IS that arbitration Will end matters
early this week, Agent SNYDER SteDh-
ems, OF the Ludlow Manufacturing Asso-
ciates, saying that If the strikers would
return to the mills on the reduced rate
temporarily he would be willing 70 allow
board Of arbitration TO settle the dis
pute.
Inspector Burke was ordered to in
Eestigate the conditions, because of
statements alleging that the contract
labor clause Of the immigration laws
had been violated by representatives OF
the corporation inducing the Polish fam
lies to come 70 Ludlow to work IN the
mills. Burke's report has been for
warded to Washington.
