The strike of the inside electric
workers of local No. 6 will probably
be settled tonight at the special meet
ing Of the union at SCI McAllister
street. The committee Of ten chosen
by the dissatisfied members OF No.
held two executive sessions with con-
tractors yesterday The result OF the
conference was not made public, but
1t Is believed a tentative agreement
with the employers was formed and
which will be considered at the meet
ing tonight. No official action has
been attempted with the organized
contractors, as the men of No. are
not taking the field for the raise In
the wage scale. but as individuals.
The action tonight will be as union.
AS result of the trouble several
dozen boys were called from Jobs
where the employers had refused to
grant the demand of the men. The
union electricians believe the young
workers were placed on the contracts
to give semblance of resumption of
operations. Thirty-one of the union
men went back to work yesterday,
according to a statement given out
at the headquarters of the executive
committee. These men will receive Sc
a day.

and expressing a determination to wage
an earnest war against the Citizens
Alliance and other foes of organized

Joiners of America, at recent meet
ing. The union is committed by the
resolutions to retain Judge Dibble in
the defense of it's president, F. p.
Nicholas, who is now on trial for an
alleged offense committed in this city.
The action of the opposers of the
union is stated in the resolution to be
purely political in nature and to have
been undertaken with the intention of
discrediting the cause OF organized
labor. An appeal to aid the cause is
issued to the other branches of organ
lied labor in the city.
