o fair price for our labor. Those who
have not been informed Of thecauSes which
led to the strike, we ask to read aud con-
slider the following, and give US all the as
slstance in using that most effective wea-

OF prices in vogue for ton years
prior 10 last June, during which
time many OF the manufacturers
represented in the Western Nail AS.
ISOLATION made profit, In some cases as
high as 100 percent, but through their
dishonesty with ono another In cutting
prices they reached the point where cut
ting was impossible. To remedy this
they offered US this enormous reduction,
attaching conditions both insulting and
EepulBive To unionlsls and men OF princi-
pie. Since We went out on this strike

conditions attached, in the following mills,
