Seventeen locals voted for an

the governor said he would ask
for some form of strike arbitra-
tion machinery from the state
Legislature. rf
AT first the union demanded a
straight 80 per cent increase in
wages. After the panel was set up
the demand was changed to a

company offered 10 cents and the
