all are to be reformed by the few.
Workingmcn now have begun to think.
They are clumsy alb lut It, They have
begun TO act. They make terrible mis-
takes. but they will think and they viii
act. one statesman has thought that
the hordes OF the unwashed will over
come wealth. The workingmen have
begun TO realize that they are not get
ting their share of the products
work. What the workingman needs is
10 be treated like n brother man. It
may be n sentiment which causes this
discomfort. but is even more powerfSl
on that account" The speaker closed
with the thought that il was brother
hood that the workingman needed.

In one case, where the men have not
been ordered out by the union, there
has been a rumor printed TO the effect
that the reason the shop was running
was that the question was being arb-
trated. This rumor has obtained circu-
lation in relation 10 the New England
Butt Company, but il is denied. al
though what action may be taken In the
future in case OF difference is matter
for future consideration.

their employers. All the molders are
still out, and in consequence of their
being idle the makers and machin-
lists at some OF the foundry plants have
been laid off for the time being, as there
was not any work for them TO do. The
molders are drawing their allowance
from the union. 81 for the married men
