Big Deal In Breweries.
Kansas City, Mo-, July 21.-The
Schwarzschild Il Sulzberger company
and its employees arrived at an agree
ment which appears satisfactory to all
parties concerned. The big packing
plant in Armourdale, which has been
closed since last Thursday, was re-
opened at seven o'clock this morning
and the LOCO employees returned to
work. The best of feeling exists be-
tween the men and their employers,
and with the reopening of the house
and the return of the union men all
trouble that has heretofore existed
is buried and spirit of good
will prevails. When the COM
pany closed down its plant It
issued an ultimatum to the union
men that before the house would be re-
opened the men would be required to
sign an agreement to abide by certain
rules in settling their differences in
the future, The company had been
having considerable trouble with some
of its employees, who were con instantly
bringing up grievances and threaten
ing trouble, aud to guard against their
taking any advantage the manage
ment concluded to close the house
until the employees would agree to be
more moderate in their demands.
