Industrial Dispute.

We are very sorry to hear that you have this additional anxiety and do not wish to add to your burdens at this present time. But it would be most helpful if we could have very early telegraphic report on specific labour background of this dispute leading up to the lock-out. What were the matters in dispute? Were there any negotiations? If so, how and on what points did they break down? Did the Labour Department offer its services or intervene in any way?
