companies and Kisses for their national
president, Small.

rade was the most spectacular that the
union ever has held. The mention Of

anxious to take the platform. When
his presence became known he at
tempted to explain that Smalls mes
sage did not mean that they should call
the strike off, but was sent out to get
an expression of the temper Of the
strikers. His attempted apology for
Small angered the strikers and he was
Kissed down. Shouts of Throw him

In spite of the Kissing, Secretary
Russell shouted that the operators
would have to find work either with
the telegraph companies or somewhere
else, as there was no more money to
pay strike benefits with. Wen stick,
anyway" they yelled and Russell left
the platform hurriedly
