uteol workers In the country bus been
settled In an amicable manner The
members of the general executive
ilioard of the Amalgamated association
of Iron Steel and Tin Workers held
o long session yesterday It started
out with a general feeling that a
Gtrlke would come as the workers
would not concede the only point In
dispute reinstatement of the men dis
charged for joining the union and so
far ns could be learned the otllchils
of the American Sheet Steel company
wore equally determined
During the morning session of the
executive board John Tarrett acting
for the American Sheet Steel company
appeared with n proposition for the
members to consider regarding a set
tlement of the difficulty In general
this proposition was that all men dis
charged from tho Wood plant should
be reinstated Including Ilolloway
and that all but Ilolloway should re
turn to work at once Ilolloway to bo
returned within ton days
The board insisted that ITolloway
should be treated In the same manner
ns tho others and finally Mr Tarrett
changed his proposition to Include
Holloway after three days suspension
and tho agreement was drawn up and
signed
In explanation of the agreement It
was stated that the matter will remain
In exactly the same position as be
fore tho trouble broko out The or
ganization of the locals of the Amal
gamated association among tho em
ployes of tho mill will bo continued
though the company will not recognize
it in any way In dealing with tho men
There did not seem any disposition
on the part of either side of the dis
pute to claim a victory or tho best of
the settlement

say touching publications concerning
the merging or various railway corpor
aliens Into great syndicates mild
Say to the Associated Press that
1 have rend the various statements
published and where there N one
clean cut statement of facts there are
about a dozen statements of erroneous
character It is true that several
large railway corporations are en
deavorlug to mnke closer trallle ur

nieiits Involve the lltirllngton but up
to tho present time here has been
nothing consummated upon which lo
base correct statements
It Is apparent that Mr Hill has
been greatly annoyed by the coupling
of any railroads other than those with
which he has been dealing and he
did not hesitate to say that Interviews
which hail been given out by heads
of such railroads were merely guess
work and contained little truth
