cents signed the tentative agreement as the
best proposition they could get from the

would be submitted to the convention with
out recommendation.

noon. He had nothing TO say on the situa-
ton. nor would he venture q prediction as

gion look for ratification Of the agreement.
This expectation IL based on the fact that
most Of the delegates have been uninstruct-

fact that the men. having been idle moro
