CARP; TIERS WIN
81 WAGE SCALE
Union Settles With Contractors
Thursday Morning Follow.
ing Very Brief Conference.

The carpenters win. They settled
with the contractors Thursday morn
ing, the Builders exchange having
little to do with the matter. A mini
mum scale of one dollar an hour is to
be paid effective at once. Only a
verbal agreement was made, but it
will remain in force for one year.
The first conference with the con-
tractors was held Monday at which
the offer Of the Builders exchange
for wage of from Is cents to one
dollar an hour was discussed, the
representatives of the union strongly
holding out for a minimum of one
dollar.
The final conference was held
Thursday morning. 1t lasted but five
minutes. The contractors announced
their Willingness to accede to the de.
mands of the union and clear yer.
bal understanding was had as to al
the conditions that shall prevail. The
union was represented in the confer.
enc'e by Abe Jappe, president; HECTIC,
Mclean, vice president; Henry Ste.
vens, business agent; Nick Olson
John Lyons and A. Asplund. The
contractors were represented by Emf
Zauft, John Grandy, James r. Stack
Alexander Anderson, j.. Jacobson
James Falconer, Frank Carlson anl
several others whose names canno
be learned at this writing.
The members of the union went OF
strike Monday morning. At meet
ing held Saturday afternoon it wa!
voted that no union carpenter woult
go to work Monday except for sucl
contractors as were not members O.
the Builders exchange, an would pa,
the unions new wage scale.
The union met Thursday afternoon
just as The Labor World is going tt
press. It is expecte that the agree
ment made by the union committee
will be ratified and all members viii
return to work Friday morning.

Low SALARY IS
NO ATTRACTION
Police Department Short Of Men
on Account Of Low Wages
Paid to Patro|men.

The Duluth police department Is
several patrolmen short and, accord
ing ITO Capt. A. G. Fiskett, there is
little likelihood Of getting good men
to join the force unless the city makes
provision for the payment of higher
salaries:
I'VE cannot compete with the wages
that are being Offered by other en-
ployers," said Capt. Fiskett today.
1.-The salary of Sis per month to
start with is no inducement for good
men. We are now half dozen men
short of what we should have to cover
the beats, to say nothing of being
unable to provide traffic policemen"
II have three or four men in view
for the job Of motorcycle policeman"
said Chief of Police John Murphy.
Il am not sure of any of them. It
is impossible to say whether a man
who applies for appointment today
will be available for the appointment
tomorrow. In the meantime someone
else may have got to him and offered
him more money and then we will
have to look for some other appli-
CANT
The low wage scale is said to be
the principal cause because men are
not available for positions on the
force The wages for the first year
offered by the department are $115
per month, the second year $40 and
after two years 1925. Chief Murphy
has recommended that increases in all
departments of the force be made, but
so far no action has been taken by
the city commissioners.

Alliance are very much alarmed over

Practically all team and truck

a. walkout of more than ESQ local
members Of the International Brother
hood Of Transfers. Chauffeurs, Sta
blemen and Helpers of America. Union
officials reported that two other con-
Germs, in addition to three yesterday,
had signed the union agreement, which
provides for the employing Of union
men only and paying of 60 cents an
hour for truck drivers and so cents an
hour for teamsters. Employers and
employees held separate meetings last
night for a general discussion Of the
situation.

truckers. Officials Of these companies
say, report that none of the men have
reported for work: They have been

DULUTH. BAKERS
COMET CETHER
Master Bakers and Union Find
Way Of Settling Difference
Without a Strike.

While most people were talking OF
labor strikes on May 1 little attention
was given to collective agreements
that were made by and between uni
ons and employers without cessation
of work. Among the Duluth unions
that settled up with an increase in
wages with no strike was the local
Bakers union.
Herman Ross of Chicago, organ
lzer> for the International Bakers
union, came to Duluth this week, Wis
tied the master bakers, declared at
the outset there would be no strike,
and left town Wednesday with a
union shop agreement in his pocket,
and that is some victory in face of
the opposition set up by the local
Citizens Alliance.
Speaking of the matter when he
had completed his work here, Organ
izer Ross said to The Labor World:
THE bakers have adjusted their dif-
ferences in peaceful manner. On
account Of the high cost of living
which affects the bakery workers as
we'll as all other citizens an increase
in wages of IS a week was readily
SOAAS0AOu NY L1Ac 1IldSlcI UdhcISs IIlS
eight-hour day was also conceded.
This is a reduction in working time
of one hour day.
'The union yielded in its demand
for the cessation of night work at this
time on account of outside competi-
ton, and the expense that some en-
ployers would have to make in re-
modelling their plants, but the union
will continue to advocate day WORK
only where it is possible without in
juring the baking industry. Night
workers are to be given So a week
more than day workers. The best of
relations prevail between the en-
ployers and the union"
Mr.. Ross left for St. Paul immedi-
stely after the completion Of his work
here, where he hopes to adjust In q
like manner differences between St.
Paul bakeries and the union.

INSIDE. WIRE WORKERS
CONTINUE ON STRIKE

The strike of the inside wire: work.
ers is progressing satisfactorily so far
as the union is concerned. The cleo
trical contractors are advertising for
non-union wire men to work in "open
shops but they are getting very few
responses.
Strikebreaking is not very popu-
lar pastime these days, an workmen
find it to their advantage to keep
their records Clean Men who have
worked as strikebreakers have found
out to their sorrow that employers
don't remember and labor never for
gets. When their days work is over
they have a longing to associate with
their fellow tradesmen. Strikebreak-
ing outlaws them from social rela-
tionship with fellows worth while.
The Builders exchange and the
electrical contractors made a serious
mistake when they posted notices vir-
tually repudiating collective bargain
ing with the Electrical Workers:
union.
The electrical contractors have all
tatives Of the union. The other eve-
ming a conference was held with con-
tractors &of Superior. The Duluth
union had representatives there as
did also, Buluth contractors, who re-
fused to- sit in while the union COM
mittee was in the room. J. F. Stat
terry of Chicago is here representing
the International union. It is said
that he is in conference with local
contractors today as The Labor
World goes to press.

When Milady Gardens
She Is Enhancing

Summer gardening among the
fair is the thing this summer
and dictators of summer fash
ions have taken advantage of the
craze by designing garden frocks
that are most alluring. Milady
must be fetching even in the
garden, for she is clever enough
to know that dress has been the
cause of many a tragedy and
that many a romance has been
woven near the English rose
garden by the blooming poppy or
near the garden pool that sup
ports blue-spired hyacinths, To-
tus and creeping fox. Be your
garden of whatever color scheme
it may, designers have caught
it's beauty on the warp or wool
of a garden frock, just too
charmingly sweet to resist, could
you see it. Chiffon cotton crepes
there are, printed with climbing
roses that cling to a trellis or
borders of blue larkspur and
yellow humming birds. There
are Bo Peep smocks that may
tip either a skirt or a distinc-
tive pair of brooches that are
tucked into boots.
