 There was a general feeling of op- timism today throughout the city and among a large number of the work CTS there was an evidence of a new spirit. It was admitted that the pub lie and active participation of Mayor Wilson was for the purpose of bring ing into full effect conciliatory meas ures.
 Some of the best informed men of the city, both in labor circles and in the field of the employers, regarded the move calling in the city executive as an evidence that the rough house tactics and strong arms measure both on the part of the Graphophone offi- cials and on the part of the strikers would give way to reason and intelli- gent negotiations.
 Business Agent Lavit today said he welcomed the entrance of Mayor Will son into the efforts at strike settle ment and that if it was decided to- morrow that his presence to any ex- tent interfered with the influence the mayor might have then he would be very glad to withdraw.
 This statement was made after La wit had said that he would insist on original demands and called Wilson's introduction a political move. It was pointed out to him that if he was sincere in his interests to get strike settlement, then he should not regard possible political effects, whereupOn he declared himself as willing to would help.
 Prominent residents of the city to- day began to show a lively interest in the developments attending the work here of two Federal conciliators. They regarded the coming of the Washington adjusters as timely in that they are disinterested govern meth agents without power over either party to the controversy. and not concerned in the result. The Federal agents were Investigating the situation but a short time when they turned to Mayor Wilson as a conciliator and on him pinned their hopes of ending the strike. which has been poorly handled in some re- spects according to the judgment of citizens.
