| There were no new developments yes
tertiay in connection with the settlement
Of the differences between organized labor
and the brewery proprietors. The absence
from the city at this time Of Mr.. Leon
Tobriner, who represents the brewers in
this matter, precludes the possibility Of
any further steps being taken looking to
a final and amicable adjustment OF the
differences The labor leaders feel Con-
fident that their request that the terms
of agreement be made applicable to all
work now being done by the proprietors
of the local breweries will be granted and
that the long drawn out fight will be over.
The terms of the agreement, with the
amendment suggested by the conferees,
were submitted to the several organiza-
lions affiliated with ID. A. Sc and the
Federation of Labor. which met last night,
and it is reported that they oppose the
agreement as amended.
Mr. Ed L. Jordan, chairman Of the ex-
ecutive board of the Association OF Retail
Liquor Dealers, was also seen. He has
full confidence in all parties concerned
and is of the opinion that, unless something
unforeseen happens, an agreement will be
reached.
