procuring signatures to the petition urg-

tied by arbitration. No expression on
the subject could be obtained from repre-

In brief the company appears TO take
the men at their own word, and says:
Since they have declared they do not
believe settlement can be effected which
will be permanent as long as the present
officers control the affairs of the COM
pany, il is useless TO talk about settline,

whose efforts the strike was declared off
July ,. and TO whom certain statements
regarding an agreement by the company
to re!nstate all of its employees within

that he made such statements in an ad-
dress just prior to the strike being de-
