"The central committee also takes this opportunity to strongly protest the Intended action of the railway association. An early reply to this letter will be appreciated by the central committee." A further communication was thereupon addressed to the employees' representatives on July 14, reading aa follows: "Referring to your letter of July 12, the operating committee of the association, having been Informed that your committee has been unable to agree with its wage sub committee re.

tee has willingly met with your committee to negotiate the proposals submitted, but having gone as fur as they consistently could in an effort to make an agreement possible and your committee having definitely declined to accept these proposals without having offered any alternative proopsltlon under which the changes In rates of pay could be made effective, even conditionally. It Is not apparent that a fur ther meeting would serve any useful purpose. "The operating committee Is unable to understand your committee's refusal to agree that the revisions on rates of pay should go Into effect conditionally on the terms proposed, which are so eminently fair and reasonable particularly in view of the conditions existing on other railways as referred to In your last communication, and also the fact that similar revisions In rates of pay are actunlly In effect and are being accepted by the employeen on those railways under Instructions Issued over the signatures of the officers of your organization." It will be observed that the last proposition of the railways would merely have the effect of withholding under the terms stated the payment of the differences In rates specified from the existing rates of pay pending negotiations when conditions would probably make it possible for the representatives of the railways and of the employees to reach an agreement which would be mutually satisfactory. This company Is In receipt of advice that the proposition submitted through the railway association of Canada on Its behalf has not been accepted by the representatives of the employees.

It is proposed that they shall be adopted, effective July )6 next, without prejudice, pending further consideration and subject to further negotiations on SO days' notice from either party to the other. This will afford an opportunity for fuller consideration of some details on which It might be advisable to await de velopments before coming to a more definite arrangement." Following a further conference, another communication was addressed to the employees' representatives on July 12. reading aa follows: "Referring to conference this morning between your committee and the association's wage sub committee, regarding proposed reduction of pay during which your committee proposed that the railway should allow existing rates to continue In effect for. say, three months, I am directed to advise you that our wage sub committee could not possibly agree to recommend the acceptance of any such proposltn.
