Co. OF Pawtucket went out on strike yes
terday. They demand an increase OF pay
OF 10 per cent, which they claim will then

The wife OF n local trade unionist
made a strong stand this week for the
principles that her husband stands for.

coal TO be delivered into her cellar be-
cause the teamster could not show a
card or button Of the Coal Teamsters'
union. Another ton OF coal was or
dered, but from a firm that hires none
but members OF the union. This kind
OF a stand convinces the business men
