g C0mpfehensiFely,v said ethetreYerend
gentleman; g this. is d rebellion on the part
OF the railroad operatives against participa-
tionsins that shrinkage which the whole
countryis undergoing. The strikers, he
added, were guilty OF great Grimes Though
it might, spring from. ign ORANGE and have
had its inception in good; intentions, the
strike was great crime. Dir. Beecher held
that all who; SIC like himself,,H sydpathized
with theIppor lab boring man, should set their
faces against such trsachefy to the industries
and to the, rights, of the poor man as was
