bring about settlement Of the.trouble. After A
long discussion. I'm which hard words said
both sides. the employers committee agreed
20 all the demands of the strikers. including
recognition OF the union. except the wages de-
nsnd for third and fourth hands.
The employers and the bakers afterward held
meetings at which reports were made of the
result Of the conference. IT was believed last
night that the two committees will. get together
again and that the whole trouble will be over
Tomorrow.
The conference took place at the rooms of the
Educational Alliance. Jefferson-st. and East

by Joseph Barondess and Herman Robinson

ten hour work day and other demands. but
dispute arose on the wage question. The de-
nands of the strikers were for 500 SIS. SO and
