After three weeks’ contest, the strike of the hod carriers and general laborers is at an end, & compromise having been ef- * fected of 65 cents an hour for an eight hour day, with time and one half for overtime and double time for Sundays and holidays. The laborers were receiv- ing 50 cents an hour and demanded in- creasé to 75 cents. They declined the offer of 60 cents offered by the employ- ers and the strike resulted. Last week the strikers ultimatium was declared to be 80 cents an hour it their demand for 75 cents was not met by Monday. This proposition did not change the attitude of the employers. Through the efforts of Organizer Mc- Grady and a committee of the Central Labor Union, the employers and strikers Eot together, and compromised on 65 cents an hour. Many of the strikers returned to work Tuesday and the others are ready to re- sume as soon as places are open to them. It is expected that work on the Pleasant View new highway will be re- sumed at onee, but it could not be learn- ed Tuesday whether the contractor would begin work on the Bradford high- ‘way.- The Di Forno brothers, who have the contract for sewer construction, and who removed their working outfit, in part, elsewhere, may not be able to re- sume work for some time. This de- pends uBon the condition of their other comtracts, as they were relieved of work *.®n the sewer construction until the labor market was settled, or until such time as they could resume without serious loss or inconvenience.
