HOW THEY FEEL
Those OF the strikers who expect TO
resume work az Murray are strongly IN
cllned 10 get To- work again at once.
I'VE can't make II stick" said one Of
he men who went ont yesterday after
noon 10 a News reporter There Is
such a lack OF organization among us
that failure Is certain. / believe just as
firmly as ever ia the Justice OF our
cslse. but we didn't start az the remedy
20 he right way. Many OF us living at
Murray receive only 81 40 or $50 q day,
sai have families TO keep, and II seems
20 me that such a condition ought 70
telmpHdble IN this country. However,
viii men Ike myself who are residents
here rs either return 20 our places or
b iis We cannot go wandering over
ihe country looking for new Jobs. Our
families would starye."
