Program SparkIes

Many amusing hits were made in the
program. The grand march sentiment
was by Jim" D. Kennedy: I'VE have
nothing to arbitrate." This was fol-
lowed by Key and Mill" two-step
with the words ascribed to THE
Bunch: I'D rather be on the outside
looking in than on the inside looking
out"
The Bonus waltz" had clever hit
Won't You Came Into My Parlor Said
the Lyon to the Lamb" This is a good
natured pun on Superintendent Lamb
and one of the most popular men
among the ranks of the loyal men on
strike. Billy Fishers contribution was
I've been resting month. Give me
another" To the Oakland telegraphers
who are on their second strike this
summer: They walked right in and
turned around and walked right out
again.
I'VE are pretty husky and happy
lot of staryelings, are we not?" asked
one of the striking telegraphers last
night These are our starved wives.
We have but begun this battle. For
the first time in many years we have a
liberty we didn't know existed. This
ball is such a,success that we intend to
give several more of them. Our picnics
are Sthe most delightful affairs.
Seriously, we are not near starving
as the telegraph company officials
hoped to have us by this time. We
have more money in our treasury now
than we had last week.
Funds Increased
I'VE have about $500 more than we
had in the local treasury when the
strike began. The best part of all this
is we are not drawing on this fund.
About seventy-five of our men and
many of our women have found en-
ployment. They are getting as much
and in some instances more money than
they were drawing from the company
previous to the strike Those who are
at work are contributing literally. At
this rate we can stay out a year as
we'll as not
1--WE have no fear of the future. We
can't help but win. Not per cent of the
normal amount of business is being filed
and the payrols of the companies are
about as big or bigger than before the
strike began.
"As sample of what desperate straits
the company is in look at this"
The man showed a clipping from the
New York World of what purported to be
a special dispatch from Los Angeles to
the World. 1t was a statement to the
effect that the Los Angeles strikers had
capitulated and gone back to work The
special even used the name of Paddy"
ttydis WIN Was OHc VI Tic PiiihS HlONcIS
in the strike This gives 1t local flavor,
and the strikers declare 1t was cooked up
in the local telegraph office and wired
east.
I'VE have got that beaten block. We
send out daily bulletins of conditions here,
and we receive daily bulletins from every
city on strike In America. We also send
out bulletins by WIRE" said the striker
"Watch Us"
Keep your eye on the Los Angeles
bunch and you will see the best lot of |
stickers in the world"
The entertainment committee of the |
strikers are planning other events in the |
future and declare they don't care how
long 1t lasts. They say they have pledged |
to them the support of all the labor or
