Duluth Mimi, July S0-While the
officials OF the steel corporation will
continue the conciliatory attitude
which they have thus far maintained
toward the striking ore dock employo,
it is not believed that they viii hold
open to them an opportunity to return
to york more than twenty-four hours
There is unquestioned basis for ia,
statement that a reply has been draft.

Willingness to go to work upon the app

In dispute, which the men feel should
be adjusted after they return to work
but at the same time pointed out
wherein they considered that arbitra-
ton does not concern the main issue
between the men and the company.
The Associated Press is in a posi-

should the men then decline to work
the steel corporation Will proceed at

It seems to he the sentiment among
the business men aud others who have
kept in touch with the conditions on
the range that as soon as the docks
are in operation here the miners Will
all return To work In the mines. In
fact IL Is freely stated that except for
those who are under the sway of the
labor leaders of the Western Fedora
ton Of Miners there will be "a general
rush to return to work when 1t is an
nounced that the docks are in a shape
to handle all the ore that a be min
