down swiftly, many points at time, be-
fore bringing out any bids. Violent re-

suited in a unanimous decision to stand
by the demands made and to place the
matter in the hands of Mr.. Pratt and the
local executive committee. they to have
full power to act and their action to be
upheld. There was not a dissenting vote
AT ellneT session.
This leaves everything in the hands of
the committee and Mr.. Pratt and another
attempt will probably be made to reach
an amicable agreement with the company

to reach an agreement with the COM
pany" said Mr.. Pratt after the close OF
the meeting. when asked what will be
done. but suppose we will have to try
again. We certainly do not want to declare
a strike If avoidable. and / really don't
think the company will make it necessary
believe when the directors see how
unanimously their men stood together to-
day. and when the pressure of prominent
business men who greatly desire to avoid
strike is brought to bear, we will bs
able to induce them to deal with U.S. The
matter is entirely up to the directors now
whether or not there shall be a strike"
