ELECTRICIANS AGREE
 TO RESUME WORK

BUTTE, Mont, Aug. 2.-With a complete reversal of it's stand on the plan for the settlement of the strike here, the Electricians Union last night voted almost unanimously to accept the agreement drawn up by the Montana Power company and the unions strike committee. There was practically no change in the agree ment from the form in which it was rejected by the union at a special meeting last Wednesday night. The adoption of the settlement plan by the union last night is due to the efforts of International President Frank J. McNulty, of the Electricians who addressed the men last night be- fore the vote was taken. He explain ed that the union had violated it's international rules by going on strike : but that at the same time an agree ment for settlement has been secured that was as favorable to the union as any now existing ln the country. He told the men that unless the pro- posals were accepted the internation- al would at once order all electric ians employed at the mines back to work to carry out their contract pro- viding for thirty days notice of a strike. The union then voted to ac- cept the settlement plan. After the meeting. MT. McNulty announced the electricians would return to work ir- Respective of any action taken by the metal Trades council at it's special meeting Sunday afternoon.
