Washington. May 2S-The special
committee of SIX members of the
house, appointed upon complaint of
the American Newspaper Publishers
Association, to investigate the wood
pulp and print paper situation in re
lation to the tariff and an alleged
conspiracy in restraint of trade, to-
day submitted a majority and minor
ity report.
The majority report, which was
signed by Mann of Illinois, Mill of
Kansas, Stafford of Wisconsin and
Bonnou of Ohio, recommends that
there be no Legislation on the ques-
tion until the committee has further
Investigated ana reported.
The report SAYS that the evidence
% far before the committee fails to
grove any combination TO advance
IL at there was considerable evidence
= iich might excite the suspicion that
sIch a combine tion had been made.
The report also says that the tenn
porary removal of the tariff will not
have any great immediate effect, and
that, if removed at any time, it
should be coupled with the right of
free expor.atlon of wood from Ca
madam forests.
The minority report, which is
signed by Sims of Tennessee and Ry-
an of New York, recommends the
passage of the Stevens bill to place
wood pulp and print paper on the
free list.

Many of them will speak against

was settled late Wednesday night. The
strikers will begin to go back to work
next Monday, and within two weeks
1t is expected that all Of them will be

The settlement, which grew out OF
the conferences held by General Super
intendent d. C. Noonan and the gen.

reached at a meeting Of the unions in
volved Wednesday might. The accep-

Settlement Compromise.
The settlement was in the nature OF
a compromise, both sides recedinS
from positions taken early in the year
during the progress of the strike. The
principal points involved in the set
Element are as follows:
The company is to re-employ and re-
instate all of the strikers. The senior
ity based on the length of employment
is to be cons idered as 1t has heretofore.
The company signs a schedule with
each OF the unions involved, which
means that the shops will continue to
be union or closed shops, as before the
strike.
The machinists, boilermakers and
carmen receive an increase OF cent
an hour above what was offered by the
company last spring. The scale then
offered by the company, which precipi-
tated the strike, was a marked decrease
compared with the wages that had
been paid
The men are to return to work as
vacancies occur, and until the shop
forces can be rearrange9 they Will

covered by the clauses reinstating the
strikers, the Oldest employees are to be
returned to work first. 1T is estimated
that about half of those who struck
will be put to work Monday with the
.nen working in the shops. AS fast
as arrangements can be made others
OF the strikers will be given places,
so that by the end of about two weeks
1T is expected the entire striking force
will again be in the companys serv-
ice. A number OF the non-union Ia
borers employed in the shops here are
under sixty day contracts with the
company. Most Of these contracts will
expire during the next two weeks.
Schedules Practically the Same.
The schedules under which the men
will work will be practically the same
as they were at the time the strike
was called. There will be no material
change made in these documents

which the men work, the scale Tor
overtime work and other similar feat
ureS.
Scale Of Wages.
The scale of wages includes an in
crease OF / cent for the machinists,
boilermakers. and carmen. The pay for
machinists of the first class will be 81
cents an hour. The reduction from 40
TO 36 cents WAS what prectpitated the
strike While the wage is / cent over
what was in force when the strike was
called, it is cents below the scale be-
fore the reduction was made
The boilermakers of the first class
are TO receive 3S cents an hour. The
company reduced the scale from 41n
cents to 81, which brought about the
strike.
The carmen receive cent an hour
more. The scale, which Is sub-divided
into almost score of different wages,
ranges from s2.s6 day for engine and
car carpenters, to $1.96 10 day for car
repairers.
There is no change in the black
smiths wages, 1t being based ON a slid
ing scale. regulated by the fires.
Will Work Day and Night.
The shop force is ito be greatly in
creased, and it is expected that within
two weeks 1t will be materially larger
than when the strike was. called. In
addition to q day force a night force,
as large as can be economically
handled, ds TO he put to work so that
the motive power can be put into
serviceable shape as soon as possible.
Will Send More Engines Away.
The company is under contract with
shops elsewhere to repair and rebuild
a certain number OF locomotives and
freight cars. Many OF these have all
ready been sent. but only enough more
will be shipped away to- these shops
to fill out the minimum number re-
CURED by the contracts. When this
minimum Is reached all the repairing
of locomotives and cars will be done
here.
Work Shops to Full Capacity.
The new car and paint shops. which
have not been occupied to nearly there
full capacity, are to be put in full OPP
Grafton as soon as possible. This de-
partment has probably come nearer to
being at standstill than any other
of the shops. The mill department Of
the car shops has only been working
part OF the time, with only part OF
the machines Operating.
To Govern Clashes Between Men.
The expectation that clashes might
occur between the strikers and the
non-union laborers now working in
the shops, during the period OF time
when IL will be necessary for many
of them to work side by side, has been
considered In the settlement. Such
clashes, should they occur, are to be
judged and handled as tho there had
been no strike. and the aggressor is to
be responsible to Master Mechanic 9.

Will Probably Affect Lockout.
1t is probable that the settlement Of
the strike here will affect what started
