having apparently been settled At the
solicitation of the union leaders the ex-

had agreed, however. to communicate
with the Offices in New York as to

rock upon which possibly the peace
plans might be wrecked. Anticipating
a refusal by the New York officials of
the express companies to modify the
stand taken by Chicago representa-
tives in this conjuncture.
Labor leaders might endeavor to cen
ter a fight upon the express compani. S,
lifting the ban from all other en-
Germs, but definite steps in that
direction were taken, however, pending
a reply from the higher officials of the
express companies.
Opinions vary as TO the number Of
strikers who will be reinStated now
that the teamsters' strike practically
is ended. but the general belief is that
35 per cent is conservative figure.
This estimate comes largely from the
union sources. The employers main

placed the percentage of strikers who
would get their old places back at even
q lower figure.
