the 81. Louis Transit Company and the Strikers
Grievance Committee had come to an agree

strike. They did have authority, the men de-
clare, to come TO an agreement as to the ending
of the strike along the lines proposed by MI
Czompers president of the Federation Of Labor.
The committees authority extended that lar
and no further. they say.
