Means the Return to Work of One Hundred Thousand Men.
New York, June 2.—The settlement of the building trades strike which has been proposed means the return to work of 100,000 men.
The employers have gained what they have been contending for, as the truck drivers and the men who handle the materials in the yards are to return to work under the same conditions that existed before they were locked out. Both the material men and the United Board of Building Trades agree to waive recognition of the United Material Drivers' union. The men will go back as individuals and not as union or non-union men. By waiving recognition of the union the demands of the drivers, that none but union drivers be employed, will be ignored, and the men are to go to work as if their union never existed. The truck drivers, however, are to retain their union organization and will continue to be represented in the united board of building trades. But the board will not attempt to enforce the drivers' demands for recognition of their union.
These terms were agreed upon in an informal way at the conference and ratification is expected to-morrow.
