to treat with the representatives of
tho union i'm all matters which might
lead to II CONTROVERSY
The statement of Mr.. Wilcox bore
out the fact that In seeking public
sympathy In the present controversy
the men violated no portion of the
agreement. Mr.. Wilcox. in continu-
ing. said: 1T seems that the COM
pany does not want to observe this
spirit of fairness. which the public
is demanding and has always de-
mandcd. and on January i and Z
prepared the paper and presented II
tn their men,"
Mr.. wilcox stated that the meeting
in Norfolk Saturday night and yes
tcrday morning brought out the fact
that the men. regardless or any paper
signing which they had done. would
stand by the decision OF the confer
emcc board. after it's session with the
officials of the company.
The spokesman of the union con-
,nued his statement by saying:
Wnrr Arbitration nnnncd.
In view Of the fact that the news
paper editorials are calling attention
TO the possibility of avcrting
strike through the medium of arbi-
tration, we desire to call the at
tcn,iou Of the public TO the fact THAI
the contract existing between III.
men and their employers provides
that the question Of wages shall not
bc considered n matter for arbitra-
ton This clause in our ccntracs
was proposed by the officials Of the
Hallway and Power Company. and
seriously contested by members OF
the conference board representing
the employees. for the reason. aside
from our belief that the public in
,crcsts is hest conserved when re-
course TO this medium can be had.
our constitution and laws provide
that before the men shall even take
Il strike ballot. arbitration must be
tried and fail. This is not to say
that the men feel that the question
Of their wage being inadequate nov
10 meet the cost of living is subject
10 any debate"
Tho statement of Mr.. Wilcox was
completed with reference TO the open
conference. lie stated that the men
had nothing to conceal concerning
their activities or the management
OF the affairs of the organization. He
characterized the men as being ~
part Of the public and willing to
rest their case on the facts that any
