GENERAL ELECTRIC
STRIKE IS ENDED
Trades Alliance Ratifies Peace
Agreement Submitted To-,
day by Conferees.

SCHENECTADY, N. Y, Nov. %
The conferees reached an official
agreement for the settlement of the
strike at the General Electric Conn
pany plant today.
A copy of the agreement was sent
to the Trades Alliance, which ap-
proved it at noon.
Statements were issued by the COM
pany, the strike leaders and Mayor
Lunn. expressing satisfaction over the
adjustment of differences.
The strike leaders statement said
the strike was due largely to a mis-
understanding and advised all the
workers to report at their old places
on Monday morning. At meetings
this afternoon the unions were Tor
nally notified of the settlement.
The agreement contemplates the re-
opening of the shops next Monday
on either part or full time, as the
company sees fit
All of the striking employees, in
cluding Frank Dujay and Miss Mabel
Leslie, union leaders, whose removal
caused the strike, may return TO
work. Miss Leslie will have her old
position. Another place will be found
for Dujay. Work in the department
in which he was employed has been
slack, and it was said there was moth
ing for him to do in his old place.
If it is found necessary to put some
of the employees on short time, the
agreement is that the out-of-town
men shall be reduced first and then
the hours of the single men. This is
the same plan that was followed in
1907

Twenty-Five Reasons for
Becker Appeal Are Given;
Conspiracy Is Charged

NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-Twenty-five
reasons why former Police Lieuten-
ant Charles Becker should not be
executed for the murder of Herman
Rosenthal, the gambler, will be pre-
sented next week to the State Court
of Appeals. Becker is now in Sing
Sing prison under sentence of cleo
trocution. His attorneys said today
that the court probably would devote
four days to hearing arguments on
his appeal from conviction.
Becker. says the appellants brief,
is "a victim of the greatest con-
spiracy of the age. He was not
given chance for his life. The eff
feet of the ruling of that court made
the trial a mockery."
One of the arguments in Becker's
behalf will be that Sam Schepps, the
chief corroborative witness for the
State. was an accomplice. His attor-
neys complain that the trial was
rushed through and that Becker was
convicted by public opinion.

She Plans Suicide.

the gas in the bathroom of her home,
Al South Eleventh street, today,
wrapped herself in a bed quilt and
lay down in the bathtub. with pill
low under her head.
Fifteen minutes later Mrs. Henry
Gill, who occupies the second floor
apartment, detected the odor of gas
coming up from the first story. She
called her husbands attention to 1t.
He went downstairs and knocked at
the Arrandale apartment, but OBJ
tained no response.
His wife, with ready wit, suggested
that he should go to the cellar and
look at the gas meters to see which
one was registering a flow of gas.
He found that the hand on one of the
dials in the Arrandale meter was
moving. lE
At that discovery he went out and
ltelephoned to the Fourth precinct po-
lice. 1t was then O.. m. Patrolman

found Mrs. Arrandale moaning in the
bathtub. He carried her out of the
gas-filled room and called the City
Hospital ambulance.

Mrs Arrandale was in a critical con-
dition. y
