Peace

After 19 weeks the Manhattan Garment strike ended amicably, and last week "outsiders" found the blocks from 14th Street to 23rd Street between Fourth and Sixth Avenues a little less congested by arguing workers.

The International Ladies Garment Workers Union and the Industrial Council of Cloak, Suit & Skirt Manufacturers Inc. signed a 36-clause agreement which binds the employes to give full work for their pay and the employers to have no business relation with non-union shops.

Workers will get from $30 weekly for basting skirts to $55 for making coats, reefers or dresses. Buttonhole makers will get a cent and a half per hole.

Employes will get full pay for these holidays: Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day; half pay "for Election Day; nothing for Passover, Rosh Hashonah, Yom Kippur or Columbus Day.

Employers will give 2% of their payrolls, employes 1% of their wages to an unemployment fund.

Until June, 1928, the working week will consists of 42 hours, thereafter of 40, put in during the first five days of the week.

This strike has cost fully $30,000,000.
