/ had nothing 10 DO with the strike, as 1
was entirely due TO the refusal Of the EN-
ployers TO confer with misrepresentation
| Of their employees aud arrange a compro
| mise.
| at has been given out by number o.
employers" said Mr.. Colwell, in eonclu
sion, dthat they desired to know what th,
men asked in regard to work and wages
| in order that they might have definite
basis for future contracts. And yet, at tht
/ very first opportunity offered TO arrive al
| such an understanding, the representa-
| tiyes of leading industry have refused
| to hold conference
| "Had we had an opportunity sale
/ another member of the committee, "tt
/ talk the matter over with tho employers
we would have made nm arrangement that
l would have proved not only satisfactory
| but permanent"
And here the interview ended.
