I am concerned at situation which is reported in
"Times" on 4 January that while maintaining their
*
agreement to go to arbitration the employers have
refused request of workers to reopen negotiations.
Is there any possibility that this reported new request
indicates a more reasonable frame of mind?
If so
I am sure that the Labour Department will continue to
use their best efforts to bring the parties together again. Plusse telegraph reply #gently, I should
like to be kept in trich with ace developments in the situation.
