THOUSANDS RETURN TO WORK

Skilled Mechanics aS New York Accept Modified Plans of Now York Employers’ Association. New York, July 14.—Some twenty thousand skilled mechanics in the building trades returned to work under the modified plans of the Employers’ Association. This number will be increased to 50,000 by Wednesday, unions with that membership having voted to accept the terms of the employers, one of the effects of which is to do away with the walking delegates and refer all disputes to a joint board of arbitration. With the mechanics a large number of laborers returned to work and operations were resumed by material supply men.
