End of the Strike.

Chicago. MAY 20 There is but one
hitch to the pending settlement of the
teamsters' strike, and that is the ques-
ton of the express drivers. The union
wants better terms for them. Ii is
believed the strike officially will be
called off tonight. The employers H.
sued statement of terms shortly after
one o clock this morning, through Levy
Mayer, the attorney. The terms were
delivered at the end of long conference
to Cornelius II. Shea, president of the
teamsters' union. Shea, accompanied
by A. j. Reed, local labor leader, i'm
mediately met the leaders of the team
slers' joint council.
The general understanding is that the
strike practically is over, that it will
BIZ ended within "a hours, at the latest.
The terms offered by the employers we're :
That the stores affected by the strike
will re-employ as many of their old
employers as there are vacancies, main
tanning the "open shop"
That the express companies may take
back few of their older employees, but
only few, and in their own discretion.
That the employers teaming company
will continue to employ only non-union
men.
That other employers will take back
strikers if they need them.
In other words, it means the estab-
Iishment of the "open shop" or "open
stable" as related to teaming.
LATER.
Chicago, May 20. THE strikers have
accepted our terms and will go back to
work as we want them to-" announced
Levy MAYER, attorney and spokesman
for the employers this morning, imme-
diately after conference with the labor
leaders. This is the employers official
announcement of the end which came
this morning. 1t was predicted yester.
day that the strike would be ended be-
fore night. Today saw the prediction
realized. The terms proposed to the
strikers were the reinstatement of the
men as soon as expedient. The en-
ployers claim a complete victory. They
say the strength ofthe union has been so
shattered that unionism Throughout the
country will suffer. Mayer thus exult-
antly commented on the settlement :
"This means the beginning Ofthe end of
the end of the power of organized labor
in Chicago. Having vanquished the
giant OF the unions, the employers are
now ready for the pigmies. They will
be treated in the same manner"
The teamsters have lost in wages, $780,
900. The unions have been assessed
$3.50, 600. Employers estimate their
shrinkage in business and railroad earn
ings and other losses at nearly &c.,
600, 900.

ONE OF the Panama commissioners Il
quite mistaken when he says that the
decision of the administration to buy
American goods at export prices or to
buy foreign materials for the canal work
may shock the public" 1t will do
nothing of the kind. What shocks the
public is that the benefciaries of our
high protection are selling abroad at
lower prices than at home. If, says the
Philadelphia Record, the foreigner can
get the low prices and if the government
can, what justice is there in permitting
these benefciaries to exact high prices
from American citizens?
