tne president that there is very

a statement Issued tonight bv Ben

"As there does not aeem to be

the Labor Board and none of its
members are now engaged In fur

statement said.
At the same time the statement
pointed out that virtual agreement!

heads and the strike leader on all
the five poln's In dispute except
that of the return to the striker

"Chairman Hooper of the Labor
