0C0 men had been called out.
The agreement, which will last until
November, 1916, calls for the creation
os wage and piece-price standards, TO
be put into effect by the next spring
season. A committee composed of five
members from each faction and an i'm
partial chairman are TO make these
standards. Pending the settlement Of
the standards all price reductions made
since the strike Of 1913 shall be re-
stored on basis of 80 per cent in the
coats and pants trade and 100 per cent
in the vest trade.
When standards are settled union
shop principles will be recognized, and
pending the settlement preference will
be given union shops.

faction, will settle all disputes. Appeal
