armies of Won Hutier and Won der

this region. although the Flanders
depots are filled with drafts. indi-

CIGAR STRIKE
SETTLED BY
LABOR BOARD
Employees Of Ofterdinger
Factory Reach Agreement
with Employer.

The eight weeks strike of the girl
cigar and cigarette makers of offter-
dinger's factory came to an amicable
end yesterday afternoon through the
good offices OF the Department of La
Dor In whose hands the dispute was
put by the Taft-Walsh War Labor
Board nearly two weeks ago.
Terms withheld.
Though the exact figures are I'M
obtainable now, 1t is known that the
strikers were granted substantial in
creases in wages while their demand
for better sanitary working condi-
tons in the factory was acceded to
by their employer. The right Of the
workers to organize was fully af-
firmed by the Department OF Labor.
Indications last night pointed that
both sides were thoroughly content
with the arrangement agreed upon
and an unusually pacific and salts
factory meeting OF representatives of
the strikers and Offterdinger and his
counsel, Judge Daniel Thew Wright
throughout the settlement of the af-
fair. are reported to have been
made.
Accompanying a delegation of
twelve employees of the factory, led
by Mrs. Rebecca Perry, chairman,
were Mrs. Clifford Pinchot and
Robert Brueure. RepresentatinC
the Department of Labor were Com
missioners OF Cancellation Rowland
B. Mahany and Walter d. Davidge.
The general good will which mark
ed the proceedings on both sides
reached a climax yesterday. when
Mrs. Perry. spokesman for the en-
ployes. expressed in behalf of the
strikers, the greatest confidence and
respect for Mr.. Offterdinger.
Neither Mrs. Perry nor any OF the
representatives of the strikers
would make any statement concern
ing the settlement of the strike last
night, though one Of the latter said
that a formal statement would be
forthcoming probably tomorrow
bearing upon the matter.
