COMPROMISE ENDS
BRITISH RAIL STRIKE
Trainmen Return After Love
Feast With Premier Sorv-
ice Nearly Normal
f WIN MINIMUM WAGE FIGHT
Hy the Associated Tress
I-onilon, Oct. 0. Great Riltnln's
railway sjstcm was again in operation
today ns the result of the settlement
yesterday of the crcat" railway strike,
which apparently had brought the coun
try nlmost to the brink of n revolution.
Virtually every man engaged in rail
way work in London returned to his
duty before 0 o'clock this morninc. The
arlous rail services did not speedily
reach the normal state, however, be
cause of the displacement of the rnil-
SofcWay's material that naci resuiteu irom
the suspension ot wont.
In the country districts also the re
sumption uas general, except In the
'outlying districts, where telegrams an
nouncing the settlement and ordering
the men back to work could not be de
livered last night.
The railway companies promised to
day that virtually regular service would
be in operation on their lines tomorrow.
The settlement was the result of n
long confeience between a tradc
nnlon delegation, including representa
tives of the Knilwaymen's Union, nnd
l'remicr lAOn oeorge nnu imurew
llonar Law in the famous conference
room in Downing street.. Prior to this
there was a cabinet meeting.
The official terms of the settlement,
in the nature of a compromise, follow :
"First. Work shall be resumed im
mediately. "Second. Negotiations will be re
sumed on the understanding that they
shall be completed before the end of
the year.
"Third. "Wages will be stabilized at
the present level until September 20,
1020, and at any time after August 1
they may bo leviewed in the light of
circumstances then existing.
Minimum Wage $12.75 n Week
"Fourth. No adult railwayman in
Great Britain shall receive less than
fifty-one shillings a week whHo the
cost of living is 110 per cent above the
pre-war level. .,
"Fifth. The railway unions agree
that their men iwlll work harmoniously
with the men who returned to work
or who remained at work during the
strike. Ndr shall there bo any vic
timization of strikers,
"Sixth. Arrears of wages will be
paid on resumption ot work."
After the announcement of the set
tlement of the strike Prima Minister
Iilnvd Qcorgo paid n visit to the king.
The conference in Downing street
was n very friendly affair. All pres
ent seemed to anticipate a settlement,
and after Premier Lloyd George had
explained the new terms he lett tho
delegates to discuss them. When the
luncheon hour arrived the premier sug
gested that all stay, instead of sep
arating. A raid was made on the
Downing street commissariat, and,
finding It equal to the needs ot the
largo party, n jovial meal followed, the
premier's secretaries carrying the joint
and assisting In carving It, while jokes
flew around the table.
Labor leaders Satisfied
Leaders of the national union of iall
wajmen, who directed the strike which
was settled yesterday, declare their sat
isfaction with the arrangement In mes
sages to the Herald, organ of union
labor.
"Tho men stood four-square, deter
mined to secure victory or go down
together," declares Secretary Thomas.
"Tho settlement brings home great
gains."
He nppeals to railwaymcn to con
soldiate their organization and make
their forces stronger than ever so as
to "gain for all members a higher
standard of life."
C. T. Cramp, president of the
union, says:
"While wc did not obtain the for
mula we set forth in the strike resolu
ilnn. ui. nhtnlned terms equally good,
which will gUc the rallwajmen the
same thing in effect. Our men have
broken the back of tho first attack
made upon the entire worKing ciass.
nnd no doubt this splendid stand will
save w oi kern from a degraded standard
of life."
,T. Bromley, secretary of the Society
of Firemen and Engineers, asserts:
"The settlement is highly satisfactory.
There is greater value in it than ap
pears at first sight."
Flood Destroyed Most of Town
Mexico City. Oct C Advices ic
ceived here shv that two -thirds of
the town of Tonnla, in the state of
Chiapas, was destroved as n result of
the Hoods late in September. Sixtv
bodies have been recovered, but they are
believed to be n very small fraction of
the aggregate of dead. Many inhabi
tants, driven to the hills, are reported
to be dving of starvation or exposure.

The ultimate test by which a "business stands or 'falls is that of
service. If service is prompt nnd efficient, satisfied customers return
to buy again. . If a salesman is indifferent or discourteous, they go
elsewhere. It is with a great deal of pride that a Chestnut Street
merchant will tell you (and back it up with action, too) that one of the
chief principles upon which the success of the Chestnut Street Shops
has been founded is the prompt and courteous attention given to cus
tomers by the salespeople in these stores.
A DIMINUTIVE pagoda perched
perilously on the side of a
mountain in a manner alto
gether Japanese forms an interest
ing detail in the decoration of a
floor lamp which I saw at the store
of H. D. Dougherty & Co., 1632
Chestnut Street. An attractive shade
on another floor lamp; has a classic
decoration of leaves in a border at
top and bottom. On another, a
bright-hued 'parrot disports itself
on a bough of apple-blossoms, happy,
no doubt, in finding a spot where it
might say exactly what it pleased.
A carved candlestick, painted in
shades of soft dark green and mul
berry, would look equally well with
cacved French Gothic furniture or
with the lacquered Chinese Chippen
dale. It has a parchment Shade
painted in subdued colors.
FEW people know what a vaiiety
of fruits are obtainable at this
season of the year. I was really
amazed at the wide range of choice
afforded by the new arrivals at the
i store of Henry R. Hallowell & Son,
Broad street, below Chestnut. Hot-
-houso grapes from Colmar, Belgium,
look very tempting. Then there are
the Winter Nelis and the Cornice
Peas 'two very delicious varieties
and the Delicious Apples from
Pennsylvania, which, like the Honey
Dew Melons, live up to their name
in all respects. Hallowell's still have
some of those luscious Japanese
Plums from California and Alligator
Pears from tropical Florida. Assem
bled in a gift basket, these fruits
make a most acceptable remem
brance for any occasion. The bas
kets can, of course, like the loose
fruits, bo shipped safely by parcel
post, special delivery.
AVE you visited tho new
hosiery department on the
first floor of Oppenhcim, Col
lins & Co. store? If youthaven't
you will bo just as delighted as" I
was to discover it, for you will -find
there every kind of stocking needful
to complete your varied toilettes.
There are plain glove silk Btockings
for wear with your tailored suit and
stockings with .embroidered clocks,
nnd there are very effective lace and
openwork clocks, too. With tho re
turn of short skirt3 even tho most
conservative of us are considering
embroidered stockings. One pair at
Oppenhelm, Collins, embroidered at
the instep, has a merlallion of lace
inset. For evening wear there, are
stocklnrjs of gold and silver and silk
Btockings with lisle tops in all
shades.

TO SAVE you the trouble and
general inconvenience attend
ant upon the cleaning' of the
sink every time you wash your
dishes, the Amico Sink-Protecting
Dish Pan has been invented. It is
made of copper-bearing tin plate,
which means that it is rust resistant,
and rubber legs protect the enamel
of the sink against scratches. A
stopper in the bottom of the pan can
bo removed, allowing the water to
run out through a strainer drawer,
which catches any refuse. One fea
ture that especially appealed to me
when I inspected the pan at the store
of J. Franklin Miller, 1612 Chestnut
Street, is that after you have washed
your dishes you can leave the stop
per out, run hot water over the
dishes in the pan, and they will be
ready to dry.
IF YOUR wedding stationery beais
the name of Bailey, Banks &
Biddle, you can be sure of' the
excellence 'of its quality as well as
of careful workmanship in every de
tail of engraving. The importance of
making certain of the correctness of
such small details as the color and
texture of the paper, the style of let
tering, etc., need hardly be dwelt
upon, when one considers the number
of eyes which gaze upon a wedding
invitation or announcement. It is
an indication of your own good taste,
as well as a compliment to your
friends, to select wedding stationery
of the ouality sold by Bailey, Banks
and Biddle Co. Envelopes will be
mailed upon receipt of tho order, if
you so desire, so that they can be
stamped and addressed.
WITH the advent of chill fall
days we arc beginning to ap
preciate again the comfort
of the fireside. What is more sooth
ing and soul-satisfying than to sink
into an armchair before a roaring
fire, prop your feet on the fender and
listen to a song such as "My Ain
Folk," an old Scotch folk-song with
a wealth of melody in it, interpreted
by an artist such as Maggie Teyte?
This pleasure can bo yours if you
own an Edison. Phonograph, and if
you do not you will want to hear
this re-creation on tho New Edison
at tho store of N. Stetson & Co, 1111
Chestnut Street. In Stetson's win
dow I noticed a wonderfully carved
oak caso modeled according to the
furniture of the Elizabethan period.
It will surely appeal to all lovers of
fine old English furniture .
I HAD tho privilege a fqw days ago of viewing a collection of greeting
cards for the coming holiday season. They surpassed anything I
have yet seen in tho courso of my personally conducted shopping
tours. As I selected, ono after another, tho cards that particularly appealed
to mo, I suspected that some kind spirit must have read my thoughts, so
well did design and wording combine, to express the thoughts I had in
mind, yet found so difficult to put into words. Those cards will be on
display this week at the storo of Frank J. Curry, 812 Chestnut Street, and
t , I assure you that they will please tho most critical and exacting taste. You
