9Sting meeting Sunday afternoon liz
Brook Bros hall, which was largely

poets are very favorable for a strike
saturday night, April 9TH. If this
occurs we understand that every man
who leaves his work will never have

is long as the present management is
IN force. While we are sorry to learn
that the local union has come to that
conclusion, the sooner the strike is
declared and disposed Of, the better
for all concerned. This may force the
paper mills on the Wisconsin river to
employ only non-uniOn help. What
can not De cured, must be endured. "
