workmen met today, nearly 1000 being present.
They were addressed by their leaders and they
afterwards voted for the strike. The vote had
no sooner been taken, however, than the men
commenced to stream into the opened gates of
the works and the leaders called for another
vote. This was also shown to be very unani-
