Vote Is Planned , Rasmu8en said that the grievance griev-ance of toe union would be placed to a vote of lay members of the union and that every means of , mediation and concilation would be exhausted before the workers would resort to what was termed "more drastic" measurers.

Rasmussen "said he foresaw no real trouble, . but that attempts be made to secure demands de-mands of the union. However, he said - that ' the conflict could lead to a strike of more than two-thirds ct the mine workers of the state.
