i —, 7 { | TRUCE WITH LABOR | EXPECTED 19 BOOM - BRULING IN ITY Mechanics Agree to*Accept $8 a Day fora Year and Will Refuse to Strike. AB Ronn 8 the papers have been Migned an enormous impetus is looked for in building operations in New York as n result of existing harmony im tho building trados, One result will be better housing conditions next year, and it bids fair to be a strike- lems year, The main points of a settlement at- fecting 115,000 men have been deter- mined, and at a meeting to-morrow in the offices of the Building Trades Employers’ Assoeintion, No. 30 West 334 Street, tho finishing touches will be added. “Our conferences with the unions have been pleasant, and we aro Jook- ing forward to a satisfactory termi- nation," said Ronald Taylor, Presi- dent of thie employers’ body, to-day. Practically the same position was taken by Robert P. Brindell, Presi- dent of the recently organized Build- ing Trades Council, representing the labor unions invotved. He said that the main issues affected bad been practically settled. The attitude of the employers, | since the opening of the negotiations, has boen that they are not so much interested in the question of wages as they are determined that, once these have been settled, no increases are to be made uutil the end of tho building geason, It was the constantly recurring de- mands of the various trades that, | during the last year, made it impos- gible to arrive at even an approximate estimate of what a certain building operation would cost, because, before it was completed, labor costs might have advanced To mect this condition, so-called basic wages have been suggested for he basic wage for a m | mor jlayers, who get $8.50, and who have [that these men lose more ti {cause of bad wedther than the worl |it is assumed that living coe | Chamber of Indian Princes if the present settlement js finally japproved, will be §8 a day, and for helpers $6. The only trade receiving than ghis is that of the brick- not peen represented at the meetings with the employers. It is explained e be. ora in Gny other trade, and that, for this reason, their higher wage is justified, The chief ends which, it is thought, the new instrument to be drawn al tween the two parties will, accom- plish ‘are: 1. The elimination of strikes aris- ing from demands for higher wages in violation of @: ‘ing contracts, 2, Increases in wages to meet the added cost of-living. The raises will average about $1 a day per and will not mount higher, a. Tye minimizing of so-called “aiffercntials” In pay between the varions crafts, which have been the fruitful ground for disputes in the past. 4. An attempt to avoid strikes aris- ing from so-called jurtedictional dis- putes and from similar causes which ave their root tn inter-union affairs, and not in the relations between em- ployer and employees, Union men profess to be hopeful | that strikes may be avoided altogether, or at least minimized, for the coming year, The two sides agree that a tremehdous step forward has been made in the manner in which negotla- tions have been conducted. For this purpose the former Board of Business Agents of tho Building Trades has heen abandoned, and the newly estab- lished Building ‘Trades Council, repre- senting forty-ono unions in the tn- dustry, has takon its place, In the past each trade conducted Its conferences with the employers sepa- rately, and the result was that tho outcome always brought jealousy and iil-feeting. ‘Trades which found they had not received as large increases as tho more fortunate ones would lthreaten strikes, ahd very often make their threats good. ten 203,089. 1L—A revised list of Amorican casualtics, showing & total of 293,089, wae Innued to-day.

WASHINGTON, Nov, 11.—The Su- preme Court has affirmed the ac- tion of the District Court of New York in sentencing Jacob Abrams, Samuel Lipman, Hyman Lachowsky and Mollie Stelmet, convicted of conspiracy to violate provisions of the Espionage Act. Abrams and Lipman will have to serve fifteen years each, Lachowsky three and the Steimer woman fifteen in prison and Day various fines, Tn three different counts the de- fendants were convicted of “unlaw- fully uttering, printing and distribut- ing disloyal, scurrilous and abusive language about the form of the Gov- ernment of the United States.” The Purpose, the courts decided, was “to bring the Government into contempt And to Incite, provoke and encourage « resistance to the United States in the world war.” It was found that the defendants conspired to curtail pro- duction of munitions of war. Associate Justices Holmes and| Brandeis dissented. They held that) tho defendants were within their rights. In handing down the opinion of bey court, Associate Justice’ Clark Wo shall not need to consider the "= |suMclency of the evidence introduced as to all of the counts of the indict- ments, for, since the sentence impose did not exceed that which might la fully have been imposed under any ringle count, the judgment upon the verdict of the jury must be affirmed if the evidence introduced is sufficient to sustain any one of the counts,” The court's quotations from the 7 {revolutionary pamphlets distributed by ut Abrams and bis associa before the war a package during the war and a package NOW THE FLAVOR LASTS SO DOES THE PRICE! 1 ‘ President a yard" | power undoubtedly in ereater in time) i] nding troops to.
