gsmated Society of Carpenters and
Joiners, at meeting last night, formally

CHICAGO CARPENTERS.

ton of work by the striking carpenters
and the new Bosses association has been
actually reached, and that the men will
resume work Friday. In the meantime,
the leaders are endeavoring to keep Sc
cret not merely the terms of agreement,

master carpenters association this after
noon presented a memorial TO Mayor
Cregier, reciting that the striking car
penters have prevented them from en-

MAKING READY FOR FRIDAY.
CHICAGO, ILL, April 29.-To-day was
a comparatively Nuneventful day IN the
/ carpenters strike and tonight the head
SqugTters of the jonrneymen were more
deserted than at any tune since the
niSvement was inaugurated. This was
due TO the. fact that a determine
ton tosmakeA settlement with the boss
carpenters and builders associati9t
made uuremittingingly the measureSof
the last three weeks unnecessary. IN
fatal steps toward declaring the strikei
off have been taken, and many menu
bers of the new ASSOCIATION ara
sanguine enough to think that work
will be resumed on Friday. Master
carpenters, andtthe association will be
boycotted, butfrom what can be learned
at their headquarters tte old bosses are
not losing much sleep over the prospect.
Journeymen carpenters council has an
other secret session this. afternoon, the
purpose of which was to consider in
detail propositions for settlement made
by the new association yesterday. The
only points of difference were the en-
Dloyment of union men and appren-
ticeships. The latter, it Is said, will be
modified so as TO be satisfactory to both
parties. As yet it is uncertain how the
question Of employing non-unionists will
be decided. It is thought, however,
that the matter will be settled by the
contract RS agreeing to induce all their
employees to join the union Immediately
after the journeymen IS council meeting.
The joint arbitration committees of the
new Boss Carpenters association and
journeymen held conference to arrange
details of their final meeting. The time
was fixed for tomorrow at 10 a.. IN.
