Duty Not Rurdcnsome,

There seems to be popular belief that the term duty comprises all that we most dislike to do; that if 1t is a duty it must be unpleasant. But look at your duties kindly and they will turn kindly faces to you. Don't worry over them, don't be angry with them, and they will smile at you in return and you will be happy with them. But be careful not to make an idol of duty, for idolatry is wrong. Idols are wor- shiped, but not understood.

ers in an indirect manner that if the
strike was suspended on Wednesday
and the strikers returned to work, the
original conditions will be restored and
the strikers claims will be considered
favorably. After this was debated for
a while the resolution was laid on the
table until Wednesday to give an op.
portunity of ascertaining from the com
panies what assurances they had Civ.
en-. Then, if the matter is favorably
considered, the strike is to be sus
pended.
Get All But Wage Increase.
Russell said after the meeting that
indirect assurances had been given
that everything asked for except the
10 per cent advance in wages would
be conceded if the strike was called
off. He talked of influential outside
parties being at work on behalf of the
strikers
