LIFT OPERATORS’ STRIKE
COMPROMISE AGREEMENT EMPLOYEES RETURN TO WORK NEW YORK, March 15. The lift operators’ strike, which has been in progress in New York for a fortnight, ended to-day with a compromise agreement signed between the union and the landlords. The strikers, estimated to exceed 10,000, returned to work in 2500 buildings. This was effected without discrimination, and the question of wages and hours of work will be arbitrated by a special commission. The union was forced to drop the demand that all buildings operate under a closed shop agreement.
