within the scope Of our fight and We
are going 10 keep on fighting that con-
tract until Il Is changed TO natural
grade. such as New Orleans and Nv
erpool employ. uutil We have put an
end 10 the New York exchange.
There are some phases OF the New
Orleans exchange that We think may
be changed for the better. but the
New Orleans exchange has evidenced
every desire TO set us half way
Mr.. Jordan said that acting on an
invitation Of tire New Orleans 'X-
change there will probably be a con-
ference here soon u discuss New
