Carpenters’ Strike Ends After Night’s Meeting.

Chicago breathed a sigh of relief Saturday when it was announced the carpenters’ strike had been ended after an all night session. The session resembled that which ended the street car strike in that the men were locked in a room. At the end of the meeting the committees come to the following principle provisions: The carpenters will receive 70 cents an hour for the next three years. Working conditions will be based on the uniform form of agreement offered by the contractors, designed to prevent strikes and lockouts. There is to be no restriction regarding the source of material.
