Wednesday, 1st March, 1916.

We are glad to be able to state that the
strike has been ended by a compromise be-
tween the Planters and the Labour Union.
rhe labourers are returning to the estates
and we suppose the crop will soon be III full
swing. The arrangement between the par
ties has not been published, but we have
been informed on good authority that the
wages accepted by the Union are &c cents
for 4 days work and 35 cents for each day
in case the labourer works for 5 or 6 days.
We are told that there are other concessions
which have been obtained from the planters
by the Union, and we suppose that in due
time they will be made public.
The advance in wages is 40 q if the la
bourer works for 5 days, and 20 u if for 4
days or less, and this arrangement holds
until November, when tae wage question
will be up again for settlement. We hope
that when the time comes an amicabie agree
ment may be made between the Planters and
the Labour Union.

Bridges Washed Out In Severe
Storm

Dodgeville Sun Republic: A terrific
electric storm swept over this part of
the country Thursday night. It was
accompanied by rainfall that approx
mated a cloudburst, it being reported
that % inches Of water fell. Many of
the streets were small rivers for a few
hours. Considerable damage was done
by the water in some localities. Two
of the railroad bridges on the Illinois
Central between here and Jonesdale
went out and no trains could come
thru until Saturday evening, when the
freight came thru.
The fine new concrete bridge near
the Len Blotz place at Garrison's Grove
was a heavy sufferer, both wings
being taken out. Another bridge, the
one near the Blotz cheese factory, was
entirely taken out.
