mands for nine-hour day met Mon
day evening, but reached no agree
The manufacturers remain firm in
their refusal to grant the shorter
workday and all that is left now is
for the local union TO refer the mat
ter to the national body for orders.

a strike, or what action they will or
der is now a question. The local COM
mittee could reach no decision, the
national officers sent here to investi-
gate the situation could not help
toward an adjustment under the arti-
eles of the New York agreement and
nothing is noY left but that the To-
cal union report to the national union.
