W0 days of picketing at the Terre Haute House, where virtually all employes had walked out, came to an end over the last week-end and the employes returned to their posts under a truce by which their former conditions of employment were maintained and subject to negotiations for an agreement which was to be completed, and placed in operation not later than today (Saturday). More than 100 hotel employes returned to their jobs Saturday at the Terre Haute House when the management and representatives of the strikers reached an agreement whereby the old terms of employment were to be continued for at least a week while they sought to adjust their differences. Prominent in the conference which resulted in the return of the employer was Robert E. Mythen, com missioner of conciliation of the United States de partment of labor, Washington, who had been in Terre Haute for several days observing the several strikes afflicting the city and seeking to bring about industrial peace. The agreement between the employes and the hotel management was signed by Mythen, and it was reported that his presence in the negotiations had been urged by both C. M. Ellis, Terre Haute House manager, and Virgil Hurst, spokesman for the employer as president of the Hotel Workers’ association. Quiet was reported on other Terre Haute “strike fronts,” but the serious possibility that Terre Haute would lose one of its old established and major in dustries loomed when fires were pulled at the Co lumbian Enameling and Stamping company and members of the sales and office forces were notified that they might look elsewhere for employment.
