Graham pointed out that the diff.
Guilty over which the lockout" start
ed is so small that there can be little
doubt that an arrangement could be
come to if the inner circle of the en-
ployers would permit the employers
to arbitrate.
The great majority of the employ
ers do wish to arbitrate, but they
must abide by the decision of the
inner circle. AS usual the inner circle
is misrepresenting the situation.
3. N. Craig, walking delegate of
the inner circle, was informed Of
Graham's demand today. He replied
that if the workers would appoint a
committee for arbitration the matter
would be taken up by the inner cir
Gle of the Building Construction EN-
plOyers at a meeting tomorrow after
noon.
This is sheer evasion. Craig knows
as well as the Building Trades Coun-
Gil that that body has a standing
committee on arbitration, which has
been willing to meet the employers
before and after the so-called lock-
out and is so willing to meet the
employers today.
Aid. William J. Healy of the Eigh-
teenth Ward will call upon the cOun-
Gil to demand an explanation of the
lockout" from the employers.
