Settlement of the Chicago garment workers' strike, which during the eight weeks' struggle has involved v,.0 workers and .lias cost the city nearly $3,000,000, was tonight believed to be near. If It is settled at this time It will be a drawn battle. '. The impression that peace Is Imminent grew out of today's developments. This afternoon a civlo committee on which both Strikers and employes were repre sented tentatively accepted a proposal from Hart Shaf finer A. Mane, .'the big gest of: the struck, firms., which later was considered by a committee of the labor unions, . This committee in turn referred the agreement to a committee of shop' foremen who are the advisory board of the strikers. '. While no definite statement of their attitude is as yet obtainable, the im pression is, general that they will ap prove the . plana'. The plan. If they do approve, -will then be laid before the strikers in mass meeting for final- ac ceptance - or rejection. . It ' Is believed that the vote will be for peace. Although only 16,000 of the striking garment workers . are employes of the Hart Schaffner,: & Mane firm, and al though the other concerns engaged have taken no active part In the peace ne gotiations It Is pretty Well understood that peace with the Hart firm will mean ah end to the warfare which has cost both employers and their workers dear. The salient feature, of the proposed settlement Is the abandonment by the strikers of their former firm stand for the "closed shop." On the part of the employers, too, : there . are... big conces sions, notably one that the principle of collective bargaining by the workers is to be established. As clearly as is yet known the terms of the Hart Schaffner & Marx firm are: ' t' . . Settlement by arbitration, the firm to select one .arbitrator, the striken one and the two to choose a third. ' No discrimination against strikers, but no' preference to be shown them over ... others. -.
