MEDIATION Board Resigns.

PROVIDENCE, March 24-While the
state board of mediation and conciliatiOn
no longer exists, the state board of labor,
which created the former body. rs ready
at any time to take up the textile dispute
in Rhode Island and seek for remedies :
according to Labor Commissioner George
H. Webb
Mr. Webb's intimatiou that the labor
board might take a hand in the situation
was made yesterday, following issuance
of a statement by the members of the
mediation board that they had resigned
and that the board had ceased to exist,
because the members believed that fur
ther efforts to settle the strike would DE
without advantage to the parties to the
strike or the public generally
The statement by the mediation board,
which was appointed eight weeks ago and
made four different attempts to find some
basis for an adjustment of the differences
between the 10000 striking operatives and
the manufacturers. said that 'all reason
able means" to settle the controversy had
been tried and found futile.
