I BIG STRIKE 18 ENDED.
Hon. John Wanamaker Brings Order
Out of Chaos.
BOTH SIDES MAKE CONCESSIONS !
The Men Secure Recognition of Their
Organization, and Their Grievances
Will be Heard-A Victory for
Public Opinion.
Philadelphia, Dec. 81. Tho pre.-.t trol
ley Hti-iko la oiuU-d. Tills Is Until . John
Wnmuntikcr Is tho inau wlio brought
nbout tho settlement, succ-ecilliiK where
11 others fulled, lie was aided In tho work
ly members of the Christian League. The
basis of settlement follows:
First, whllo the Union Trnetton com
pany will only treat with the workmen In
Its employ, It will nllow tliem membership
In any lawful organization; seeond. It will
take up all grievances and give them full
and fair consideration; third, It will, so
far ns It has vacant placos.lmmedlatcly put
mi the old lnuu, and as fast as vacancies
arrive will give proferenco to any of tho old
men yet unemployed, and endeavor to ar
range tho trips of tho cars to favor tho old
men ns far as possible, without violating
Its contracts with tho new men.
Tho qucstlonsof compensation and hours
nro left or future determination. Con
cessions wero made by both sides. Tho
JOHN WANAMAKEIt.
bnttlo has mainly been fought onthoquos
tlon of tho employes' membership in tho
Amalgamated Association of Street Hall
way Kmployes, which tho company has
persistently refused to recognize. Tho
now men engaged slnco tho strike began
number nearly 1,000, whllo thoro were
nbout 5,000 strikers.
Mr. Wanamaker submitted tho Ideas
embraced In tho settlement to thostrikers.
They accepted them, and In turn submit
ted them to tho company. Considerable
correspondence and many conferences fol
lowed, and lato yesterday afternoon nn
nouueon -nt was made that both sides had
agreed to tho terms. To properly round
out tho matter a mass meeting of tho
strikers was hold last night for tho pur
pose of ratification. Hero tho strike was
officially declared off.
Thus ends what has probably been tho
greatest striko In tho United States. It
lasted exactly ono weok, and it cost tho
city, tho company and tho strikers thou
sands of dollars. Tho loss In fares nlono
to tho company Is estimated at 1350,000 or
thereabouts. Apart from tho destruction
of cars and other property, there has been
much bloodshed, although fortunately no
fatal results.
Tho business men of tho city havo prob
ably boon tho heaviest sufferers after tho
company. Tho striko, coming In tho
midst of tho holiday, brought unparalleled
dlsastor to shopkeepers.
A rumor was current that n syndicate
had been formed to buy out tho Wolsh In
terest In tho Traction company and mako
Mr. Wanamaker president. To this ho
Bald: "There Is no truth In tho report.
Tho suggestion has novor oven boon made
In my prosenco."
Throughout tho striko tho nowspapsrs
of this city nnd tho correspondents of
nowspapers olsowhoro havo refrained, In
thu interest of public order, from referring
to tho widespread sympathy given tho
strikers by I'hllndelphians. It may now
bo said, howovor, that novor In tho history
of strikes has thoro boon such unanimous
expression of good will toward men on
striko and animosity toward n public cor
poration. CItlzons in ovory walk of life,
ovon Including stockholders In the Trac
tion company, havo boon outspokou In ex
pressing tho hopo that tho strikers might
win, nnd havo emphasized their hopo by
contributing liberally to tho strlkors' re
lief fund. Among tho striko sympathizers
may bo Included tho men who could ex
press their sympathy only In private coii
vorsntlonsjaud whoso duty compelled them
to mako an outward show of hostility
tho members of tho polloo dopartmont. It
may bo safely asserted that more than 00
por ceut. of tho blue ooatod guardians of
tho ponce, rogardloss of tho many acts of
violence, wished success to tho strikers. It
Is, in truth, a victory for public opinion.
A modest factor In tho great striko has
boon Mt. Goorgo P. Chance, president of
Philadelphia Typographical union. Mr.
Chance Is not a professional labor agi
tator, but earns his living as a compositor
at tho offlco of tho American Press Asso
ciation In this city. When off duty, how
ovor, ho has given much of his tlmo nnd
talents to further tho organization of tho
street car employes, for which ho rocelved
no componsutlou. When the striko was
declared Mr. Ohanco was oalled upon by
tho strlkors to aid In bringing about a set
tlement, nnd In a quiet way ho has douo
much to bring nbout that gratifying result.
Yesterday was certainly tho most vio
lont since tho struggle began, and for tho
first tlmo tho pollco shot to kill. About
10 o'clock In tho forenoon a tromondous
crowd gnthorod at Eighteenth and Glrnrd
nveuue, and as the cars pnsseu, eacn wiwi

kept him fully posted as to tho situation

THE POUHd SITUATION.
A Forecast of Events as They Appear
at the County Seat.
THE NATIONAL DELEGATE FIGHT
Thero Are Many Called But Few Will be
Choson The Congressional Fight
Will bo a Spirited One. With a
New Candidate In the Flold.
Special llniiAi.n Correponcleiue.
Pottsvim.k, Dee. 31, 1MB. Things politl- 1
cal at the county seat are waxing warm, in
anticipation of tho new organizations at the
alnishouso and the court house. Humors of
deals and counter-deals are as thick as Mies
around a molasses barrel in slimmer. Tho
national delegatoship Is also commanding at
tention nt the hands of local politicians, and
with each succeeding day it appears a new
candidate for tho much-coveted position bobs
up serenely.
William Willielm, Eso,, tho same William
who attempted to dethrone County Chairman
Payne, Is urged hy.lilsniany political friends,
some of them of state-wide reputation, to be
come a candidate for dclegate-at-large to thu
lb-publican National convention, and tho
probabilities nro lie will shy his castor into
tho field shortly. It would lie a ten-strike
for Schuylkill to be so honored, and the three
last victories in this comity entitle the l'e-
publicans ot this section to the honor. My
friend Willielm would till the hill.
The great Ikiiio of contention, however, is
the national dclegateship from this county.
We aroentitlcd to two delegatos, and of this
number it is generally conceded that ninth of
tho mountain will get one of them. Hon. 1).
1). Phillips will, without much doubt, bo the
man selected, although Chris. Eherle, of
Gii-.irdville, ami J. Harry James, of the Ash
land Local, a i-o said to lie candidates. In tills
section of the county it is not such plain
Killing. Every name announced is familiar
to tin- voters. Hero they are; read
the names carefully: Hon. Charles N.
Brunnii, of Mlncrsvillo ; ox-Clerk of the
Courts Daniel Dully ; "Majali" John F.
Finney, of tho .Miners' Journal, and P. & I!.
Train Dispatcher F. J. Simons, of Crcvona.
And there aro others yet to hear from. Only
one so far lias announced his preference lor
President, and that is "Majali" Finney. In
an editorial in tho Journal of yesterday lie
comes out Hut-footed for Tom Itced. I don't
know whether Matt Quay lias yet announced
liis preference, but tho Journal's editorial
points that way.
The knowing ones say that a deal lias been
entered into between Biumin and Finney,
whcroliy the latter is to receive the support
of the former at the last moment in roinulor
ation of the Journal' support for lirumni to
succeed himself. Consultations aro noticed
to ho frequent occurrences between tho two,
hut as to thoir-puipoit I am not able to say.
But if tho rumors of this deal are true, what
becomes of that other deal between the
"Majah" and Senator Coyle? Tho latter
expects tho Journal's support in his etl'ort to
succeed Congressman lirumni. Tins appears
to be a case of Dr. Jokcl and Mr. ilyde,
and somebody is being deceived badly. And
it isn't my friend Finney, either. What
about Dan Dully ? Thu men who are making
these deals would do well to keep a watchful
eye on the statesman from St. Clair. Ho
knows a trick or two in politics, and it would
not siirpiiso liiiiny people to see him laud a
winner. It is becoming evident that tho
tight for national dclegateship will lie a bitter
ono ; and Hon. Sam. Lo.sch isn't even saying
a word. Watch the developments after tho
holidays and you'll II ml he is doing mote
than thinking.
There is lots of fun ahead, and many polit
ical friends will bo arrayed one against tho
other. Tho delegates to the late liepublicau
county convention aie tho men to belcct tho
national and state delegates, and they must
meet not less than ten nor more than thirty
days previous to tho state convention, subject
to tho call ot the county chairman.
Tho threatened investigation by Solicitor
Whitchouse does not appear to havo uiiicl
uuecL upon mo siaiu-iii.iKers.u me aiuisuouse.
l'oor Directors Dietrich and Middleton have
not yet settled their dill'eiences, rumors to
tho contrary notwithstanding. Tin bone of
contention appears to lie the clerkship.
Middleton wants tho appointment for his
friend John V. Iiceso, of St. Clair, whllo
Dietrich is anxious to retain tho present
incumbent, John F. Grossang. It tho latter
is appointed the propostd investigation will
be deferred for ono year at leasti Tho only
certain tiling about tho deal is- that S. B.
Edwards will bo the Solicitor. .Middleton is
willing to allow Dietrich to have (iordiin
Itced for steward and Dr. Gray as physician,
but says lie must have the clerkship or the
stewardship. That is tho way matters now
stand, but tho next few days will settle all
controNorsy.
Whatever is being done by tho Commis
sioners its to tho appointments to bo made at
tho court house, they aro keeping to them
selves. Neither of tho threo will talk, oven
to their intimate political friends. Tho gen
eral impression seems to be that Allen ami
Martin will organize the Board, front tho fact
that they voted together on tho mercantile
uppraisei'ship. If tills view of the case be
truo, the laiKirs ol tno Itepiiuilcan executive
Committee- in bringing t lie two Bcpublicau
Commissioners together have been of little
avail. They "resolved" that none but Be
publicaus should be placed in positions on tiie
hill, and to that end wanted Messrs. Konu
and Allen to mako tho appointments. Ton
man up a tree it looks ery much like the
deal nt last year, with tho same corps of
clerks, with probably one or two changes.
The Congressional tight next year, on the
liepiilibeau side, will lie a buttle royal for the
nomination. Congressman Bruiuiu and
Senator ( oyle are announced, and I have
been iuloriiied that Shenandoah has also
,omo forward with a candidate in the person
of Horace E. Kengler. Mr. Bungler was a
delogHtoto the last state convention, and I
lnjllove Was assistant postmaster under tho
kMtfldminittrutiou. The big town alxnc tho
mountain will certainly not be wanting in
candidato this year.
In refurgnvB to the Congressional contest, I
am told that Senator ('oyle in nut a candidate;
that is. ho will withdraw in llrumm's favor
ut tho piopur time. My informant is in
touch with tho powers that la-, and ho says
Coylo's object in unnouuuliig himself is to
keep certain parting out of the Held. The
Senator is looking for something else he
expects an important iippiiliitniunt under the
next liepuhlicait adiuiiiHtmtlon, with
llrumm's assistance. l'i:i.tx.
