Cluded that TO strike then would be To
break our contracts and would be sure
TO rob us ol the sympathy Of the public.
After a long discussion, we concluded
10 start an association OF our own and 10
ask no more iaVors from the directors OF
the league, Some Of the best men in
the land are back Of the scheme, and the
