Springfield. Mass. April 2.-The
striking employees of the Springfield
Street Railway company returned to
work last evening following a mass
meeting of the members of the troll
leymen's union in the Auditorium, at
which it was voted to resume work
pending an Investigation by the state
board of conciliation and arbitration
of the cases of the three employees
who were discharged on charges of
alleged irregular accounting. The
company's proposal to install transfer
registers eliminates one grievance, and
leaves the matter of reinstating the
discharged men the only matter in
controversy.
The agreement to place the propo-
sition of a resumption of work before
the strikers came at q meeting in the
Kimball that lasted all morning. John
III. Reardon of Worcester, a member
of the international executive board;
President Patrick j. O'Brien of Di-

Bringing Strikers Together.
AS soon as the Kimball conference
was over, the union officials began to
make arrangements for bringing tho
strikers together. Mr.. Reardon and
President O'Brien used the telephone
at Central Labor Union hall to make
arrangements for bringing .out-of-toNvn
strikers to the afternoon meeting.
Special cars ran into the city from
Palmer and Westfield to bring the
strikers from those cities to the Audi
forum. Striking motormen and con-
ductors manned the cars.
No Signs of Disorder.
There was no disorder Plans had
been made to have the cars run by
strike-breakers today if the con-
ferences failed.
The mass meeting Of the employees
remained in session until $3.50 o'clock.
About forty-five minutes after the
men voted to return to work traffic

to return to work and sixty held out
to continue the strike. Normal traf-
fic conditions were restored today.

These women have hitherto received
but a small part of the profits de-
rived from the high prices paid for
laces here by foreigners, most of tn
profits going to agents and merchants.
1t is claimed that when a lace collar
was sold here for thirty francs the
woman who made it received only
$50 francs, as maximu UNI, for her Ia
Dor. The German bureau proposes
now to remedy this discrepancy. It
will not be allowed to make a profit,

and by offering laces cheaply in Ger

profits, that previously went to the
