record of arrest was not changed and
General Pickett has been officially I'M

Dock Men at Duluth Propose TO
Go TO Work Pending
Settlement.
COMPANY IS THINKING IT OVER
Nay Agree, But Known to Be Opposed
To the Plan.
Holds That the Men Have Violated
Their Agreement of Last Spring
Work Begins in the Mines
at Hibbing.

Duluth, July 3O.-At a meeting the
striking dock workers voted to present
a written agreement to the company
by which they offer to go back to work
at once and leave all differences to
ARBITRATION. The arbitration committee
to consist of two men from the com
pany, two from the union, and one to
be chosen by these four. This propo-
sition was sent to the company and
the officials thereof concluded to sleep
on it and reply probably some time to-
day. President Oicott and Thomas F.
Cole, who IS the representative here
Of the United States Steel Corporation.
were in conference on the matter.
Later a representative of the Associ-
ated Press saw and talked with them.
They both stated that they were not
prepared to give out any statement.
Company Will Not Arbitrate.
During the day it was learned from
sources almost official that the officials
were opposed to arbitration of the
main questions at issue - that of a
raise in pay and a recognition of the
union. The company is prepared to
resume business at the docks when it
gets ready. which will be in a few
days if the men do not return to work
of their own account. Work is going
on at the AlloueZ docks in Superior
and it won't take the company long
TO get into action here. according to
those in close touch with the officials
when they make up their minds that
they have given the men time enough
to reconsider their strike action.
Men Violated an Agreement.
The company officials say the men
violateda an agreement made last spring
and it is up to them to come back and
live up to it or others will take THEN
places. Still there is the possibility
that the company may grant the mel
arbitration. and in that case the docks
viii resume their wonted activity al
once. In that event the mines will
be reopened and then will come an
other test.
