May Extend to other Trades.

ed through the question of handling

them in his stead, explained that be
was WORKOUT and sick and must have
rest in order to carry on his work. 1t
is expected that he will be at the strike
headquarters as usual to-day, but his
friends are afraid that if the strike is
prolonged he will break down. Eve
since the strike began he has given his
personal attention to every detail Of
It and although he has had assistance
and the counsel of his associates, the
real responsibility has rested upon
him. He was unwell on Saturday and
in discussing his health said: 81 sim
ply must not get sick. I haven't time
to at this stage" He is a man of large
physique and ordinarily very strong,
but has lost in weight and color during
the last two trying months.
