The agreement was arrived at at 1:30 esterday morning. after an ex- tended ‘meeting, twice adjourned. and marked by repeated efforts of partici- pants to explain to anxious wives their absence at such an hour. The agreement affects all concrete finishers in the District of Columbia and adjoining territory, and represents the culmination of a controversy which at one time threatened to cause a seri- ous tie-up in building work Representatives of the union men who signed the agreement for the con- crete finishers were David N.
