After nearly two weeks devoted to niws meetings the bettor sense of the strikers pre li vailed nnd the mon yesterday resorted to ar 10 bitration , the course that has been repeat olII edly advised nnd urged by Tun BEIJ ever IIt since the inauguration of the strike , t- tc The first move looktii ) . ' toward n settlement c- cof was made yesterday morning , when the mon ted sent n representative to Mr. Barton to sco nt ! d what time a conference could bo had with la him by n commlttoo. The hour was llxod nt if 3 o'clock In the afternoon , nnd nt that tlmo n ifU commlttoo often , headed by Hov. John IDt Williams of St. Bnrimbns church , and accompanied t- about of the men t10 companied by forty , 10y marched down to th.i foot of Douglas street. The mon stopped under the bridge , but the t- committee nnd the clergyman went on to the tt ; t ofllco or the smelting works , where they found Mr. Barton and Mr , Nash ready to confer with thorn. Ilaoon AViisn't In It. The oniclals were not prepared , however , for one feature of the proposed conference. Among the members of tbo commlttoo was Jnmes Bacon , nnd as soon as Mr. Barton .saw him ho promptly ordered him out of the building nnd oft the promises. "I will not confer with you ns long us that man is present , " Mr. Bnrton declared to the commlttoo , "nor with nny commlttoo of which ho la a member. " Bacon saw nt n glaneo that tlio president of the smelting company meant Just what ho said , and at once turned to leave , ordering allot his companions to go with him. Itwasnn unexpected turn of affairs to thorn , and they manifestly did not relish It , for they hosl- tatod several seconds about complying with Bacon's order , but novtm of thorn finally turned and tramped out of the door nnd down stairs with him. The other two , John Walsh nnd M. JJontmnn , refused to go , and remained behind to intelligently discuss tno cltuntlon with their former employers in the interest of everybody concerned. While Bacon and his companions xvont bacK to rejoin the men under the bridge , tlio llulo I party In the ofllco adjourned to the balcony overlooking the scene , and there the confer ence was hold nnd tno words were spoken that bid fair to put 051) men at worn again ore many suns hnvo risen. There were present ttio four gentlemen nbovo mentioned , two reporters nnd three oftlcors , and the conference laitcd fully an hour. It was ronlly surprising to find out , nf tor the talking was fully under way , how slight were tbo differences botwcon the cooiuauy * nd the mon. DKTorciiucs Very The committee stated what has boon al ready made known to the readers of TIIK BKB that eight hour's work was not wautod by all the mon. Mr. Barton said ho was willing , nnd had teed ready nil tbo tuno.to grant eight hours' work for the men employed on the blast fur naces and roasters. Ho wanted ono tiling understood , however , and that was that the men must coiuo back as they wont out , or not at nil. Ho wns ready , ns ho had over been , to do what was right by the men , and ho ro- grottcd that the matter had not boon settled Inside the works instead of allowing outsid ers to Interfere and complicate matters. When asked what mon ho would give eight hours , ho ngaln replied all funmcemon and roasters , nnd replying to a query as to what men were Included In that ho said that it meant everybody employed about the blast furnaces nnd roasters furnacomeu , tappers and pnt-lmulors. Mr. Walsh nt once stated that there had evidently been n misunderstanding , as the mon did not know that the pot-haulers , who are the hardest worked men about the worki , wore Included. Ho was assured that this bad been tun company's Intention from the start , and if the men lind misunderstood it , it was an unfortunate mistake. Ho said that ho could not allow eight hours' work in the refinery , but this was something that the committee said the men did not demand. Thus ono point of the controversy was mot uiid amicably settled. DlHGUHsliiK tlio Pay. The question of pny wns next touched upon , nnd Mr. Barton said thnthohad learned ona thing slnoo the trouble began , and it was something that ha thought would bo now to the mon. It was ttuit tno men would have boon losers in the aggregate If they had secured - cured Kansas City prices , as tboy had de manded at the outsot. "I offered to send nny ono of your rnon to Kansas City , " ho said , "and wo were to adopt the Kansas City prices as reported by him on his return. To this your committee agreed , but subsequently backed out. I have learned that Kansas City pays the furnace mon fi n day , but the roustabouts , of whom there Is n largo ponccntugo , receive only $ ! . " . " > nor day. The lowest rates wo have paid Is 51.05 a day , so you can sco that they do not pny as high a rate as wo hnva been doing. They employ a largo number of negroes who wont for less money thnn our mon would bo willing to do. I do not propose , however , to hold the monte to that proposition regarding Kansas City prices , but will do what Is right. " Tbo obnoxious contracts were next dls- Oussod. Both Mr. Bnrton and Mr. Nash said that they did not think that they wore worth the paper on which they were written , from a legal point of vlow. "Then why did you want the mon to sign them I" asked the commlttoo. ' Simply to protect ourselves ns well nso could , mid because everybody else was doing It , " replied Mr. Bnrton. "If that plan of geometrical progression Is good nnd the law can certainly bo construed tnatsny , uny of the men could get mad'and quit at nny time , nnd then sue us for nn amount that would simply swnmp us. Wo bollovo the law to bo unconstitutional , but admitting for the snko of argument that it Is not. these contracts would bo legally worth- Mais , so far ns either party Is concerned , but they would give us some moral protection. Wo could then to 'Didn't say you , you on your honor as n man ngreo to work without nny such ruinous claim for overtime1 ! and the contract would show it. It would , as I said , give us moral protection , but not legal , if thin law 1 good , and that is the best wo could do. The contract would not hnvo interfered wltn the mon In the slightest degree , and I cannot sco what there wns about It objectionable , If , as you say , the wen had no thoughts of muking any such claims. It would not have prevented any man from quitting whenever ho chose , mid I had no idea that there would bo the slightest objection to It. " "The mon certainly had no Intention of claiming that double pay , " said Mr. Walsh. 'In fact , I am sure it never entered them minds. Some of the mtn cot it Into their heads that they writi xlgnlng nway some of their rights nnd privileges us free American citizens , ana that they would not do , al though they were ready mid willing to go on at the same noun and p.iv as before If they ' could do so without signing the contracts , I did not sign oun and never was askud to. " "Well , I wai , " said Mr. ISoatninn , "and I signed it , too , and I am not ashamed of It. I nra free to acknowledge every net ol my life nnd I did not object to signing It , " Kl lit Jlomii TuUctnl Ovor. Hcvertmg airain to tbo eight hour law In pouorul , Mr. Walsh touched UIHIII the fact that the government hud had an eight hour law foi its employes for twenty-threo years , and it must therefore bo constitutional. Bo- ildos thu , certain states hud adopted It nnd Nebraska hud Just fallen In lino. "Wo nro In business to uiako money , " said Mr. Nash , "and If a state legislates against us , It Is simply an act In favor of another Itato. Bupposo the works were moved outy J n mlle nnd n linlf across the rtvor , although Lhoy will never go over there , wo would not hnvo to contend with such n law nnd there ore other states where It would bo the sumo. " "Well , n bofflnnln ? must bo made If wo nro ever to have n national eight hour law , " ar gued Mr. Walsh. ' True,1' admitted Mr. Na h , "but that Is Just the troublo. If the law wivs general wo would not mind It. But ns Jong ns our com petitors do not hnvo it , wo can not hnvo It nnd successfully compote with them. That is Just where the shoo pinches. If all the other states had It around Us wo would not say n word , but would full gracefully Into line without a murmur. Buj , the law Is not general nnd that Is where it works us such un Inlustlce that wo cannot put up with It. " Thus ho various phases were discussed , nnd the committee finally returned to their companions promising to submit the state ments of the oftlctids for tholr consideration , Mr. IIiifton'H Proposition. After nn nbsonco of a few minutes , Mr. Wnlsh returned md nskod what proposition Mr. Barton would submit regarding the con tracts. "I do not think they amount to nnythlng , " was the roplv , "and I will sny this , that If thn mon deslro to return to work ns they were when they wont out. that will bo nil that is necessary. I understand nrrnngo- menu havo.been made to test the constitu tionality of the law , and after the men nra buck at work wo can nrrnngo matters. " "I can assure you that such an arrange ment moans that the men will bo back nt Work as soon ns you want thorn , " said Mr. Walsh heartily. "There nro a great ninny who nro nnxlous to bo again earning n liveli hood for their families , and would bo hero to morrow morning it necessary. Eight hours for the men In the .smelting department Is nil the mon want , unless It Is for the kottlemon. What would you do In their cnsol" "Whatever Is right , " was thu reply. "Wo can settle that whenever the men get baoic to work , nnd It will bo satisfactory. If you want to discuss that send six good men here tomorrow. " "Will all the old mon bo allowed to go back to tholr places 1" "Yos,1' ' said Mr. Barton , "all who were In our employ at the tlmo the trouble came up. Ono thing , however , may na well bo under stood now as later. Bacon can never comeback back here to work. Our clerks toll us that ho came Into the ollico drunk before the trouble began , called for his tlmo nnd drew his pay. Ho quit then unit there , and was not In our employ when the men wont out. " "That Is not what ho told in , " said Walsh. "Ho said that ho merely drew his pay In ad- vuncC , ns many of the men hnvo frequently boon allowed to do In case of sickness or something of the kind. " "Wo hnvo done that many tlmos , " was the reply , "and Bacon may have been thus no coininodaicd on more than ono occasion , but I don't think it is so in this case. Even if It is , ho cannot como back. Ho is nn agitator and n mischief maker nnd ho cr.n never again enter our works , whether this ultimatum prevents our starting up before January I or whether they are never again placed in operation. I will moot that quea- tlon squarely right nt tlio door rather than take him back and then llnd some pretext for dismissing him from our employ. Against none of the other mon do wo harbor the slighest animosity. They have been very well behaved and wo will take them nil back , but Bacon has no place horo. Wo would not think ot employing a man in the place of nny of the rest of them. " "I will tell the men what yon say , " said Mr. Walsh , "and I think that wo can soon roach a settlement. Good day , Mr. Barton. " "Good day , " was the cordial response , and the conference was at an end. What the Men Think. Over In the shndo under the bridge the situation was fully discussed , and the com- inittou wns accorded close and careful atten tion when it inudo its report. Both Walsh and Boatman talked at length , and four other speakers gave expression to their views. They favored a settlement nnd wanted to go back to work. Ona of them said that the mon ought not to go back unless every ono was included , but whether or not ho wns espousing Bacon's _ cause was not clearly apparent , and the list eners were undemonstrative and silent. Bacon was thoro. but for the first time since the beginning of the trouble had nothing to say. Ho answered n few questions from n few of his companions , but offered no objec tions to leaving the place with the others after an announcement nod bcon made that an open meeting would bo hold at Mot/ hall Saturday evening , after which the smelters would hold a secret session to discuss the re sult of the conference. Mr. Hnrton Interviewed. Mr. Bnrton was oskod how ho regarded the outlook , and what results might reasonably bo expected from the conference. "A great many of the men want to go to work , " wns the roply. "Whon wo were nskcd this morning to consent to a conference wo do- batnd for some tlmo whether or not to ngrco to it , ns wo know that it was wtiat might bo termed the unsettled portion of the mon , or these who were inclined & to follow Uaeon's leadership. Wo were not surprised , therefore , to see Bacon here , but wo had made up our minds not to treat with him in nny manner. Wo demand Just what wo demanded nt iirst nnd will concede everything then offered. If tbo mon como back wo can easily roach nn amicable nnd satisfactory agreement. It Is hard to toll what they will do. If they follow the Inclinations of a majority they will comeback back , nud if they listen to these agitators nnd drink beer there is no tolling what the re sult will bo. " "If a settlement is reached , how soon would you start up the works ) " "Wo would rather not start up before the middle of September , but wo have no doMro to punish our mon. .Many of thorn have families , nnd this shut down of two weeks hns already deprived thorn of nearly SJOOU ( ) . Wo have diverted all our ere tbo other way , and It would take some time to got u stock on hand so ns to keep us running.Vo would prefer to wnlt nt least two weeks to start up everything in full blast , but if the men want to como back wo would try for simple humanity's sake to got them right to work. \Vowouldstnrt up our furnaces as fast as wo could. Nothing is frozen up , and wo would build the llros right away. " May Stnrt Mondny. Although no day or date was nnmod , Mr. Barton gave the reporter nn impression that the work of starting up could bo begun per haps ns early ns Mondny morning provided the term ? practically agreed to ut thu con ference by the committee were ratified by the men. Sensational rumors were rlfo yesterday morning us to what the strikers Intended to do. It was reported that a largo body of them had planned to go through the works and drive out all men found thoro. Sergeant Or ins by took a few policemen anil visited the smelter , but all was quiet , and the only In formation gained was of the conference to bo hold In the afternoon. In order to bo prepared for uny trouble , In case It should develop , twenty policemen were ordered to report nt headquarters and were hold there In reserve during the after noon , but their services were not needed , and they were finally sent back to tholr beats. Sergeants Ornmby nnd Hnzo nnd Uotecllvo Snvugo wore the only officers nbout the smelter during the afternoon , and they loft us soon us the conference wns ovor. jvor ; Attorney AVohster Thinks tlio lOi ht- llour Ijinv in ( JnconiitUiitionitl.

KlQllT-lWUK KAll : Arrangements Mmlo for Testing Its Constitutionality. Legal stops hnvo finally been taken to test the constitutionality of the eight-hour law. Yesterday Charles G. Low brought suit against the Uoos printing company to recover the sum of $0.50 , which amount , ho nllogos , is duo for work nnd labor performed contrary to the terms and provisions of the now law. The plaintiff nlloires that on August 10 ho contracted with the defendant to worlc ns a printer for ! iO cents per hour , that pursuant to the making of the contract ho entered the employ of the Heos printing company , nnd thAt on August 10 the defendant compelled the plaintiff to work eleven hours. On ac count of performing said work the defendant became indebted to the plaintiff in the sum of U < 0 , that is to say , $3.-IO for the first eight hours , 00 cents for the ninth hour , $ ! . ' . ' ( > for the tenth hour nud f J.40 for tfio eleventh or last hour workcu' . Tno plaintiff further alleges that the defendant - fondant hns paid him $ ' ! nnd no more. On August 8 the plaintiff , at the request of the defendant , entered into a contract as fol lows : ' From nnd including August 1 , 1891 , nil employes of this company will bo employed by the hour nnd paid by the hour for the number of hours they work at thu same wages now paid , nnd not by the day.

For another cause of action the plaintiff alleges that M. S. Alexander , who was workIng - Ing nt a salary of fii5 per month worked over time nud assigned his bill to the plaintiff. The object of the bull is to bring It before the courts ut once uud tlion try to sccuro a Hearing before the .supreme court nt the earliest possible moment. The manner of conducting the lawsuit has boon agreed upon.

The people of Omaha are going after the next national republican convention , and the whole west will bo at tholr baclc. The mooting of citizens held nt the rooms of the real estate exchange yesterday after noon was a tiummor. Every man in the meeting was In favor of going nf tor the con vention with thu Intention of getting it. There were nbout two hundred onorgotlo cit izens of Omaha , South Omaha and Council Clufi's present. Major T. S. Clarksou wai chosen chairman and ticorgo W. Holbrook wns elected ns sec retary. Colonel Scott wns nskod to state to the gentlemen assembled the impressions ho gained from the national commlttco whllo nt Washington with reference to the chances that Omaha had of securing the location of the next national republican convention. Colonel Scott snid ho lud nothing very now to say , Tlio newspapers had given nbout all the facts in the situation nt the tlmo the com mlttoo mot In Washington. Om.ilm Got Klr.st niooil. "Tho dully papers of Omaha , " said Colonel Scott , "started this movement , nnd right manfully have they kept up the fight. Omaha Is n larger city , gentlemen , than the people of Omaha think It is. I heard a mem- bar of the national committee sny , 'Omaha has drawn the llrst blood. ' Now what 1 have to say is this : If the people plo of Omaha will co to work In earnest , this city will draw the last blood and got the convention. Council Uluffs will contribute $5lOOJ ) toward the convention. | Applause. 1 1 know this , for several leading cltueiis of our neighboring city hnvo told mo so. If Council Bluffs will contribute * T > 0,000 for thi'i convention , what should the citUons ot Omaha bo expected to del Wo should walk up and do our duty and secure the con vention. " [ Applause. I Hon. John L. Webster was next railed upon. Ho was emphatically in favor of doing all that could bo done , reasonably , to secure the next national republican convention. Those conventions drew from fifty to ono hundred thousand people and they spent a vast amount of money. As a financial In vestment It would bo n very safe and sensible move on tbo part of Omaha. Selection Mtulo by Nature. It would cost some jnonoy , but the city would bo amply repaid in dollars and cents. As a matter of convenience for the people of the great west , Omuti'n should DO selected as the point for the _ convention. The delegates from nil the western-mates had been travel ing to the cast for years and yours to attend thcso conventions. Now that the center of population had crossed the Mississippi tno west should bo given fair treatment by tuo cast. * Acaln , as n strategotlo point la the great west , which has heretofore boon republican , but which has become uncertain by reason of recent political landslides , Omaha presents to the republican party a vantage ground that could not bo 'equalled. It was nou- sense , Mr. Wobstec said , to think of Omaha not having facilities for the entertainment of the convention. With the assistance of Council Uluffs Omaha could take care of 100,000 vjsltors , aud thoColiseum would bo ample in size ns place to hold the great convention. Mr. Webster spoke very earnestly nnd was frequently interrupted by applause.

Wright of Council Bluffs was asked to state to the nicotine something about the feelings of the citizens across the bridge. Ho said that the citizens of Council Uluffs stood ready to do their part to sccuro nnd take ciro of the convention. Ho believed that Mr. Clnrkson and other prominent men of Iowa were In favor of Omaha as the point for the convention. Mr. Wright was heartily applauded. Mr. Shugart of Council Bluffs was then called for. "So far ns I am concerned. " said Mr. Shugart , "Council Bluffs will do her part Toll us what you want done in this effort and wo will do it. " [ Applause. ] Hon. Charles H. Brown was asked to speak. "Wo want the national republican conven tion , " said Mr. Brown , "nud wo are going to get it. [ Applause. ] I am in favor of doing what is to bo done right nway. " Mr. Brown thought that the holding of the Columbian exposition would militate against Chicago , and Omaha .should push her claims vigorously. Omaha could entertain tno con vention nnd she should go after it In no un certain manner. Mr. Brown's remarks were heartily ap plauded. Dr. Mercer was the next speaker. Ho thought that enough had niready been snid to show conclusively that the citizens of Omaha were in the contest for the conven tion , nud mennt to win if possible.

She Tolls of Shcrtvooil'fl Treatment of UN Hey filavos. Judge Hclsloy found but llttlo time yester day morning to devote to the Sherwood case , but ono witness , Mrs. Walker , wns examined. Sha tostliled to hearing the blows lulllctod by Sherwood nnd the screams nnd pleadings of the boys. She remonstrated with Sherwood natnst such treatment , but ho replied that hu "hadn't klllod any of thorn yot. " Whun tlio boys continued crying nfter ho let thorn out of Iho room , ho told thorn to "hush or ho would put their hands In n suck and glvu them 11 thoutnud. " How ninny liuhes had previously been Inlltctod the wltnois could pot stato. The dufenso Intimated on cross-examina tion that the witness wits actuated by spite and filed the complaint because Ihu defend- nut had left her place , but she .speedily dis pelled Unit Idea when she testified that Sher wood did not leave the place until Saturday , whereas ho was arrested Friday. She also denied the Insinuation Of the defendant's at torney that the boys left her place because hu did not toed them well. She stated that Sherwood accused her of oeiui ? the came of all the trouble , ami then loft her house , ink ing the boys with him. She denied that she had caused the proceedings ncalnst Sher wood and was surprised that any had boon begun. She know that ho was cruel to. Iho c Hi hire n and complaints fro'ti outsiders hud boon made to her ubout it. She testified that ono evening the boy who carried the bass dram wns sick with cramps and rolled on thn lloor. Shu gave him cam phor and popper to relieve his suffering , and protested to Sherwood ngatnst the child being sent out with the band thntovenlnir. Sherwood - wood replied that the siclf child was "tho healthiest boy in tlui lot , " and sent him out ns usual with .ho rest. Mrs Walker also swore that the boys had complained of their mistreatment , nnd thruo had told her that tnoy were going to run away. She told them not to got Into a worse place , but they seemed to think that they could undergo no worse treatment than the brutal whippings and nbuso to which Sher wood subjected them. At the conclusion of Mrs. Walker's toatl- monj' the stale rested , and the case was con tinued until 8 o'clock In the afternoon. A. H. Wnrrlcks stated that ono of the boys had told him that ho nud two other boys wcto going to run nway ns Sherwood wns moan to them and whipped thorn nnd worked thorn too hard. .1. S. I'otU-r , a Janitor in the First National bank , is another who knows of the ill treat ment of the children. Ho .said ho huj heard their cries , and had noticed how frightened the boys were when Sherwood spoke to them. Ho know that they were kept playing on the streets or practicing nt the house nil of the time , and Sherwood was always very severe with thorn. D. Kills , a driver fo r H. C. Schultz , who keeps his horses in n barn in the rear of the Walker house , said ho had hoard the Doys * screams when in the barn attending to his team , and had asked Mrs.Valkor why she allowed such treatment In her house. S. Glover , who spent considerable tlmo at the camp meeting nt Syndicate park , said that ho had frequently hoard tno bovs whip- pe'd in tholr tent , and had hoard Sherwood warning them against making any outcries. James Isb , ono of the lire mid-police oper ators , had n talk with little Mitchell , the boy who testified yesterday that ho was so well satisfied" with everything nnd that Sherwood was so good. To Mr. Ish , however , ho told a far different story. Ho said ho wanted to get back to Now Orleans , where ho know lots of boys nnd could play and have a good timo. Ho wns tired of his present life , in which ho had to play with the band all the tlmo. Ho said It was the same thing all day long nnd ho had to walk until ho wns tired out. Ho told of Sherwood's trip from Now Orleans to Baton Houge , where ho stopped ono day und then hurried them north. There was much comment in the court room regarding the boy's ' testimony und demeanor meaner whllo on the stand , nnd when Sher wood's attorney wns noticed culling out onch boy and giving him n lengthy questioning and catechising , it was freely predicted that the result would bo apparent when they were cnllod upon to testify. Sherwood betrayed much moro uneasiness than formerly , and his fourtoen-inch grin gave place to a look of puzzled interest. In the afternoon the defense had Its inning. Sherwood was placed upon the stand , and diluted for some tlmo upon his Christian intent and philanthropic actions. Ho ad mitted that ho threshed the hoys , and claimed that ho did it for their spiritual ns well ns physical good. Ho denied that ho used the rawhide excessively , nnd instead of telling nbout the dog whip which ho had previously claimed to have used on the boys ho said that It was a little strap. Ho admitted having been fre quently nrrested , invariable on the boys' ' ac count , und told with apparent guests of being fined $21 tor going be yond the limit and larruping n child who was not ona of his charges , Ho orally handled Mrs , Wnlkeras roughly ns the court would permit , nnd endeavored to cot the Judge to peruse ono of his books entitled - titled "Sherwood's Solid Shot. " This the court refused to do , and likewise objected to giving his opinion of a book of camp meeting sones Hint the cover nttributed to Mr. Shor- woo'd's ' composition , although the Insldo pages gave credit to numerous other com posers. George Thompson , the oldest of the boys , and who wns adopted some years ago by Sherwood , was the next witness. Ho is the loader of the band and bus the easiest time of any of them. Ho told ot Sherwood's urrosts , nnd of the travels of the band , but had very llttlo to say on the subject of castlgnlion , al though the cross-examination drew out a few inndvortnnt admissions. The other boys were not put on the stand , nud the half dozen witnesses snbpuinucd by the tnto for the purpose of Impeaching their carefully learned merles could not bo called. U was evident , utter Mitchell test ! lied , that the boys would not dnro to toll the truth in Sherwood's presence , and as the state could not Impeach its own witnesses , tlio only thing to do wns to wait for Iho other sldo to call them to the stand , Shot-wood's nttornoys divined what was coming , und warily proceeded to shut out the most convincing proof not only of their client's Inhuman treatment , but of his efforts to escape conviction by stopping the mouths of his helpless victims. Under these circum stances , there wns nothing for the court to do but to discharge the defendant on thu complidnt charging disturbing the pence , although ho intimated during the trial that a charge of cruelty to children would hnvo como nearer to meeting the facts In the cuso. Unforlunuloly Iho luw does not rucognUo such a crlmo , nnd tlio case Is , therefore , ono Unit calls for the Immediate nnd cuioful at tention of the humane society. on a Strike. , 111 , , Aug. li ! , The molders employed - ployod in the steve foundries of Comstock , Castle , t Coo and Thomas \Vhlto wont on strike yesterday.
