CANTON MECHANICS
During the last few days, negotia- tions have been in progress between The Ganton, mechanics and theẾT – ployers condemning the former ** (mands for more pay and aborter hours. The employers believe that if all the demands of the me chanics are conceded, the cost of production for the different kinds of manufactured goods will have to be increased 94 per cent. Hence, in a letter to the Mahauls Union, the employers agree to increase the wages and reduce the working hours as follows:----
ן
Wages Labengers receiving 50 cents a day will have an increase of 20 per cent; those receiving more than 50 cents and less than $1 a day will have an increase of 15 per cent; and these receiving more than $1 a dzy will be granted a 10 per cent

The Commission has ordered General Hoeffer to stop fighting, otherwise the Allied troops will increase evacuate the German villages in the industrial region.}
