STRIKE SETTLEMENT ON BLINK

Expectation that 110,000 building trades workmen would return to work in Chicago Thursday was dissipated by the announcement of the carpenters’ district council that the men had voted to reject the 92 cents an hour offered by the employers, to remain firm for $1 an hour. Efforts of federal mediators and Mayor Thompson were believed to have brought about a settlement, until announcement of the vote was made.
