STRIKE !S ENDED AT LAST.
Bricklayers Obtain an Advance of Five
Cents an Hour on Pressed
Brick Work,
At n conference held yesteiduy morn
ing between ccmmltteti repreienticg
the striking bricklayers nud lossi-s, it
was decided that the men would return
to work. The meeting was held in the
office ot Conrad Schroodir in the com
monwealth building.
The following notice was issued from
Ihe Union :
The arbitration committee of the Hriek
Lavers' Union, No. IS, met the bricklaei
Contractor ot this city today and have
agreed upon terms, for the settlement of
their grievances for one year, to the first
of May, 1808. Approved by the president
ot the union. William JohiTOoM,
1'resideut.
Tiie workmen nnd contractors bad
held n conference Saturday at the
room of the Builders' esohange, where
the ultimatum of the builder was an
nounced that the men should return at
the old l'5-cent scale. A compromise
was offered by the men an 1 refused by
the contractors, involving h rate higher
than tho old one but less than th- rate
demauded by the men when the strike
recurred. The Saturday maeting ad
journed without any agreement, but
to reconvene in Mr. Sobroeder's office,
where the men signified their willing
ness to return to work.
The future rate will be the same ns
the old one, 35 cents an hour, except
that 5 cents per hour addltlodal Will be
paid men laying pressed brick
A number of the men will begin
work at onco on the new ltobinson
building on the Sonfh Side. Mr.
Bohroeder has a number of Pniladel
phia bricklayers at work on the brick
foundation pillars for the now Mears
building at the corner of Spruce street
and Washington avenue. As loug as
they give satisfaction they will bj re
tained. The result of tho strike is nlmot a
complete victory for the contractors.
Nothing was gained by the men ex cept
ing the additional 5 cents per hour on
pressed brick. It is quite likely that
this item could have been obtained
without resortiug to the striking meth
ods. The mtm have been out about
live weeks.

HOPEFUL BUSINESS OUTLOOK
Basid on Ooal Outpu', Rivival of Trade
I Predated.
At a lime when the whole country is
in the midst of or recovering from a
general financial depression, whichever
way it may individually be considered,
it may bs of interest for Scranton busi
uess men to know that Hourly all the

gentlem iu who is oonvcrsint with coal
matters, tbe future outlook is bright.
Besnldi
"Following the Stlmului given the
anthracite trade an 1 local buoyancy
givun by the May output, comes addi
tional gratification by reason of tho ac
tion of tho operators in deciding that
the June output eh ill bi at least 03
n-r cent., bused on October figures
Up to yesterday the mines have been
running full time and exo'ediog the
percentage, Tnis shows it quickening
of trade, not considering the labor
troubles iu the soft coal regioas.
"While this stale of sffalrs, in my
oplnio!i, will not last for any groil
perio I of lime, I do anticipate a slight
revival of business generally nfur this
month. Th" ooal trade any not bs as
active a dnca May 15, but it will bo
tetter than for 111 my montns previous,
"Ip regard to general Industry tbo
coal business is a good barometer.
When finanoe nre diiturhed uud geu

aud shows it. Just now this barometer
is lending toward the normal aud sig

"There may ba many Scranton bus
iness men who do not take as hopeful a
view of the situation as I do, yet I
firmly b- llev what I liav told you
and think ttllure events Will show that
I hsvo uiad-j a correct prognostica
