are paid. Al present there are about ~ 600
men employed, including those working
for the railroad. telephone and car com.

actually employed In the burned districts
olearing away debris. Many thousands
more will be employed when the large con-
tracing companies begin operations.

filed various clerical positions are show
ing their manhood in splendid shape. The
strikers are not in thisc class.
