May Be Settled.

Milwaukee, June 29. —A special to the Herold from Oshkosh, Wis., says: The wood workers’strike, one of the mc«t important labor movements in the history of Wisconsin, is now in a fair way of immediate settlement, at least one great step has been accomplished. The manufacturers and the men have gotten together and had a conference. At this conference the labor leaders eliminated the union contention and agreed that the manufacturers should meet their own men as such, but insisted on a slight increase of pay and n weekly pay day. The last the manufacturers refused to accede tp Tuesday afternoon, but it is thought an agreement will yet be reached, as considerable pressure is being brought upon the manufacturers to give in.
