THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORD ER.
.MEXICAN STRIKERS GAIN 109'-
INCREASE AM) AN s-HOi R DAY
MEXICO CITY, May 29.—A strike of
textile workers in the federal district,
the state of Mexico and Vera Cruz has
been settled by arbitration in which
C. Loper de Lara, governor of the fed
eral district, played an important part.
The strikers were given increases in
wages ranging from 25 to 100 per cent.,
graduated according to the wages now
received. Workmen earning less than
75 centavos a day were given 100 per
cent, increase while those earning four
pesos or more, received 25 per cent. As
the former wages were based on a ten
jhour day, however, the actual increase
in pay under the present eight-hour
law will not attain those figures. Piece
workers in the textile trades secured
advances of from 40 to 100 per cent.
