The company has also been placed in position where it can resume its operations and enjoy pleasant relationship with the employees and all others involved in its dealings. MT. Steinmuller in a statement following the termination of the conference asserted that the diffi- culty responsible for the length of the meeting principally concerned the adjustment of the scale of wages. He also asserted that the company in their negotiations maintained that the abolishment of the MIRA brought about severe competition in the industry and that price slashing was more than local issue, therefore the reduc- tion in wages was due mostly to an attempt to keep in step with other manufacturers of undergar- ments.
 Difficulties Settled When approached by the Demo- crat this morning, Philip Lipschitz, president of the firm said that he did not wish to issue formal statement on the outcome of the conference because all difficulties have been lsettled by mutual agree ment. Mrt Lipschitz said that he did not wish to become involved in any controversy because as a local manufacturer his position is one that requires the good will of the general population. He said that he would not divulge any of the personal terms of the confer- ence held yesterday because in do- ing so he would violate the agree ment.
