WAGES DISPUTE SETTLED.
CLOSING DOWN OF WORKS PREVENTED. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION —COPYRIGHT. Received 9.30 a.m. to-day. BERLIN, Dec- 16. After a week of arbitration negotiation at Essen and Dusseldorf between the employers and workers, the big German iron firms have averted the closing: down of the works which the emp overs threatened in reply to the union’s demands for a wage increase and a diminution in working hours. The employers have now agreed to an increase in wages of about 2 per cent., while either a three-shift or a two-shift system will be introduced into certain mills.
