CLARK THREATENS TO
 SUSPEND OPERATIONS
Serious Situation at Jerome Discussed At Mass Meeting and Steps Taken
 To End Boilermakers' Strike

of the walkOut broadcast with a view of keeping others from coming to Jerome to secure employment. It was also stated at the meeting that the boilermakers had represented that their action was backed by the na- tional boilermakers' organization and that no union man could be found to take their places. This view was not shared by other mechanics em- ployed at the works who deniel that the local trouble was either author ized or had the support of the na- tiOnal organization. One of the strik- ing boilermakers was present and represented their side of the case with the result that Mayor David Connor, A. A. MacPherson, Tim Shea, G. W. Hull and John W. Harrington were appointed as committee to confer with the boilermakers and have the strike declared off. At a late hour the joint committee was in communication with the office of the National Boilermakers' organization in Kansas City and one member of the committee stated that he believed an amicable agreement would be reached early in the morning.
 It developed at the meeting that ten boilermakers and their helpers quit refusing to return to work nine hours a day after being em- ployed eight hours a short time at special work and where the smoke from the smelter was disagreeable. Nine hours is a days work in the mechanical departments at the smelt-
