Corporation will Stand by Their
Guns Despite the Company's Big
Bluff.

Flight or starve!' is the slogan of
the 5000 striking workmen ut the Press
ed Steel Car Company S works ut Me
kees Rocks, Pennsylvania.
The strikers have issued Il statement of
their grievances. setting forth their pay
checks i'll cNtenso, and calling upon the
American people to investigate their
charges and see how they are being
treated. These checks show n strange
situation--in some instances the work
men are paid rs low as two cents an hour
for their work, the cheek being number
ed, say, SOIL, and the pay for forty-fvc
hours work being 90 cents. The aver
age pay seems to be about IL y cents an
hour, but there arc many instances where
it goes below 10 cents
referring to this system the strikers
statement says:
is it possible to live on such wages
IN "A decent manner and provide for Il
family?
Under the present conditions this is
impossible, and if any person can show
MS how man and family can exist on
such wages, we are willing to obey all
the rules of the company and rc,urn to
work.
The method of paying arc scandal
i"us, and everyone familiar with the
proceedings feels only contempt for the
men who direct the affairs of the com
pany.

our right.
We shall not make conccssions,- and
fear no threats Of the company We
promise that during this fight between
labor and capital we shall conduct our.
selves peacefully, and we beg all the
workingmcn and citizens to help us in
our victory.
DO not listen to false and lying re
ports.
Help the workers in this struggle,
for this is not fight only for our
selves, but also to save our wives and
