The locked out glassworkers Of Martins
Ferry have skating parties for their benefit,
but tell me who has parties for the benefit OF
us poor devils? They say hat they are
locked out, but that is a mistake; they have
locked themselves out and US too, for where
does our protection come in2 They do not
think of US, but if l had a Job of work al
one dollar a day, they would be the first to
step in and take my situation. Tell we why
it is that the best workmen, or as good as
we have in this place, have gone to
Pittsburg to work IN the same
terms the manufacturers want them to work
here. No; they would rather go up to
Pittsburgh and take ONE poor gathering
boys job, which they have done. They do
not think that while they are drawing their
six dollars a week that us poor devils are
not getting one cent, and all on their &C.
count. Now if they can 60 to Pittsburgh
and work that way there, why can't they
work here. WORKMAN.
