Following an unusually long series OF

sntatives Of team drivers. the building
trades council and the district labor
trades council. the settlement OF the
differences between the team owners and
drives in East Chicago and Indiana Har-

The final method OF settlement was
submission 10 a court of arbitration
composed Of eight members OF the laber
council and eight representatives OF the
various classes of building and material
men. including one representative of
the team owners.
At first thou ght this would seem TO be
a fair method OF selecting a court. Some
Of the team owners were not satisfied.
however. inasmuch as the drivers side
would naturally he taken by the labor
council and inasmuch as the building
and material men were selected some
what al random BY the various sub-or-
ganizations with the possibility Of hay
ing a union sympathized on the board.
The report is that this prediction on the
part Of several team owners was fulfilled
and that as a result the settlement gave
the drivers ga cents on hour more than
the team owners felt that they could
possibly give.
The scale for the ensuing year as a
result OF the settlement will be 81 =
cents for ten hour day. The team
owners felt that so cents on a ten hour
day was their limit. 1t is believed,
however. that all parties Will sign UP.
