STRIKE CALLED OFF
COMPROMISE BETWEEN RAIL
ROADS IN ENGLAND AND THEIR
EMPLOYEES BROUGHT ABOUT.
Settlement Declared by abor Leaders
to be a Victory for Trades Union
ism, IN Increase in Wages Being
Granted the Men.

London.-A great wave of relief
swept " the country Saturday
night, when, shortly after II o'clock,
the announcement was made from
the board of trade offices that tho
railway strike had been settled and
that the men would return to work at
once
kilograms were quickly dispatched
to all important railroad towns bear
ing the information and crossed in
transit messages to London describ-
ing riots in Llanelly and smaller
towns in the kingdom.
The cabinet had been working night
and day since the strike was threat
ened to arrange a compromise be-
tween the railway managers and their
employees. Most of the credit for the
ultimate success of their efforts ap,
pears to rest upon the shoulders Of
David Lloyd George, who, in his
statements to parliament and in an
interview with the managers and the
men, worked for Cancellation when all
otherS OF the interested parties seem
ed to have given it up.
So far as technical advantage in
the compromise goes, it appears to be
in the mems favor, particularly as
the managers consent to meet their
representatives.
Messages were sent to 1900
branches of the labor unions, saying:
''The joint committee has settled the
strike. 1t is a victory for trades
unionism. All men must return to
work Immediately"

RESULTS At CAPITAL
WHAT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED
DURING EXTRA SESSION OF
NATIONAL CONGRESS.

lures Of Leeislation-The Tar
III Bills in Discard.

Washington.-The net results of the
extra session of congress, in eompar-
ison with the ambitious programme
adopted at the outset, were not large.
Canadian reciprocity was brought as
near reality as the executive and leg.
islative departments could advance it:
statehood was assured for New Mex
leo and Arizona; campaign publicity
legislation was enacted in a form sat
~fsfactory to its most earnest advo-
catesi provision was made for an en-
larged house of representatives, based
on the latest census, and a few other
measures OF minorA importance were
passed.
A Democratic house, the first since
1895. seized on this session as a We
hlcle to convey to the country the
views of Democrats on tariff revision,
but executive disapproval rendered
futile all efforts to impress those
views on the statute books.
Two tariff bills, one materially re-
ducing the duties on wool and wooden
goods of all classes and the other
placing on the free list articles of
machinery and tools used by farm
ers n amended to include many
Items, were vetoed by President Taft.
A cotton revision bill awaits a SINH
lar fate.
The house, under the leadership of
Representative Underwood of Ala
bama, chairman of the ways and
means committee, and Speaker Clark,
~endeavored to pass the wooden and
free-list bills over the veto. but the
necessary two-thirds vote could not
be mustered.
Trust Investigations without num-
Der were instituted during the SEES
sion and some of them, notably those
bearing on monopolies in steel and
sugar, were prosecuted with vigor.
They still are in progress.
Constructive legislation to zeal on
federal regulation of corporations is
regarded as certain to come from
these inquiries. Plans already have
been instituted to revise the anti.
trust laws.

foreman is to retain his Job. The
Ioreman's wife is held responsible for
the housekeeping and cooking for the
men.
Despite his habit of close supervi-
sion, he allows great freedom, of ac-
ton to his most trusted higher en-
ployes. He is often generous to peo-
pie who have no claims upon him.
The cook at every ranch has orders
to feed every person who stops there
hungry-and to ask NO questions.
Anybody who reaches one of his
ranches at night may stable and feed
his horses. lodge in the ranch house,
and eat with the employees, without
charge and without question. A man
who needs meat may kill a sheep or a
calf from Mr.. Miller's herds, provided
he uses the meat himself and does
not sell 1t. OF course, these things
are more than generosity; they are
a protection against the spite of
tramps and the depredations OF
thieves; but they indicate a pretty
broad-minded man. too.

Once he was robbed in Pacheco
pass by a Mexican. who took $500
from him. Mr.. Miller knew the man,
and reminded him that he was a long
way from home and asked the high
wayman to lend him enough for ex-

$40 gold piece and disappeared. Sew

"Oh. yes, you did. ! borrowed $40

And he made him take 1t.
But he is a fighter, too. He has

town near his ranches, and he will
fight any legal dispute to the last re-

Having Recognized That Election
Hinges on One Issue.

Toronto.-The election campaign

Ontario, the great industrial province
of Canada, by the visit of Sir Wilfrid
Larier, the premier, and r. l.. Bor-

sides it is TO- recognized hat reci-
procity is the issue.
Even Mr., Borden has declined to
make his campaign an attack on the
ffteen-year record of the government.
Instead of undertaking he will win or
lose on the reciprocity issue.
Although the election has been
sprung suddenly more than 100 con
ventions were held last week and
rival candidates were named in near
ly every constituency.
Hon. William Patterson, minister of
customs, one of the commissioners
who negotiated the reciprocity agree
ment with Washington, has been re,
nominated in Brant.' Although he has
held the seat for forty years, a spe-
cial effort will be made by the con
servatives to defeat him. Judge
Fisher, member of the Ontario legis-
%lature, has resigned and will run
against the minister of customs. He
is acknowledged to be a strong man,
and the result will be a battle royal.
