tered over the country either en-
gagged or looking for work. A re-.
ductioa of ten per cent. on former

sGmed by them. This was granted
by the Company who also promised
at the earliest practicable date to in
crease the wages.
We wonder if the men who have
been working for the Mccullough
Iron Company at North East and
loyalty voting the Republican TICKET
will all vote that way next fall. Has
the Mckinley law put any money in
your pockets, boysP For long
while the works we're shut down and
you were forced to seek employment
elsewhere or be idle, and now that
work is again resumed yop are assed
to come back, work for your old
masters at a reduction of 10 per
cent, on your former wages and of
course vote to sustain the law that
has helped you SO much. Are you
going to do itP

Democrat to the "boys." We are
not going to mix in this contention
as adviser but wonder" if voting
for the lat man would better their
cause.
