With more than 200 tailors back at ‘work under an agreement effected yes- terday by arbitrators in their strike.$ nhegotiations were under way today for ‘® settlement with department stores &nd customs tailor shops involved in The dispute | The compromise agreement, accept- ed yesterday by both the clothiers and | the strikers, affects tailors, pressers | and helpers employed in specialty | &tores which sell ready-to-wear ap- parel. Herman Holtznecht, national or- ganizer for the Amalgamated Clothing ‘Workers of America, said the agree- ment specified a minimum wage for tailors of $33 a week, $22.50 for press- ‘ers and $20 for their helpers, and a “#4-hour maximum work week. p Recognition Held Granted. The agreement also specified the stores would recognize the union, he ¥aid. The union had demanded a minimum wage of $36 for tailors and $ressers, $22 for their helpers and a $0-hour week. | One of the custom tailors, whose | Pmployes are still out on strike pending | # final settlement for tailors working | on piecework, protested against a charge made by Holznecht when the strike was called that tailors work from %4 to 60 hours a week for salaries ranging from $21 to $30 a week. The protest came from Fred D'Elia ©of the firm of D'Elia & Marks, Inc., who said his 20 employes “never have averaged less than $33 a week.” Make Up to $60 Week. “In season, my employes draw as much as $60 a week,” he said. “In Jess busy seasons they make as much as $42, and even in dull periods they Teceive $30 a week. We've been pay- ing wages about 10 per cent higher than those demanded by the union dn calling the strike.” D'Elia said the union now is de- manding an increase of 20 per cent Above his current scale, He added | Jhat “no one has been around yet to ssubmit a proposed agreement.” “A statement such as Mr. Holtz- | necht made reflects on the tailors,” he &aid. “We certzinly are not trying to gake advantage of labor.” Regarding hours, D'Elia said his employes often work 60 hours per Wweek in rush seasons, but in slacker yeriods they often work as few as 20 “hours, *_L;i’lOI' (Continued From First Page.) the organization of mass production workers. | Green invited the A.

By the Associatea Press. : VENICE, April 23.—Formation of s coalition government in Austria, with Naris taking part, was forecast today by the authoritative Giornale d'Italia at the conclusion of s con- ference between Premier Mussolini and Chancellor Kurt von Schuschnigg of Austria, The paper’'s editor, Virginio Gayds, often the mouthpiece of Mussolini, said that Italy approved of such & government. ‘The announcement followed an of- ficial communique on the conference, which said Mussolini and 8chuschnigg had agreed that Germany should par- ticipate in any settlement of problems SEVENT wants ing of Our Finest '3 APRIL 23, 19317. Basin, “Nazis in Austria,” said Gayds, “will soon be called upon to share responsibility with the (Schuschnigg’s) Fatherland front, first step for their direct participation in the Austrian government. Nomination Believed Near. “We believe the nomination of & Nationalist Socialist (Nazi) official for the Fatherland front is imminent. He, together with Schuschnigg and the secretary of the front, Zermatt, will negotiate for settlement of all problems existing between the two national movements.” (Austrian in- dependent and pro-German.) (Schuschnigg, only a month ago, took over the post of minister of in- ternal security after he had forced the resignation of Odo Neustaedter- Btuermer because of the latter's sup- port of proposals for formation of a Nationalist, pro-German soclety.
