From all directions, from the bosses and from the right wing, there was pressure brought to bear upon the firm not to sign the agreement with the local. Many bosses were wait- |ing for the failure of the loca! with this firm in order to follow suit and refuse io sign or to break relations with the local. The signing of the agreement with this firm is there- fore considered by all Boston work- | ers as a significant victory for the local and for the Provisional Na- tional Executive Committee that will on form a new International Union. At the present time the local is in stronger condition than. it ever before.
