MARINE-STRIKE tOIIBJB NO Increased Wage Granted to Seamen; 'Closed Shop' Demand Waived. XEW YORK, July SC. End of the strike of -10.000 marine workers, which has tied up shipping in Atlantic and (iulf ports for the last three weeks, was announced hero today by Gustavo I Brown, general secretary of the In-tcrnutional In-tcrnutional Seamen's union. The men, Secretary Brown stated, "would bo satisfied'' with the terms of settlement, which include an increase in-crease of $15 a month per man for all except the coal passers, who receive a JO per cent increase. Latest reports from local unions all over the country, he said, showed unanimity in favor of waiving the demands for an eight-hour day at sea and a "closed shop," in orler to end the strike. The rip-ht of the unions to have their J. 'legates passed through the piers and allowed to go aboard the vessels of the American Steamship association was conceded by the employers, who had, however, rejected as impracticable the JcmaLds for the eight-hour day and clored shop. This attitude of the employers was I sustained by the United States ship-j ship-j pine board in drawing up the terms of ! settlement.
