Mr. Gary's statement follows: "When informed by my secretary that a committee of a labor organization consisting of John Fitzpatrick, William Z. Foster and D. J. Davis, had re quested to see me, I sent word to them through my secretary that I did not care to have a personal interview, but if they had any statement to make and would reduce the same to a writ ten letter, it would be received and considered by our officials, who would then determine what, if any, answer to make. Nothing further has passed be tween us. "I think it is better for those gentle men and for me to leave no chance for misunderstanding in regard to what has been and shall be said. I have in tended no personal discourtesy." The refusal of Mr. Gary to see the committee was the first definite devel opment here in the controversy which may result in a strike of workers to enforce union recognition and better working conditions.
