the labor disturbance at the George C.
Moore plant by three disinterested citt-
zens of Westerly as the board of arbi-
tration. The proposition comes from
the strikers and will be submitted to
Mr. Moore. 1t is understood that Mr..
Moore declines to treat with his disaf-
fected former employees as an organiza-
ton to reach settlement. but is ready
to act with them individually. 1t is
also said that the strikers do not in
sist that the Moore plant be cIassed as
strictly union, the strikers being will
ing to give and take on that point The
matter of arbitration by that plan may
solve the difficulty.
