last night the carpenters who went
out Wednesday morning were report.
ed 10 have signed up five more OF the

Schriyer, Of the carpenters, spoke very
enconrasingly Of conditions and stated
that by next Monday morning fally
four.ffths OF those who went out
would be back at work. The result
Of yesterdays work was very pleasing,
as those who had been seen regarding
the signing Of the scale had signed up
withou; any trouble anL several others
had slgnlliCd their willingness to sign
the agreement within the next res
days. At the present time there are
only about 100 men out OF employment,
but at the rate the contractors are
signing the scale this number will be
greatly reduced by Saturday.
Several of the contractors were In.
terylewed last evening regarding the
situation and all we're strong in the
opinion that the trUlble would be set.
tied In a few days. In fact, many would
sign as soon as they we're seen by rep.
resentatIres of the Carpenters Union.
The present condition Of the building
trades Will have n great tendency to
bring settlement, as building opera,
tIons were never SO brisk.
There was no meeting OF the car.
