The Washington Post thinks tina
the great strike recently begun in tn,
West Involving 45, 900 workmen !,
the great meat packing establish
ments in Chicago, Omaha, Kunsa,

upon the prospects of President

holds that the strike directly affects
THESE thousands of laborers them
selves, and that in addition to that
the consequent advance in the price
OF meat affects thousands of families
throughout the Union, with the
prospect of sympathetic strikes in
other quarters. "

sometime In September or October
