for Spraguc, republican, while there we o

OF two or three men not an Addison county

Says 1t Did Not Deceive Business Men
about Taking Back Strikers.
Montpelier. Sept. Elm reply to the re
port made last Saturday evening to the
Central Labor Union that tho management
of the Argus and Patriot Co, had deceived
the business men Of Montpelier by agree
ing to take back the striking printers be-
cause the business men supposed the prin-
ters were to share the wark in the job and
newspaper rooms alike with the hands
now there employed, the Argus says: THE
absolute falsity of this is beyond question.
1t was plainly and distinctly stated to the
business men who made the proposition
30 that there was no possibility OF a mis-
understanding that the strikers would be
placed at work in the job room and not
In the newspaper room; that they would
go In there on equal terms with the nands
now employed there and would be treated
with the same consideration"
