Roller Makers Still Out.

North Yakima, Dec. 1S.-Settle-
ment of the trouble between the
boilermakers and the Northern Pa
cific railroad appears to be as far off
as ever at present, despite assertions
made by railroad officials that this
week would see the old hands return
ing to work. The boilermakers have
agreed to accept the 4S15 cents per
hour offered by the company, but
will not return to work unless the
company recognizes the union, which
the railroad officials decline to do.
Because Of this the settlement of the
strike appears to be very far off.
