alleged trolley strike. both in its success and
in its proportions Indeed. there Is good ground
for believing that the strike OF the boys has
been potent factor in the failure Of the strike

chiefly fostcred disorder and violence. by which
alone the strikers could hope to win. we're
practically kept out OF circulation. particularly
on the cars where they could do the most harm.
General MasterW ork boy Blind Diamond con-
