U. S.GOv'tTO Settle Dispute

The Independent Union and the Management were unable to arrive at a satisfactory SO. Iution on the dispute over the nine-hour day and the earlier starting time brought about through this increase in hours worked.
 Perceiving that the manage ment was stubbornly adhering to it's arbitrary uncompromising DO. sition on the subject and not at- tempting in good faith to arrive at a result which would be pleas. ing to the workers, the union end. ed all further discussions last Saturday afternoon and immedi- ately referred the matter by long distance telephone to the U. 5. Consolidation Service of the De- partment of Labor. The Union was assured that a conciliator would arrive in Groton at once.
 Early last week the Union at- tempted to get the management to allow the workers to vote on 8 two way ballot. First they should vote on whether or not they should work hour days six days a week or else should the workers put in hours day and work al. ternate Sundays. In addition to voting on this the union request ed that the men be allowed to vote On the starting hour. It was intended to allow each shift equal power in such double ballot de- spite the inequalities in number of votes.
 The Company refused to agree to allow any such vote or to joint- ly work out another satisfactory schedule, assuming the position that it would consider any propO- sition offered, but would not help arrive at one.
 To answer the argument of the Company that under the hour day the Company was getting 1O8 hours work in two weeks and un- der the alternate Sunday plan 1t would get only 104 hours, the Union asked the Company to al- low the men to vote on either a 9 hour day or an 8A hour day and alternate Sundays under which the first shift could start at 6,45 instead of 500 and the second shift could start the same time as at present.
 When the Management turned this down it was obvious that 1t showed scant consideration for the feelings of the workers on this point and the union ended all further negotiations until the U. s. Cancellation Service acts aS the third outside party in the case.
