one Biddcford alderman proposes a
department to provide for the suffering
strikers. In this way he suggests the
corporations would pay in taxes consid-
cradle toward the support of the strik
ers. OF course a city must take care
of its poor who cannot take care of
themselves but il is a very bad thing
for the persons aided to acquire the
idea that it is proper to receive aims
from the city until they are actually
obliged to have assistance. If they
think a good part of the relief is to
come from the corporations are they not
likely to call for a share in it without
stopping to think of the ultimate effect
on themselves?
