Settlement.
News Times Special service

News Times Special Service
ELKHART. IND. March 19.-Up
TO noon Monday no official commun>
ication had come to the local rail-
road brotherhoods regarding the
settlement of the threatened rail-
road strike, news OF which was ex-
clusively carried in Monday morn
ing's South Bend News Times.
There is no change officially"
said one Of the men in charge Of
brotherhood headquarters. "All the
information we have is what is con-
tanned in the press dispatches"
Asked if the reported basis of
settlement-an eight-hour day with
time and one eighth for overtime
would be satisfactory to Elkhart
brotherhood men, the official at
headquarters declined TO make any
comment.
News of the settlement of the
strike came as a great relief 10
local shippers. No freight for ship
ment had been received by either
the n. Y. c. or Big Four railroads
since Friday night, and the embargo
threatened to affect practically every
factory in the city.
Embargo is Lifted.
At the y. Y. c. and Big Four
freight offices it was stated that the
embargo had been lifted and that
the roads We're again taking on
freight shipments.
The transfer lines were put TO a
herculean task to meet the demands
for the moving of outgoing freight.
The congestion in the local freight
houses also offered a problem to the
freight handlers.
The complications arising from
the few days embargo gave an in
sight into the disaster that would
have attended a general tie-up.

given out after the agreement was
signed:
I'VE desire TO express our APP |
probation of the large and patriotic /
act Of the railways mems committee /
which has put beyond peradventure
the possibility of nationwide rail- |
road strike.
The railroads have met the full |
demands of the AdamsOn eight-hour !
law. This concession was secured as |
the elimination of two days and two /
nights of negotiations.
Our first effort was TO secure I
postponement of the strike which /
was fixed for Saturday night. This I
postponement was secured by pre- /
senting 10 the railway managers a /
memorandum, drafted by the bro /
therhoods which with some particu- /
Iarity expressed the provisions OF I
the Adamson law. We asked the /
railways TO agree that if the Adam |
son law was held 10 be cOnstitu-
tional that this construction and I
application would be given 10 II. I
The railways agreed 20 this at a /
Joint session Of the brotherhood 4
chiefs and managers and with much !
difficulty the chiefs stayed the strike, 1
an act which was vital TO the sue
cess Of our efforts at effective medi-
alton.
Put up TO Committee.
We next sought some adjustment /
that would be effective should the
law be held unconstitutional. IL /.
this regard many propositions were
made 10 both sides but none was
acceptable until the railroads eX-
pressed a willingness 10 place the
whole matter in the hands OF this
committee. This act proceeded. as
the letter OF the railway managers /
states. from a desire TO demon
strate 20 the country that the rail-
