poration, representing the Whining

At the close of the conference sew
oral Of those who had participated in
il refused to state what was discuss
ed. Mayor Price was seen in his Of
fee Immediately after those who had
conferred with him left, and also re-
fused to state the purpose Of the con-
ference. 1T was an entirely private
matter. in which the public is in no
way concerned stated Mayor Price.
When questioned as to just what the
matter was under discussion, Mayor
Price replied that the men who had
just left his Office came there to talk
over certain private matters. and he
requested that he be not questioned
any further. Others approached de-
clined to say what the conference was

there has been strike for several
months
It is reported that the employers
complained that the pickets take up a
position about the plants and in some
instances have threatened men whom
the employers have secured to take the
place of strikers.
II is also reported that there was a
discussion at the conference as tC
whether or not an ordinance can b,
passed to prohibit pickcting by strikers
in front Of plants or business places II
this city, notwithstanding the fact thai

citing. It is contended by some person
that the city could pass an ordinanc,
regulating picketing and that IL woul,
be effective, as it would apply to some
thing entirely within the State anC

moving and did not resort to un-
lawful practices. II is understood
that the Employers Association is
