the advisability of taking the
above action.
Another meeting will be held today
TO decide as to whether Il suspension OF
work shall be ordered.
