 HUGE STRIKE MAY SOON
 END
EIGHT THOUSAND UNION MEN. WHO HAVE BEEN IDLE SINCE CHICAGO TROUBLE BEGAN WILL RETURN TO WORK THIS MORNING.
10000 STILL OUT OF WORK
TWELVE HUNDRED CONTRAC- TORS SIGN AGREEMENTS TO MEET DEMANDS OF THE UN- IONS AND WILL TAKE MEN
 BACK; OUTLOOK IS BRIGHTER.

CHICAGO, April 25.-Eight thou sand men that have been out on strike for some time will return to work this morning, and it seems that the labor troubles that have been agitating this city for the last few months will reach a peace able settlement within a few days.
 Twelve hundred contractors sign ed agreements with labor unions yesterday to take back their men, and it was due to this agreement that the workers will return to their employment today. The men were taken back under the wage condi tions that they demanded when the strike was called, thus, as far as these contractors are concerned. the labor unions have been victorious. Many of t1e men who will return to work tomorrow have families, and these have been suffering as re su,t of the prolonged strike.
 In spite of the fact that so many contractors have resumed work, al most all the lumber yards in this city have closed, and it is an nounced that they will not be re opened until after the labor problem is finally settled. The closing down of the lumber yards yesterday caused 900 to lose their jobs.
 IL was announced in the local newspapers this morning that there Is total of about 10000 members of the allied trades unions that are now out of work. This does not in clude the lumber yard employees who lost their jobs yesterday.
 OPEk-SHOP STRUGGLE
 The struggle in the present diff ficulty seemed to be for the pur- pose of determining whether the unions would dictate wages in this city in the future or if Chicago would be and "open-shop' town. From present indications, it seems that the unions will win out
 From the first, the employers took the stand that they would not submit to the demands of the un ions. and locked out their former employees. Then they agreed to stand firm and declare for the elim- ination of unions. Accordingly agents were sent to various other cities to seek competent men who do not belong to the unions, to take the places of strikers.
 The strike however, has interfer ed with almost all other classes of business in the city, and pressure has been brought to bear upon em ployers through indirect sources to work for peace.
 The carpenters unions are taking the lead ill trying to bring the matter to a final settlement. Some of the unions have agreed to set tie the differences between the men and the employees by board of arbitration.
