PAINTERS WIN ARE BACK ON
v THE JOB TODAY
The strength" of the "bosses' club,"
as' the painting contractors' union is
generally known, appears to . be
broken.
One thousand of the painters who
went, out on strike yesterday are
back at work today. Their, employ
- crs have signed the union contract,
granting every, demand of the union.
R. Lindelof, secretarvand treas
urer of the Painters' District Council,
expects that so many more employ
ers will have signed the union con
tract by Monday that 1,000 more men
will bebacjt at work. .
This will mean the breaking of the
strike.
All this is going on despite the fact
that the bosses' club. met night be
fore last andath of 'the 105 employ
ers belonging to it bound himself not
to give in to the union and posted a
forfeit of $1,000.
(If Lindelof 'b predictions as to the
number back at work by Monday are
true it will mean that 7,500 will be
' working under union contracts and
that only 2,500 will be walking the
streets.
The 2,500, of course, will be the
men in the employ of the loop con
tractors. As usual, they are going to
be the last to give in. )
Marshall Field & Co.'s retail house
. signed the union contract but the
wholesale housejfefused to do so. The
painters employejd in the retail de
partment will not go back until the
wholesale house signs the union con
tract also. -
