explained.
Men quitting the AF'L ranks

The $500 balance is paid by the

IL the member is totally disabled
he may collect the $500 from the
international at the time of his
injury, forfeiting his right 10 the
payment of the sum TO his estate.
At the time OF his retirement
the member also may obtain a
cash settlement OF approximately
$3.50 for the 81 900 death benefit
from the local.
FUND SET FROM DUES
These funds are set up from the
So monthly dues paid by each

AT the same time, the strikers
voted at a meeting to Tighten our
belts and continue TO fight until

When the mediators and ALL
leaders met today, the atmosphere
of the meeting was entirely differ
ent from previous meetings. The
meeting was open TO the press.
At the beginning of the strike re-
porters were allowed in the meet
ings but yesterday were excluded.
TOO MUCH SECRECY
Samuel T. Gilbert. president of
the DSR commission. said:
Anything we discuss will be
public property. These meetings
are To he open 10 the press.
There has been too much

Gilbert then told the AFL

REJECTED BY ALL
The peace proposal was rejected
