the effect that the Nicholson File COM

A number OF the leaders in local fnan-

porter for The News and although most
of them admitted they were cogniant OF

When Col. Samuel p. Colt was seen be-
fore he left on his trip he declined TO
have anything TO say about the matter
and said that Mr. Nicholson was the per-
son to see in regard 10 the matter.

It is understood that in the conference

on which the labor men will lay great

SETTLEMENT EFFECTED.
New York. July l4-No new phase Of
the meat strike in this city developed
over night and the meeting today of the
strikers organization. was the only fea-
ture expected to bring forth anything of
interest. Several OF the meat firms had
received a carload of meat during tn.
night and today about the only signs Of
activity were the unloading OF these by
the clerks and other members Of the Office
force.
There was a sentiment about the pack
Ing house district as we'll as about the
strike headquarters that a settlement
would be reached today or tomorrow. 1t
was said, however. that the effect on the
meat prices would be felt for two weeks
at least. The price of beef was advanced
again today and 1t is expected will be i'd
vanced each day until the strike is over.
The increased demand for poultry. eggs
and vegetables caused by the lack OF
meat has raised the prices of these ar
ticles
Hotels and restaurants have begun to
feel the effect OF the strike and prices
are being advanced In all eating places.
In. the poorer sections OF the city, on
the East Side many OF the butcher shops,
unable to procure stock have been forced
to close their doors. In the tene-
ment house district many families are go
ing without meat altogether.
Up to the present the strike has been
directed only against the big western
houses which canstttute the so-called beef
