Gnye Makes Statement.
L. v. Guye, chairman of the Central
Labor union arbitration committee, made
this statement regarding the situation:
Til arbitration committee has made a
thorough investigation and finds that the
riots, as they have been termed, were not
iastigated or encouraged or approved by
tnerSteamsters or any other union whose
men are on strike. 1t found no evidence in
eliminating any strikers as the guilty par
ties, but found substantial evidence indi-
eating that most Of the trouble grew out
OF the zeal of ~sympsthizers with the
unions. 1t is seriously believed that In
some cases the evidence is sufficient to
warrant the theory that the employers In
nspired the violence to gain public sym
PATTY and secure evidences on which to
