The difference between the two organisations have been getting mora, and more pronounced for several months, and all hopes of a peace able adjustment haec practically been abandoned, as far as a national agree- ment ia concerned, under which the two worked harmoniously for several years, - The break came with the- breaking- of the agreement by the employers, as ia asserted by the -union.
