London, July 21. The North-Eastern Railway strike has been settled, and work is being resumed. COMPANY'S TERMS ACCEPTED. SHUNTER'S POSITION SECURE. Received July 23, 0.30 a.m. London, July 22. The North-Eastern Railway men have accepted the company's terms, including the promise of an enquiry; also a proviso that the head shunter shall return to the position allotted him until the grievance is investigated, or in the event of his remaining idle his wages will be paid until the matter is settled. The strikers will not be penalised. The strike has made idle 30.000 miners, 5000 furnacemen, and 7000 ironstone workers. The settlement is largely due to the efforts of the officials of the Amalgamated Railwaymen's Association. Labor members of the House of Commmons are delighted. AN ILLEGAL STRIKE. London, July 21. The secretary of the Amalgamated Society of Railwaymen declares that the strike is not recognised because it is illegal.
