Plants of the big steel companies in We'st Virginia, Ohio, Indiana and Il linois ana Southern states which have been working only part time or have been entirely id^e will be the principal beneficiaries.

Henry Mry* Eads and John L. Bradley was ap pointed and i-iithoriaed to visit others states and inspect the various systems of treating prisoners in vogue in them. This commission is now ready to port and will recommend that the New. Tprk plan be adopted by the state of! Missouri.

"Mutual concessions," he said, "have been made which render the continu ance of a strike unnecessary. Except for about 100, all of the machinists who originally walked out now have other employment.
