Previously when the A. F. of L. was leading these workers, the usual procedure was that the business agent set- tled the strike on a simple “verbal” agreement. Mr. Coffey, owner of the plant, attempted this time also to follow the same method, inviting Kiss to have a “private” conference with him, behind closed doors with- out the presence of the Settlement Committee.
