ENSLEY PLEASED AT
ENDING OF STRIKE
New Independent Association Formed
There Largely Responsible for
Resumption of Activities

Due to the efforts of the Independent
Association of Builders and Contractors
organized in Ensley few days ago for
the express purpose of settling the big
strike, all the strikers in the western
division of the city and the majority of
those in the entire district. will return
to work this morning or by Monday morn-
ing at the outside.
c. S. Mosley, president of the associa-
ton, stated last night that all the men
effected by the strike would return to
work Saturday. No grievance existed
against the Ensley contractors, who had
been paying the scale asked by the union
all along, the question simply being mat
ter of having responsible organization
with which to deal. To remedy this con-
dtion and effect a return to former pros
porous conditions the new association
was formed.
Mr. Mosley stated that Immediately
after the refusal of the contractors to
arbitrate. the agreement between the m
dependents and the Building Trades scoun-
ell was signed, and all who wish to sign
UP with the unions will now have to do SO
as individuals or join the new organ
ization.
The people of Ensley are most happy
that a settlement has been reached, as
many buildings were in process of con-
structon and number of others ready
to commence work when the strike put
an end to activity in the building trades.

all were well cared for.

join waters and go rushing through
the Blue Ridge mountains, and after
seeing the winding Tennessee and the
scenery viewed, it is, l think, unsur-
passed.
OF most interest to the veterans
were the battlefields of Chickamauga
and Lookout mountain. on the battle
field of Chickamauga, more than 10000
soldiers fell dead, dying and wounded.
If there can be such a thing as an
ideal battlefield. it is on these grounds.

THE RECENT REUNION


Chattanooga is certainly a hospitable
city,. said Detective Will Murphy last
night on his return in company with De-
tectives Goldstein, Williams and Cole
from that city in which they had been
detailed for the last few days to work in
conjunction with the Chattanooga police
at the Confederate reunion. The big re-
union of the aged veterans was a great
success and was handled marvelously
well. There was no confusion although
the crowds were greater than had ever
seen.
'One feature that struck me was the
hospital service Several ambulances We're
always within call following the veterans
about and as soon as one dropped out
of the line of march he was picked up
