Eighteen
of

fought
the
campaign
on
a
public-ownership
platform
and
hopes
to
capitalize
on
a
split

Its
anti-Socialist
opponents.
A
new
'Teople's
Party"
was
formed
to
organize
the
non-Labor
element
but
it
ciieved
nothing
like
Labor's
solidarity.
As
in

many
sought

Travelling

the

dispute
to
accept
the

of

by
this

at

o'clock.
Judge
Sloan's

will

all

members
with
the

recommendations
emerging
from
today's
meeting

Thu3
the
men
can
approve
or
reject
the
executive's
decision
regarding
the
recommendations.
Un'.on
acceptance
or
rejection
appeared
to
hinge
on
the
proposal
for
voluntary
revocable
check-off.
Some
union
leaders
said
they
would
prefer
a
voluntary
Irrevocable
check-off
so
that
once
an
employee
asked
for
his
dues
to
be
checked
off
he
could
not
change
or
revoke
the
term
of
the
contract.
Meanwhile
a
survey
by
the

sug-guests
the
probability
that
the

will
accept
the
recommendations
of
Chief
Justice
Sloan
for
a
settlement
of
the
20-day-old
