and those who have worked with IL from
the beginning, radical change must be

ship brought back to her m0orings. II
has always been, aud Ia at tho present

and arbitration Ia the settlement OF dis

The law ot Knghthood demands at the
I hands nf our members an adherence 10

cd with the ruinOus policy OF the strike,
aud as tho only remedy for the Ills they
complained OF were drawn 10 us,
because we had proclaimed TO mankind
that we had discarded the strike until all
else had failed. The men and women
