A 121 per cent. cut in wages
brings out the mill operatives of
Fall River, Mass on a strike.
In the face of the present high pri-
ces Of food products how can the
mill owners have nerve enough to
make such a demand, or expect
their operatives to exist? Strikes
may be condemned by many, but
you cant TOOL people into working
with empty stomdchs. That's the
Rubicon where they will take a
rest every time.

SAUSAITTO INDIGNANT
TOWARD WATER COMPANY
Citizens Have a Grievance and Appeal
Is Made to Board OF
Trustees.

SAUSALITO, June 15.-The Bay
Land Water Company Of South Sausa-
Ito and the Board of Trustees are at
outs. AS a result most restrictive or
dinances will be passed by the board
unless the corporation discontinue GER
tain practices with their consumers.
The water committee, OF which Trus-
tee w. j. Martin is chairman, has
taken the matter up and the dispute
must be adjusted or legal entangle-
ments will result. The water COM
pany has been shutting off the supply
from various customers without any
notice being given. These consumers
were thus deprived Of any water for
drinking or cooking purposes.
The matter has assumed such alarm
ing proportions that a special meeting
was called. The water committee con-
vened, the full Board of Trustees
and a large number Of citizens being
present 1t was virtually an indigna-
ton meeting. Many Of the water con-
sumers who claimed to have been ILL
treated, were most vehement in their
denunciation of the corporation.
A petition, signed by eighteen heads
Of families, numbering in all seventy
seven consumers, was presented This
petition set forth the grievances They
were in substance: That the Bay Land
and Water Company had on June 5
shut the supply off from the petition
ers' homes for a period OF twenty-four
hours without giving any notice to
consumers Of its intention.
The petition called forth animated
discussion.
