The civic committee met on Satur- day and addressed a communication to both parties to meet and discuss the matter, When interviewed, the president of the Metal Trades Federation stat- ed that the committee's letter had planation is that it was addressed to the seerteary of the Trades and Labor Couneil and will probably reach them through the secretary. . The men state that they ere quite ready to negotiate a settlement of the strike and their representatives are appointed for that purpose, From what can be learned in a general way it is evident that the position of the company is un- changed; that any concession in re- spect to hours of work and wages will be determined in some measure by the action of similar large com~ panies whose competition must be on the markets.
