jected to- but in the conference yesterday
they gave up this contention.
on the other hand the dealers COM
planned that I'm the past there has been
lacking OF responsibility and authority on
the part OF those representatives OF the
union with whom they have been called
upon TO deal. They asked for the appoint
ment OF regularly accredited business
agent OF the union, and expressed their
preference for Lawrence II. Grace. who
was acting I'm a similar capacity for the
Providence teamers The local union was
inclined 10 balk at this choice, but when
the dealers had agreed TO give way on
the halliday payment matter IL was quite
an easy thing TO settle the other question,
and Mr.. Grace will be named as the busi-
ness agent in the papers that will be
signed some time today by the dealers
and representatives OF the union.
