1T was the aueerist strike ever

tract Of tims-r land. There being
no boarding houses handy. II was
found necessary 20 feed the members
OF the gang.
TO do this II was. Of course. nee
ersary Go establish a boarding house.
and the railroad authorities had one
started up at once. placing Il in
charge Of a competent and expert
snced man. But there was trouble
right away All the men struck
inside Of week. aud the manager
FASTENED Ia ask II they were dissat-
isiisd with their wakss or their hours.
The answer was prompt and explicit,
The wages and hours were saiizfac-
tory. and 80 was their general treat
ment. their trouble was in the board
ing house. where they Eot pie only
once a day. They wanted mince
pie three tlmss--at breakfast. dinner
and supper and they proposed 20

piece Isn't enough. give 'em another.
Sweeten IL well, too. They want II
and well give Il TO them
This suited the hoa riding house
man down TO the ground. Sugar is
good deal cheaper than meat. and
mince pie is one Of the least eS-
pensive foods known 60 the cook.
After that there was no trouble
whatever with that rang Of men. -
