Chicago Carpenters and New
Bosses Settle the Last Detail
Of Arbitration.

Of Arbitration.
Eight Hours to Constitutes
Days Work With q Com
promise on Wages.
CHICAGO. Specialize great carpenters
strike Is finally settled. The necessary pa
pers were signed to-day and ratified by
both sides concernedi in the arbitration. A
last report will be made tomorrow to
the judicial umpires, and Thursday morn
ing scores OF buildings that for four
weeks have been practically deserted, will
echo with the sounds Of hammer and saw
insthe hands Of fully 1000 journeymen car
penters. The two arbitration committees
Of the new boss carpenters associa-
ton and the strikers met tonight at
the Grand Pacific hotel, with Judges
Driggs, Mcconnell and Tuley, and after a
session Of three hours length settled the
last detail. The iourneymen achieved an
almost sweeping victory. They made con
c~essioffs on but two points, and every
iourneyman carpenter throughout the
city was jnbilant tonight over the
result. The only disappointment was that
the stubbornness of the old association has
left its members wholly out OF the final deal.
The official statement ofthe terms of settle
ment will not be issued by the two par
ties to 1.-THE arbitration till tomorrow, but it
Is reliably stated that the document signed
in the presence Of the three judges provides
eight hours shall constitute a days work,
to begin at 8 A. NJ. and end at s p. NJ. The
tnoon hour may be curtailed
BY SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT
between the foreman and the majority Of
the workmen, but not in such q. way as to
permit more than eight hours work be-
tween the hours named. Over time shall
only be allowed between certain stipulated
hours at night. The minimum rate of
wages has been fixed at IS cents an hour up
1osAug. l and thereafter at 373 cents an
hour. Over time is to be rated at time and
ahalf, and Sunday time as double time.
In the matter, of apprentices conces-
sions were made by both parties. The
employers agree to employ only union
men, even for foremen required to work
with n%oi-union men. Nearly all the work

most of them under the conditions against
which they rebelled. At the Mccormick
works thefull forcereported for duty. Attic
car shops of Wells, French q Co., two
thirds Of the 1,7O0> employees returned to
work at the former rate ofwages and hours
of labor, but it is understood that an ar.
rangement will be entered into upon the re-
turn Of one of the officers of the company
who is in Europe. The employees of the
malleable iron works are still out, but
they expect-to effect q settlement with the
company in q day or two. The condition
of the strike amp the strikers in relation to
the e%ight-hour movement in the planning
mill district seems to be somewhat con-
fused, and, taken as q whole, the strike
may be put down os a failure. At some of
the mills the men
HAVE RETURNED TO WORK
the old ten-hour basis, at others the
day with ten hours wages has
been conceded pending further negotiations,
while at still other shops the eight hourhas
been adopted by the proprietors ard eight
hours pay has been accepted by the men.
Attic stock yards there was not o sugges-
ton of q strike to-day, one large packing
house starting up after an idleness Of some
days, and 500 more men seeking employ
ment than could be cared for. The recent
success o fthe whitewashers in securing rec
milton foI their union, better pay and
ahorter hours. has caused the Inauguration
OF q similar movement by the colored wait

went in q body to Milan's restaur-
ant close by and were persuading
The walters there to go out when the
proprietors promised to grant whatever the
strikers obtained. The milan walters con-
cluded to let the Brockway men
do the fighting. Trouble in 9TH
er establishments is looked for. Sew
eral meetings Of sash, door and
blind factory employees were held to-day
for the purpose of effecting an organization.
1t is understood that the movement is
backed by the carpenters, who, it is said,
have agreed to set no work turned out by
mills which refuse to concede the eight
hour dfy. AT one or two mills, the men
who went to work this morning, knocked
OF when notified Of the new movement.
