Stuart had all he could do to keep
from striking the man in the mouth as

Stuart's reply surprised all the other
men. The big man reddened and was
about to say something when one Of
the others spoke up:
THAT aside, Mr.. Duncan, we do not
see your reason for refusing to get new
men In and starting up again. Your re-
fusal gives the, strikers encourage

II believe they ought to have the

quietly.
