absolutely selfish, only for their individual Pc
cuniary interest," that they the detriment of the
workingmen, manufacturers and producers Of this
country and that therefore they disoyal and I'M
patriotic because they are simply for the benefit OF

perhaps 1t Is not so strange that jmporters-many
OF whom are foreign-bon and a goody number not

Sir: The references that have been made to the

Jim" Casey had procured the counting In"
