C. o. Pratt. the leader of the strik-

hopes for a satisfactory settlement of
the differences before the sympathetic

Declaring that 1t would be better

resolutions favoring arbitration,
Mayor Reyburn today reiterated his
opposition to submitting the differences
between the Rapid Transit company
and the strikers TO outside parties.
The mayor said. while he is rep

not necessarily follow instructions
given by councils, because that body
