BOSTON, July Ito counter
balance to some extent the effects of
the rail. coal and textile strikes in
New England. the builders and trades
unions have signed a wage contract
here for the first time since the
strike of over year ago. Plasterers
and bricklayers get $1.12h an hour
and nearly all other skilled lines get
81 ah hour. Common labor will be
paid 56 cents an hour. These prices
are based on Ave and one-haif days a
week and time and a-half will be
paid for overtime and double time
for Sundays and holidays.
The Industrial outlook. except for
the labor situation, is unquestionably
good. There have been no factory
shutdowns yet but the supplies of
coal in New England are very small
sumed Immediately on big scale II
seems inevitable that curtailment
must be made.
Train schedules in New England
have been maintained by the New
Haven road and the Boston and Al
bany and Boston and Maine. The
railroads have been able to operate
their shops with forces at one-third
to one-half of normal. The textile
mills which were closed by the strike
last winter are nearly all operating
in a small way and gradually IN
creasing the number of employees at
work each week. Given salts

strikes, experts believe general busi-
