Agreement Fixes Nine Hour
Day With Decrease in
Following Periods
As the result of the persistent
efforts of the conciliation com
mittee a compromise agreement
was signed yesterday which
brought to an end the strike of
\u2666he iron workers. As stated ex
clusively in yesterday's Call, the
men will return to work during
the coming week. More than
20,000 men, in 28 unions, are af
fected, and a daily pay roll of
$50,000, suspended on May "1,
when the men went on strike, will
be restored. '
The Settlement t of the -strike -is
especially noteworthy, as it marks
the successful termination of. the
efforts \u25a0of the conciliation com
mittee, composed of men whose .chief
aim in the negotiations was to .re
establish industrial peace In San Fran
cisco. The members of the committee
who brought the two 6ides together are
Frank -W. Marvin. Rev. George W.
White and George J. Wellington.
The terms of settlement are in the na
ture of a three j-ears' agreement. The
men struck for an eight hour day. They
will return to work on a nine hour
schedule, but a lessening scale of hours
has been drawn up which will bring
about the eight hour day by 1910. A
section of the new agreement .provides
that a conference may be called either
by the employers or employes to provide
for some method of adjusting any ques
tion that may arise In the future, and
that pending a decision there shall be
no lockout or strike.
