tcoa,lnu,a from PAYS oas,

Grated committee, representing the eni~
ployees on strike, conferred to-day
with representatives Of President A.
H. Smith of the New York Central
Lines, and settlement was arrived at
conforming with the Baltimore agree
nent'
.1hc employees now on strike viii
return to WORK as rapidly as positions
ca,, be arranrsd for them, all within
thirty days Of the date OF the agree
snent. The arrangement for the re-
t"r. Of the men Is to be worked out
locally between their representatives
and officers o the railroad company
at the various points
Mr. Jewell Joined in the making OF
this announcement, and declined to
add TO it other than to say that he
believed both sides would live W TO
its letter and spirit, ''and especially its
spirit"
The actual rehiring OF the men viii
be in the hands of the railroad Off
cia9 in direct charge Of the divisional
shops, and will be accomplished within
thirty days. The only latitude the
company has is in refusing to take
back those strikers who have been
proved guilty Of committing acts Of
violence. All other workers will be
rehired in the order Of their seniority
standing within their own group.
None of the $4,000 new men hired
to replace strikers will lose their places
as result of the settlement, it was
said at the offices Of the New York
Central. Although the return Of the
union workers will give lhe railroad
1900 workers in excess OF it's nor
nal forces, the company officials expect
that enough work will be on hand to
keep them all employed Much work
has accumulated since the beginning of
the strike despite the efforts o3 the
railroad to keep pace with necessary
repairs. Increased freight trais3 is
also expected to make additional de-
mands on equipment
To keep pace with this demand and |
to catch up on repairs that it has been
unable to make, due to the strike, the
New York CentraJ expects to find use
for all of the shopcrafts workers.
Settlements with other railroads |
have rot passed beyond the possi- |
biity stage as yet, it was said. Strong
company unions" have been formed on |
most Of the larger Eastern roads, with !
the exception OF the Eric, and inlmost !
cases definite announcements have been !
made by these roads that, no at tqnpt !
at settlement under the Baltimore |
agreement will pc made. President !
Underwood of the Erie. however, has /
said that as far as his road is con-
cerned the door to settlement always
is open.

Public Necessities CiUen
Priority on Railroads

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-The Inter
state Commerce Commission to-day is.
sued new service order covering pref
erontial shipments eastward from the
Mississippi and adding mine suppliesi
medicines, fertilizers, seeds. newsprint
paper and petroleum to the list Of com
modities to have priority movement
The order, effective at midnight Sep
tember 20, also permits use Of open
top cars after Che discharge of coal
carried in them, for transportation Of
road and building construction ma
tcrial, ore and mine supplies.
The new order cancels ard super
cedes service order 23, and puts all
coal shipments into the priority class
Use of open top cars for commodities
other than fuel is permitted under the
ruling only W hen their destination is
in the direction in which the cars
are destined for coal loading.
The order was issued, the commits
sion explained, as result Of com
nlaint that various commodities which
in the public interest, should be
handled currently and promptly, had
not been so handled by reason Of Ger
tain ombargocs issued by railroads
during the rail and coal strikes.
The production of bituminous coal
the commission said, in announcing it's
action, 'has increased to approximatc-
ly $500, 900 tons week and should,
with reasonable use, take care Of cur
rent needs, il tonnage, and new stor-
age and waste OF fuel and equipment
are carefully avoided The commits
sion, therefore, feels that it can now
relax its previous order"
