Consent to Observe Agreement
Effected by Judge A|schu|er
For Another Year.

WASHINGTON, April 24-The five
big meat packing companies Of Chi
cago have joined in letter to Secre-
tary of Labor Wilson. announcing
their willingness to continue the ex-
isting labor agreements for. one year
after the signing Of peace. The COM
munication reads:
''As the existing labor agreements
under which we have been operating
during the period of the war will ex-
pire with the declaration of peace,
and in order to avoid labor controv-
ersies and to promote the general wel-
fare during the troublous period of
reconstruction, we have. in line with
the policy of your department, told
the representatives of our employees,
and now desire to advise you. that we
are willing to continue present agree
ments for the term Of one year after
peace is declared"
"The policy announced by the pack
ers will have beneficial effect, not
only in this country, but it will serve
to allay the fears and apprehensions
OF the peoples in European countries,
who. for at least year will be almost
entirely dependent upon America for
meat products" the labor department
asserts.
Wages, hours of labor. and general
working conditions. are embraced in
the agreements which the; packers an
nounce their Willingness to continue.

Increase.

NEW YORK. April 24.-At a joint
meeting of harbor strikers and boat
owners, called by James L. Hughes,
federal conciliator Of the United
States department. of labor, and pre-
sided over by the mayor. the harbor
strike, which has lasted for eight
weeks, was ended on saturday by an
agreement on 10 and 12-hour day
and an increase in wages. All of the
workers were back on their jobs
Monday. The workers insist that the
1o-hour day granted with meals
served on the boats, will not be the
equivalent of the eight-hour day for
which they have held out. and which
the boat owners have refused. but
say that they will concede the point
for the good of the city,.
