LABOR TROUBLES SETTLED.
Hart, Schaffner & Marx Reach Agree
ment with Their Employees.

The settlement of the controversy be-
tween Hart, Schaifner & Marx and their
5000 employees is considered in labor cir
cles victory for mediation and arbitra-
ton. The agreement between the firm
and the garment workers expires to-day.
The firm was presented with certain de-
mands several weeks ago, the most inn
portant of which was for the exclusive
employment of union labor This caused
a deadlock. The firm contended that the
rank and file Of their employees Were too
inexperienced in unionism, many of them
too transient and others too young to
realize the responsibility of an exclusive
ly union shop. Negotiations were brok
en- off and strike vote was taken.
AT this juncture j. +. Williams of
Streator, ILL.,, who was arbiter in for
mer disagreement between the firm and
the employees, succeeded in getting both
sides together. The agreement as signed
by all parties concerned provides for
preferential shop, as follows:
!. That the firm agrees to this prin-
ciple of preference, namely, that they
Will agree TO prefer union men in the
hiring of new employees. subject to rea-
sonable restrictions, and also TO prefer
slack work, subject TO reasonable pref
erenee to Older employees, to be arranged
by the board of arbitration, it being un-
derstood that all who have worked for
the firm six months shall be considered
old employees.
2. All other matters shall be deliber-
ated on and discussed by the parties in
interest, and if they are unable to reach
an agreement the matter in dispute shall
be submitted to the arbitration board for
its final decision.
8. Until an agreement can be reached
by negotiations by the parties in inter
est or in case of their failure to agree
and decision is announced by the arbi-
tration board, the old agreement shall be
considered as being in full force and
effect.
International President Thomas A.
Riekert, who was in the city last week,
urged that settlement be made with
Hart, Schaffner & Marx, because the
firm had lived up to its former agree
ment TO the letter.-Chicago Examiner,
