The request Is accompanied by an
ultimatum, In which the company Is

quest before Friday night at 70 o'clock.
1t does not follow, however, that the
men will go out on strike at that time

to move slowly and conservatIveiy, fol-

the laws Of their national union, which
require that every possible effort at set
