CENTS AN HOUR
Arbitration Board Settles Dis.
---TaiIors' Demands
Are Granted.

The local strikes of both painters
and tailors were settled last Friday,
the former through arbitration while
the Duluth association of Merchant
Tailors agreed to the demands Of the
Duluth journeymen tailors.
Points of controversy between the
Painters and Decorators union and
Master Painter Of Duluth were set
tied when the arbitration board
granted the painters an increase of 1S
cents an hour with double pay for
overtime.
The question of wages was the
main issue before the board. Under
a contract entered into two years ago
the painters worked for SO cents an
hour up to April 1. Upon expira-
ton of the contract they demanded
80 cents an. hour and were out on
strike but one day when they re-
turned to work a week ago Saturday
under a tentative wage scale Of 20
cents an hour.
Arbitration Board Settles.
The board of. Al FILTRATION had the:
70-cent cent limits su omitted:

reached an agreements on 70 cents
! an hour retroactive to April l and:
continuing for one year.
The overtime.problem was settled
by granting. double time for over
time, little. change being made in the
! former arrangement with regard to
hours. The wage agreement was
| based upon the agreed. wage BEFORE
| the war plus an amount in proper

| The overtime settlement is calculated

Another Day That Was Great for
General Pershing.

When General PEBsHING was asked
on Monday whether any single event
in the war stood out in his memory
as a climax he unhesitatingly re-
piled: Cutting the lines at Sedan on
November Chat was the climax"
1t will be remembered that New
York and other towns went mad with
Joy on November Z, the false report
Of the signing of the armistice being
the cause. Yet If America had known
that day what PERsHING knew the
Cay before-that the achievement of
an American army had really ended
the war-thls nation would have had
Its wild fling and 1t need not have
looked sheepish the next day.
1t was evident, of course, that Ger
many was on the point of quitting,
but It was not known exactly what
a part the Yankees had played; that
they had overcome, In struggle ten
fold as great as the Battle of the
Wilderness, forty German divisions.
The fight had ragged In the Meuse-
Argonne sector since September %,
but 1t was not until November 6 that
PERsHING knew that the end was
come-and knew that the Germans
knew it. In his report to the Secre-
tary of War, dated November 20, he
described the climax:
ION the eth [of Novemberl diu-
sion Of the First Corps reached a

twenty-five miles from our line Of
departure. The strategical goal
which was our highest hope was
gained. We had cut the enemy's'
main line, Of communications and
nothing but surrender or an armis-
tice could save his army from COM
plete disaster"
Small wonder, then. that General
PERsHINa did not have to think twice
&c recall his greatest day in Europe.
