Officials of the teamsters' union whose

Sunday midnight. made q concerted effort
today to get employers to sign tentative
agreement. The contract is binding only
ten days and the only demands are that
the employers nay the union scale and not

said employees of team owners who sign
the agreement probably would be permit

Fewer persons were on the streets today
