off have been taken, and many mem
bers Of the new association are
sangui6e enough to think that work
yyfil be resumed on Friday. Master
carpenters, End the association will be
boycotted but from What can be learned

not losing much: sleep over the prospect.

other secret session this afternoon, the
purpose OF which was to consider lin
detail propositions for settlement made
by the new association yesterday. The /
only points of difference were the en-
ployment of non-union meu ana appren-
ticeships. The latter. it Is said, will be |
modified so as to be satisfactory TO both |
parties. As yet it Is uncertain how the |
question of employing n-unionists will |
be decided. II is thought, however, |
that the matter will be settled by the |
contract RS agreeing TO induce all their !
employees TO jQin the union Immediately |
