MCDOWELL to understand there had been
d misconception of his telegram to

Gould was the author:
"Mr. Powderly has evidently nlisun-
derstOod the meaning of the telegram
sent Sunday night to Mr.. Hoxie. Our
position is that this strike has been in a
condition for arbitration all the time.
We have had an agreement with the
Workmen for some time that all differ
ences were to have been submitted for
arbitration before any strike should be
resOrted to. Manager Hoxie has the
matter in hand. He has full con-
troll, and matters must be settled with
MIN. We are just where we were be
