bssk to work on precisely the same terms as

menced. Several OF the strikers have been
killed by officers of the law, more wounded.
aud still mere fned and imprisoned; and'
wo,se than all, their wives and children
have suffered for the necessaries OF life, snd
many of them have besn evlcted and ex'
posed to inclement weather without shelter.
Most of them are foreigners who were
brought here to take the places OF men who
had previously struck. and whose e1pe1-
ence had bsen similRr to their own. They
didn't want to strike, but we're compelled to
do 40 by certain men who live In luxurious
sdleness upon thei. monthly assessments.
Their employers have undoubtedly lost
morey By TIE strike, bat what good has
that done the strikers? Bat, all the same,

this Unnecessary suh ,rirg will strike again
