TO END STRIKE
Move to Settle Lynn
Shoe Trouble
Conference Held and Another
Scheduled for Today

Lynn, Mass. July 5.-The first step was
taken today in a move to bring about
settlement of the dispute in the shoe man
ufacturing business here which has
thrown 1900 hands out of work by the
closing down of several factories
Representatives of the verious unions
involved met George W. Gage, secretary
of the Manufacturers Association. in City
hall and al the end of a conference which
lasted two hours it was stated another
meeting would be held tomorrow. No
other representative Of the manufacture
ers was present and what happened at the
meeting was not given out. but it was
understood that letter from the Manu-,
facturers' Association was read at the
gathering.
The meeting was brought about by the
city council, which urged all parties to
the dispute to get together and resume
work under former conditions pending a
readjustment by the state board Of con-
sliation and arbitration of matters in
controversy. The council recommended
the adoption of working agreement to
be effective during the period of the war
and for one year thereafter.
The shutdown Of many of the factories
took place two months ago upon the ex-
piration of agreements between the man
ufacturers and unions. The manufacture
ers claimed that a division OF authority
among the various heads IN the unions
in the United Shoe Workers
of America and the Allied Shoe Workers
was the cause of too much friction. The
workers insisted that the lockout was due
to the desire of the manufacturers to
avoid demand for a 10 per cent. increase
in pay and for certain changes in work
ing conditions.

Yesterday was the day for the home

units of the regiment as were not al

there was an unusual state of activ

First of all the entire camp was moved
forward to allow of more room for the
new comers. This proved to be an in
