tile labor board. Inc board Is
understood to have given the
German plan its full APP
proval.
Charles A. Young, plant man.
aver Of the indianapolis Bleaching
Company. against which the strike
here is directed, said he consid-
rede the German plan a very wise
one, when told Of 1t by The Times
Work Starts Tuesday
I shall follow all recommended
tons Of the textile board. Mr.. Young
told The Times. and l shall en-
deavor 10 correct any conditions in
the plant here about which the
union might complain"
He pointed out that it would be
impossible to return the strikers to
their Jobs Monday. because Of
necessary adjustments to be made in
the plants machinery and opera
tions. These corrections can be
made, however. so that at least 240
workers may return TO work Tuesday
morning and the rest of the strikers
will be returned as soon as work for
them becomes available.
The settlement today came unex-
pectedly following the riotous re-
lection by the union of the propo-
sition~ submitted by the company
at the conference in the mayors
Office yesterday.
Company Yields Somewhat
In this proposition the company
had yielded somewhat to the strik-
ers' demands in promising to return
PAS strikers to work Immediately
and to hire no one but strikers I'M
I'll all are returned to work.
The company also stated that it
would use its Judgment on the re-
hiring OF workers who might be
convicted OF engaging in acts OF
violence and stated that the cotton
mill would be operated on two thir-
ty-hour shifts and the bleachery on
one forty hour shift.
When the proposition was submit
ted last night without recommended
ton TO a meeting of Local No. 2069,
United Textile Workers Of America,
II was answered by such chorus OF
Nos" and "boos" that union leaders
declared no further vote was neces-
Sary.
Leaders Address Union
Charles p. Drake. business agent
Of the local. indicated that the pro-
posaI was rejected because 1t made
no provision for the discharge of
those who had been hired during
the course of the strike to fill the
places Of the union members who
had walked out.
The meeting was addressed by a
number Of union leaders. including
Alexander J. icKeown. Of the u. T.
W. A. executive council. a veteran
Of many strikes. who told the strik-
ers that they perhaps had been
OverhaSty in rejecting in two sec
onds a proposal which was the re-
suit Of many hours of work and
study.
Since YOU have rejected this
proposition" Mr.. McKeown declared.
you must carry on the fight for a
trade union agreement. including
the right Of arbitration. and all that
IL means. When 7 say fight do
not mean you must throw bricks,
for YOU must remember that there
are better WAYS of settling labor dis
puteS than strikes Of violence"
Six Men Arrested
Mr.. McKeown. who was present
al the conference in the mayors
Office yesterday. promised that he
would continue TO take part in the
negotiations here until the strike
was settled satisfactorily.
Drake indicated later that the
union would accept a reasonable
offer when IL was made, but he in
sisted that the strikers would con-
tinue their war" until the COM
pany would be forced to accept the
terms Of the workers.
Police arrested six strikers who
had broken windows OF an automo-
bile carrying workers away from
the plant near Washington street
and White river late yesterday. The
workers in the car said they had
been threatened with hammers
carried BY their attackers.
