Gals have been coming to Washington
in recent days In connection with ques-
tons of settling the strike and he has
been In conference with them to see
what might be done towards persuad-

have taken kindly TO the idea and
something material may come OF the
matter. Mr.. Haywood said he had in
tended TO write to his people In the

had been prevented by the rush of his
work and the early departure OF the
mail.
