The strike of union workmen engaged until two weeks ago on the alterations in the City Hall bids fair to be settled by Friday or Saturday. This is due to the efforts of Borough President Cantor, who has been urged upon by the United Board of Building Trades that ordered the strike, and Ryan and McFerran, the contractors in charge or the job, whose employment of several non union men, precipitated the strike, to act as arbitrator in the settlement of the dispute. It is said that all that the contractors are willing to concede Is the employment of union men and complying with the union rate of wages and hours of labor.

Mr. Cantor has hopes of effecting a satisfactory adjustment of the situation. Cinemaiosrapn. Cor onation Kins Edw'J ED EM Ifi USEE. When I gave my approval to the estab 1 Special to the Eagle.) Jamaica.
