Amalgamated Celebrates a New Victory.

The firm of Alfred Decker and Cohen have acceded to the demands of the strikers. This marks a great victory for the Amalgamated. The concern, yesterday approved all union demands and recognized shop committees representing the union. The achievement of the settlement was helped by the friendly aid of two foremen, Russell and Herman.

Today at 10 A. M. all the strikers will come to the Amalgamated Hall to receive information about the victory. The concern had formerly decided to recognize shop committees and shop elections but had refused to allow them to be responsible to the union. The strikers remained loyal to their principles.
