there does not even seem to be much
speculation concerning the proposed
arbitration of the trouble. The trade
has maintained that them is nothing

The crucial period of the great
struggle of course is counted upon to

upon by the manufacturers of the As
soclation to 111-open their plants. The
trade declares positively that no union
man will go back under present condl
