Study glasses relieve this strain,
and thus prevent squint.

of the company. Furthermore we
will never again tolerate the .condi-
tions that existed before the strike
The action of the union operators be-
fore the strike, In deliberately inter
fering with the business of the COM
pany and in abusing those who failed
to join their organization will never
occur again in the operating rooms
of the Western Union. There are IT'S
operators who were employed in this
city by this company prior to the
strike who will never again secure
work with the company. They were
all trouble makers
Edward ]. Nalley. vice president

"There is not the slightest ground
for the report that we are to arbitrate
with the strikers. Notify all offices
and assure all that there will be no
compromise. and to pay no heed to
reports to the contrary"
