MAYOR TAKES A HAND IN THE
BRICKMAKERS' STRIKE
Mayor Harrison took a hand in the
brickmakers1 strike yesterday .and
ruled in favor of the men.
Harrison was drawn into it as a
result of a new hitch in the peace
negotiations over a disputed clause.
This "clause, inserted by the union,
was to be a protection against indis
criminate discharging of men by the
bosses, without first submitting their
kick against the men fired to the
union.-
The representatives of the bosses
agreed to stand by the mayor's ruling
providing the wording of the clausfe
was changed. The union consented
to the change. Peace agreements
will probably be signed Monday
morning and the men will return to
work.
