It was ju?t two weeks ago today that th K. J. & E. 500 hop mploys of the Kirk yard walked out. demand. ng- more pay. better working hours and recognition of the union. The settlement was reached In Chicago yeaterilay when a monster meeting bt th district delegates and shopmen at Pulaski's hall. Eighteenth street and Ashland avenue. Delegates representing 26.000 shop workers were present and voted to call off the strike and will abide by the order to go back to work at 8 o'clock In the morning. At the labor headquartels on Broadway this morning the shopmen are holding an Important meeting. Union officials refused to give out any information as to the nature of the meeting. It is probable though that the workmen are being- informed of the proceedure
cf yesterday's session In Chicago anl j
questions of vital importance will b open for discussion. There Is no feeling
af unrest that the strikers will not go back to work. Anticipating a settlement. It is learned that the liary mills were getting in readiness yesterday to resume operation of its departments to normal conditions again. Another blast furnace was started yesterday, two more vre being gotten in readiness last night and reports state that all the open hearths will l in full operation by the first of the week. The mills aiso received some coal yesterday and sufficient it is said to start some of the departments until the "J" shipments begin to arrive. On account of the congestion at the Kirk yards and also in the mill. It will be several days be fore it will be relieved. A thousand or more, cars are waiting to be moved. Providing there are no other obstacles appear in tht time it will be a week or tn days before things will be moving smoothly again. From authentic source it is learned that the strike vote, among the Gary steel and Iron workers is being taken and that it has been practically cast. It is reported that the local workmen are overwhelmingly in favor of a strike. This ia also true among the South Chicago steel workers where a vote is being cast. As eoon as the vote is completed, the results will be sent to the headquarters in rittsburph but it la thought that it will be sometime at least before the vote will bo tnada kiutrn.

Railroads Prepare to Resume Their Full Schedule Saturday. ruiriN.TRNATIONAl- NEWS SERVICE J CHIAGO. Aug. 15. With the striking railroad shopmen ready to return fo work Saturday morning railroads running into Chicago were making preparations today to resume their curtaiied schedules in full. The prediction wss made today that the vote to return to work, which came after & ntn- hour battle between radicals who wanted to hold us. and the more conservative element of the workers, would cause moat of the shopmen, now out over the country, to heed the orders of their international officers to go ba k to their wcrk pending mediation. With the shopmen of Chicago, the recognized "hub" of the strike, returning to their Jobs., it was not believed the Enialler councils would be willing to take a chance- on holding out. in the face of threatened expulsion from the brotherhood. J. D. Sanders, secretary of the Chicago district council, telegraphed President Wilson, telling him the result of the convention and expressing confidence that the president will use his influence to secure the demands of the shopmen.

In a letter from Stanley Wykoff, federal food administrator, at Marion county yesterday it was learned that the sugar must be distributed only through the jobbers and dealers, presumably at regular prices, for no provision is made to control the price. City Controller Brennan. who is chairman of the purchasing: committee, in an effort to cut down the 11. C. L. is taking the matter up with Mayor Hodges before making- a reply, n is very likely- thst the crload of sugar will b cancelled. Mr. llrennan has worked out a plan to distribute the sale of the tugar among the different communities by placing it on sale at the different fire stations and have a man from the Gary clearing house at each distributing point to record the sale? and care for the money. It is possible tha tthe four carloads of meats anr canned goods which Is now nroute to Gary will be placed on sale in this manner. This has not been definitely decidel though. After burning up the telegraph wires for several hours Mr. Brennan learned that authority for the rale of the sugar rested with the state food administrator and a telegram of Inquiry has been sent. Information is expected today.
