weighed or permit the miners to employ

manner IN which they have been treated by

I'VE have sought to accomplish this end
by conclliatory methods, by submitting dis

fusal TO work upon the terms offered u.s.
commonly spoken of as strikes when all
other means of adjusting the grievances
complained of have failed. AS proof of our
