MILLS ARE Workers Reach Agreement With Manufacturers on New Wage Scale. 'By The Associated Prpss) TROY, March 30.—Several mills in Gohoes which have been closed for months because of disagreement be- tween garment workers and manufac- turers, are expected to resume some time this week. , Jt is understood that an agreement between the batt and shoddy manufac- turers association and the garment workers union will be signed tomor- row afternoon. The agreement calls tqr an increase of one cent an hour for \both men and women or 48 cents an. ho.ur for a 48-hour week. Time and ahalf will be given when the employ- es, are foi'ced to work overtime. Straight time wages will be paid for employes who desire extra work. One feature which may be left to ar- bitration if need be, is the clause al- lowing foremen to have the final word as to whether any individual under him will be discharged. The union members object to this on the ground that the leaders might be forbidden employment. ) suits will be attained during the pres ent week is predicted by those who are in a position to speak including the disposition of the Monroe doctrine and reparations, the two subjects which have been the mailn obstacles to the completion of the treaty. It is learned that there lias been re cently a revival of certain propositions and arguments which has tried the pa- tience of some of the participants in the deliberations but apparently new ideas have been exhausted and there are signs of the rapid approach of the end of the discussion. Therefore, it is expected that President Wilson whom some of the French newspapers as well as some other influential papers have held responsible in a measure for the delays, is about to exercise the power, which goes'with the responsib- ility to make an end to the delays. The most stubbornly contested sub- ject was that of reparations and it is' suggested that the delay Jn this case cannot be charged up to the Americ- ans but rather to the pre-election promises of Premier Lloyd George and Clemenceau to make the Germans pay ! the whole cost of the war which has led to some embarrassment because of Meets With the patent inability of the enemy to pay more than a fraction of the enor- mous indemnity that will be required for that purpose.
