work that the average man can do af-

One of the prominent contractors

been offered this if they would stick

Of others who We're getting $3.50 who
he did not think worth $1.25.
In employing his men he wished to
be his own judge of what they were

pay them accordingly. If the demands

that some of the men would have to

He was paying several of his men
