important. lines of railroad in the United
States, except the Union Pacific and
Southwestern railroads. The Union
Pacific has restored the wages that pre-
vailed before the last reduction and the
men are going on with their work.
The public sympathy which WAS so
strongly with the strikers in the begin
ming was cooled Of in y marked degree
By the Communistic groupings out at
Pittsburgh and by the bad be-
havior at Baltimore, and 1t viii
remain cool urtil the strikers set their
faces like flint against al such dolngS.
They must not only disown lswless
acts, but they must have no fellowship
with lswless men. They cannot afford
to be the associates of thieves and tramps,
and AL kinds of vicious characters. They
cannot afford to allow such characters to
attach themselves to their movement for
relief. An immediate divorce from all
such must be proclaimed and known OF
all men. if the strikers hope to succeed
