Once upon a time Bunch of Press

satisfied with Hours, Working Condi.

But no one could tell The Absent
Ones remained Absent right along, but
the Faithful Ones kept going right
Ahead They put up their money and
their time, and at last they Secured

Hour day with no decrease in Wages.
But 10 and behold, when the Better
Conditions were granted the men who
had contributed nothing profited as
much as the Bunch that Put Up the
Money.
why should we pay out our money
when we can get it for nothing?'
asked one of those who had "piked."
Bully for you,' said an Employer.
You just keep out of that Bunch and
we will take care of you
And thus it is that the Pikers are
profiting at the expense of Darned
Sight Better Men.
Moral: If you think it all right to
| be a Piker you are just the kind of a
fellow that makes First Glass One.
The Pressmen are up against the
Federal court. The court, at the in
stance of the Typothaete. has en-
joined the Pressmen's and Assistants

paying strike benefits, and can not

agreement has been signed by thirty

Christmas are excepted. This is a
reduction of half an hour on all days
excepting Saturdays and of about an

the result of visit to the city, and, a
conference with some Of the mer-
