about thirty other union printers

pick and shovel over his shoulder, and
they showed that they he'd good clothes
to wear on the occasion. even if they
are the diggers nf dirt. One of the men
carried a big banner With this inscrip-
ton: Fifth ward sewer, miles long,

men in the parade, and they do not be-
long to the union because their union
