union plants. many of whom did net wish to be-
come union men. Many Of the manufacturers who
went into the Combination owning non-unon plants
did not wish TO have their. factories run on a
union basis.
Mr.. Arms did say what the effect of

Mr.. Pennington said that he did not think
there was any chance that the relatives would
establish their title to the real estate by an
action in ejectment after the will had been
probated. He thought the words Of the will
were specific and broad enough to carry the

whether the heirs at law thought the wording
OF the will was weak in that respect although
he had heard the point raised.
