her home in Shenandoah county when

Men Accept Terms.

Newcastle, Eng, July I.-lne
strike of 10000 employees of the
Northeastern Railroad ended tonight
as suddenly as it had begun on last
Monday night. The men accepted the
terms offered by the company, and
the night shifts commenced work =
once The day shifts will report for
duty Tomorrow morning.
The collapse OF the strike followed
quickly upon the announcement that
the Amalgamated Society of Railway
Servants had refused to recognize and
finance the fight against the North
eastern Company. AS this society Is
one of the strongest labor orsaniza-
lions in England, it was at once pre-
dicated that the Northeastern strikers
would be unable to carry their point
without aid. This apparently proved
true, and the situation, which was fast
demoralizing the industries dependent
upon the Northeastern line was end
ed.
The settlement OF the strike came
just in time to effect great relief to
shippers. as well as to the employees Of
many industries which were forced
to shut down. The loss In perishable
goods through the tie-up of the rail-
road was great, while fully $4,000
workers in collieries. ship yards. iron
works and other industries had been
rendered idle. These will go back to
work at once on the opening of the
railroad traffic.
