50 CENTS A DAY.
MoIders at Work viii Contribute
to Support Of Those on Strike.

Chicago Aug. N-Every working iron
molder in the city will contribute so cents
day to support the men who are stin
on strike. This action was taken at a
mass meeting held last night.
Because the strike is independent of the
executive board of the national organ
ization no benefits are received from the
national headquarters and any assess
ment which might be levied by the local
men would not be binding, providing any
member wished To appear.
For this reason only the men who are
actually at work were allowed TO vote
on the question, but they were unan-
imous In their support OF the men on
strike.
The assessment will. II is thought, bring
about $500 a week into the strike fund.
