Work In a Body,

Cincinnati. July l5-The machinists
strike practically ended today by the
return of more than 1000 workmen to
their various shops. The strike mana
gers announced their intention of con-
centrating their attack upon certain
plants while permitting the men to work
at other places for the purpose of OBJ
tanning funds. One of the plants desig-
mated to be fought against was that OF

500 Fay Egan employees formed in line
and marched in body to work, thus
destroying the strongest hope of the
strike leaders. The manufacturers feel
assured nothing can restrain the strik-
ers from returning to work.
