mated IN such q way as to provide for
q satisfactory basis OF settlement. The
terms OF the proposed agreement have
not been made known. and as has been
the case since the arrival Of the COVER
nor. the exact nature OF the proceed
ings and the contents of the PROPOSE
lions and statements have been kept
secret, as 1t Is feared that any prema-
turely presented information might
have the effect of ending all further
negotiations.
Shop Meetings Today.
Further assurance that a definite
proposition has been made by the man
ayers OF the various button plants and
that these have been favorably re-
ceived by the button workers who have
been prominent in the conference Is
evidenced by the call which has been
issued for shop meetings which will be
held today. Just what the propositions
to be considered are, is only matter
of conjecture. At any rate the fact
that the meetings have been called can
only be interpreted as showing that the
two factions are closer together than
at any time since last week when the
Van Duyn proposition was voted upon.
and that the prospect Of a settlement
looms up brighter than ever before. 1t
is also recalled that any agreement
which may be entered into at this time
will be a stronger and more lasting one
than that previously arranged.
Governor Works Hard.
Governor Carroll has devoted more
time to the Muscatine strike than has
any of Iowas chief executives ever
given to a labor controversy In the
last twenty years on only one other
occasion did a governor of this state
intervene in q labor dispute and that
was when Governor Cummins was call
ed TO Dubuque at the time of the street
car strike. The present United States
senator remained there less than two
days. however, while Governor Carroll
has spent four days in Muscatine.
