complaining that the management did
not live up to the ten-hour law. The
men demand a revision of the time ia

he finally went upon the platform the
hall was crowded to suffocation with
the strikers and those who were aiding
them. Rossiter was introduced by AL

Mr.. Rossiter. Win or lose, let us be
gentlemen" There were shouts, jeers,

stepped forward. He said the cars were
running almost on schedule time, and
was given the lie direct from all parts
