Both employers and employed signified their willingness to arbitrate, but the subjects to be sub mitted to the board of arbitration were found to be radically differnt ' While primarily the question of wages was the only difference, by reason of non-union help having replaced tha strikers, the question of specific recog nition of the union now plays an equal part with the question of wages. At a meeting today, while tne strtK- ers' attorneys showed a willingness to concede many points, he Insisted that one of the concessions was to be made by the exporters, who should be forced to discharge their non-union help. Pend ing arbitration, all strikers are to re turn to work at the old scale until the matter is finally disposed of. This is practically a demand fr the recog nition of the union and closed ehop. Ex porters showed a" willingness) to par tially recede from their original de mand that only the scale of wages be submitted to arbitration, and were will ing to put to work all strikers they had roo mfor, but were emphatio in re-, fusing to discharge any of their present help. ; .
