IRON WORKERS GET RAISE.
Go Back to Work on Compromise Of
12A Cents an Hour.

Go Back to Work on Compromise of
12H Cents an Hour.
Davenport, Sept 15.-Acceptance
of the 121a cents an hour compromise
wage increase granted by the. Quad
City Builders Exchange Saturday
was signalized Tuesday by the re-
turn to work of most Of the union
men and a resumption of building
activities.
Settlement of the wage dispute
with the iron workers eliminated the
last of series of disputes with the
building crafts which have retarded
construction work for several months
/ Contractors believe the present wage
scales will prevail now until spring
when a majority of the working
agreements terminate.
Trouble with tiron workers started
when the union men demanded Il
scale Of SIPS an hour, an increase Of
20 cents. A strike followed and tie
up was averted by the compromise
settlement granting the union men q
raise Of 1871 cents an hour.
Contractors claim under the/ terms
of the settlement signed with the
the wagons or cars to the. buildings
under construction will hereafter be
handled by common laborers instead
of by the iron workers. This ruling
works a saving Of approximately 60
per cent on the cost of handling the
steel, the contractors say

empty. The box in which the can
die had been placed wis filled with
