London,
Oct.
29th —The
hope that
in-

veace
will
be
attained
in
this
ccuntry,
is strengthened
by the announce-
ment
yesterday
that the
engineering and
ship building
unions
had
agreed
by 170,
471
votes
to
147,646
to
the abolition of
the 24 per cent bonus
granted them during
the
war.
The reducticn
of wagas
will be
made
in
three
monthily
cuts,
beginning
November Ist.
This
bonus
was granted
by Mr. Winsten
Churchill,
wnhen
he
was
Minister of
Munitions and
was
attacked
vigorously as being one of the chief causes
of excessive
wage
costs.
1t was alleged
that it was
instituted
without any reali-
zation
of its applicatior,
or of
the great
burden
it
was
imposing
on
industry.
Grave fears
were (elt
as
to
a general
en-
gineering strike, resulting
from its
aboi-
ition.
''he
announcement
of
tha
result
of
the
ballot,
showing
22,825
majority
for
the
cut,
has
consequently
been
re-
ceived with
much gratification.
