form you that this has nothing whatever to
do with the question, but even If
the question we're absolutely fixed as to
whether union or non-union mea were to
be employed it has nothing whatever to do
with your obligation to this subscription

have any one dictate what shall or what
shall not be done. The names of delinquents
are being handed over to the collecting at
