 Under these circumstances, while I ap- preciate your good offices, I do not see how anything material can be accom- plished by an. appointment with such committee as you say will likely be named. The reinstatement of the men who have left the service is now imprac- ticable. There are less than 30 per cent of vacancies. and 1t Is doubtful whether, in any event. after all that has trans pired, the company desires to increase the shop forces up to the point at which they stood prior to the strike.
 The shops were running very full at that time under a general understanding previously reached with the machinists and others, that as nearly as possible, regular employment would be given the year round, instead of varying the forces during the different months of the year.
 However, it is the, custom of the com pany to give a courteous attention to all questions presented, and if the commit tee when, and if apointed, desires to com mpunicate with any of the officials, I suggest, in order to avoid misunderstand- ings, that the communication shall be in writing.
