At the close of the lengthy session, which at time became somewhat heated, the situated was still deadlocked, and no agreement had been reached. The strike therefore continues, with no immediate sign of a break. Last night's meeting was arran- | ged through the mediation efforts of T.D. Thomas, MLA for Ontario Riding. The only hope for further nego- tiations rests in an offer made by the company management to meet with its employees again this even= ing. Last night, considerable bit- terness developed in the discussions because of the fact that the com- pany's legal representative, Samuel Garside, was present and took part. George Barlow, international repre- sentative of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Employees Union, made a strong attack on Mr. Garside, and charged that he was the stumbling-block to an agree- ment. This morning the company issued a statement offering to meet with the employees' committee without Mr. Garside present, pro- viding Mr. Barlow also was absent and the meeting was with employ- ees only., So far there has been no indication of the union's attitude on this offer. COMPANY SATEMENT The statement issued by the com- pany regarding the meeting was as follows: "Regarding the meeting held last evening in an attempt to settle our present dispute, first of all we wish to thank Mr. Thomas for his assis- tance in arranging the meeting. We. feel that a good deal of progress was made, and considerably more STRIKE DEADLOCK (Continued on Page 12) Rental Law Reformation Is Proposed Toronto (CP)-- A change in rent rules to enable landlords to evict unsatisfactory tenants from rented rooms in private homes was dis- cussed yesterday by the Ontario legislature committee on rents. Members felt home owners would be more willing to rent part of their dwellings to house - hungry fellow-citizens if the notice period were reduced from the present six months to three months. The change would apply to landlords who rent no more than one-third of the rooms in their homes. The committee also took up the question of penalties for violation of a proposed rule to enable land- lords to reposes lords to repossess their property lords to repossess their properties. The rule, discussed last week, would enable a person who owned a house to get possession for his own use on six months' notice, pro- vided that it be rented or sold to no one else within a year. It was the committee's feeling that a 10-pér-cent reduction in the maximum rental or 10 per cent of the sale price would be fitting pen- alties.
