SIN Believing our side Of the subject
of the strike would interest the public oc-
casionallv. we would like 10 say as spring
time has come and the birds are warbllng
their melOdiOus lays. il makes us feel so
stupid 10 be out of harmony with nature.
and would like 10 say 10 the people we long
for the return of the good old times when
the custom of labor made habit and haOit
made things natural and consequently
abreast with the onward flow OF progress,
and with this in consideration we Will take
mn Il statement I'm one of the morning

Element arrived at i'm last Saturday con
ference. and i'm reply we desire 10 express
our thanks and admiration for their subse-
Quent consideration We feel that if little
more considcrateness cOningled with con-
science is exercised our bosses will have no
difficulty cOnscuting 10 our right 10 Organ-
zatiOn with its attending demands strictly
on moral principles. And when this con
sent I'm theory and practice is granted by
these gentlemen the remedy Will have
arrived and we viii again join
hands I'm mutual confidence. We have no

think all that is necessary Is 10 cultivate
the spirit that enables men 20 do unto oth-

which is our motto; and there is not
man among us that would not
be willing 90 accept tho same terms

sumed. as our Secretary, Ed Crosscurth,
received ON last evening letter from the
General Secretary stating that upon the
