To all other customers the job- bers shall sell only at the marked retail price, The manufactyrers, When dealing direct}y with re- tailers of their goods (whether druggists or other dealers) to exact the same written guarantee to maintain the full marked prices.” THE NATIONAL REBATE PLAN. After a full discussion this plan was endorsed and referred to the executive committee for such modifications and alterations as may be deemed proper to incorporate, and with plenary powers to Act for the assoclition, to prosecute the plan as modified to a successful issue.

As stated in yesterday’s Srar, the strike of the ‘Metropolitan railroad drivers wasended yesterday afternoon, and the drivers resumed their places. Mr. Geo. N. Taylor, president of the Street Rail- road Association of the District of Columbla,states in a note to THE Star that the statement that the men had acknowledged they were in the wrong in order to return to work 1s incorre:t. “They sim- ply,” says Mr. Taylor, “relterated their first de- man: that the five men that were put off Satur- day for joining the Knights of Labor should be re- instated. The discharge of these five men was a testcase. If Mr. Thompson had succeeded he would have followed tt up by discharging every man ‘in detail that was on his road that be- longed to the organization, which 1s now known as the Street Railroad Association of the District of Columbia.” ‘THE PEACE CONFERENCE. ‘The consultations between President Thpmpson and Superintendent Emmert of the road on one side, And the drivers, through a committee, lasted about two hours yesterday afternoon. From time to time this committee reported to the crowd of drivers on the oppostce side of the street, and now and then the committee, on returning, would take back one of the discharged men with them. Ejnal- ly all the suspended and discharged men were in the office, and then 1t was agreed that if they ac- Knowledged that their suspension or discharge had been for cause they could resume thelr cars. This acknowledgment having been made, they were told to take thelr cars, which they did. The drivers generally state that they are satisfled with their pay and hours of work, and that they have less cause for complaint now than any ciass of drivers in this vicinity. WHAT PRESIDENT THOMP3ON SAYS. Mr. J. W. Thompson stated to a Star reporter to-day that the strike was ended as soon as the men who were discharged or suspended acknowl- edged that the action in each case had been for cause,—because they were direlict in their duty, an not because they belonged to the Knights of Labor. When they made thts acknowledgement they were at once restored to duty, and everybody returned to their work, and harmony prevailed once more. No conditions were imposed upon one side or the other. It was learned also that many of the men were perfectly willing to continue their work, but that they were prevented from so doing, fearing bodily harm from the crowd that had col- lected. This fact caused the stoppage of all cars on the road. ee Shocking Depravity. A DAUGHTER’S CHARGE AGAINST HER FATHER.
