But while the local manager of the telephone company conducted the negotiations with the strikers and pre- vented any serious damage being done to the compan property without calling upon the National Guard the manager has overlooked one very important factor in the great strike. Bllly Shaw, the strike leader, has gone back to his duties in the office, has ac- cepted the terms of the company and all without a murmur. This rather surprised those who knew that Shaw was thgJeader fn the movement for the amelioration of the condition of the messenger boys and the enlargement of the tip system. Shaw used to tell his companions of their down- trodden condition and when the time came for the walkout Shaw proudly took his hat and went home. But Billy Shaw encountered a new kind of strike when he got home. He has re- turned to work without further complaint, and when the rest of the service saw the outcome of his strike they accepted the terms offered by the company of an in- crease of $3 a month and returned to work. “All der fellers went back to work but Billy Shaw,” sald one of the strikers, “and his folks chased him back.” And the great strike is off. e i + BOLD STRIKE LEADER WON OVER BY WARM HOME AR- GUMENT. q- DEATH TAKES SURVIVOR OF THE COLIMA WRECK | Charles H. c—u—siung, Permanently ‘Weakened by Exposure, Becomes a Victim of Pneumonia.
