Other questions beside the disputed wage
scale will enter into the controversy. 1t is
said the largest operators in the East are
now willing to concede the scale of 69 cents
for which the men struck last year. This
would mean an advance of about 2s per
cent over present prices. While the men
have made no formal demand on the op-
