CHICAGO, 111., Nov. 7.—Further
progress toward settlement of in

here, are reported but in the
troubled farm strike area there is
no apparent lessening of the ten

A request for State troops from
Mayor Hayes, of Sioux City, at
whose markets the anti-selling
movement is directed, are held up
by Gov. Clyde L. Herring pending
developments.
A settlement has been made in
the tool and diemakers’ strike in
the Detroit auto factories and other
smaller plants.
Miners are going back to work
in the soft coal fields in Penn
sylvania but in the northeastern

on fire last night. The situation
there is said to be serious.
