NEARLY ALL ALL BACK ON JOB.
Most Of Local Strikers Return to Work
Within Time Limits

The feature of news interest in the local
labor world this week, aside from the
situation among the carpenters, is the
fact that nearly all of the local railroad
employees who went out on strike returned
TO work within the time limit set by the
companies. Conditions are approaching
normal the railroad officials say. It
was said that a number of men who did
not report back for work within the time
limit have been re-employed but were
placed on the reserve" list.
In this connection it may be said that
there is considerable talk among the
railroad men, and it is rumored that
something may develop within the next
few days An informal meeting was held
last night of workers in different railroad
crafts
Many new members were initiated dur
ing the week in the leather workers locals
AT the meeting of Plumbers Local
No. 20 last night, Robert ". Kramer,
business manager, announced that the
agreement entered into between the
plumbers and the master plumbers only
called for standard wage scale of 81 an
hour. The prevailing impression that the
men We're getting sl.25 an hour, he said,
or that the master plumbers had agreed
to pay this rate, Is wrong.
