NEW RATE THEN TO BE 87 1-2 CENTS AN HOUR One Class Now Earns More Than This—Iron Workers and Plumbers’ Helpers Still Out. | The 3500 union building labor- ers, who went on strike May 1 for a flat wage sca.e of %0 cents an hour, will return to work to- morrow at their old wage until Aug. 1, when a scale of 81% cents an hour will become effective.

The 87%-cent scale will remain in effect until May 1. 1931 or Jan, 1, 1982, the exact time to be agreed upon at conferences before July 15. fronworkers Still on Strike. The termination ‘of the strike will relieve the situation in the lo- cal building program to a great extent, but not entirely, however, as 700 union ironworkers still are on strike for an increase of $2 a day. It is understood that the iron workers have been offéred a small increase over their former scale of $1.50 an hour, but so far there has been no acceptance of the offer. $2 a day demand would net be granted under any circumstances, and have advocated an open shop policy as a means of keeping jobs going St. Louis is the headquar- ters of the tronworkers’ interna- tional union and this fact has in- fluenced an early settlement of the strike, it was learned.
