New Agreement Between Agents and
Stone Cutters.

Chicago, July 22.--Aftcr months of idleness,
thirty cut stone contractors many Of them
members of the Building Contractors council,
have entered into an agreement with the Of
fccrs of the Stone Cutters union to resume
work and to submit all differences which may
arise to permanent arbitration committee
Of ten. The agreement takes away from the
business agents of the Stone Cutters union a
large part of their power, as according TO its
provisions they are unable to order a strike
until the members Of the arbitration committee
have been unable to agree and their union has
voted to order the strike.
Heretofore strikes have been called whenever
the business agent saw fit and arbitration has
been resorted to only after strikes have been
called.
