and that in two weeks. at the most.
the mines would be operating with ~
per cent of the normal crews.
Taylor urged that the strikers re-
turn TO work pending consideration
of their demans by the commission,
which makes awards in industrial dis
putes after hearing the cases OF the
employees and the employer.
