In a few days the bitter strug-
gle on the great lakes between
the seamen and the United States
Steel corporation will be renewed
with more determination than
ever.
The issue is clean cut. The
seamen are fighting for the right
to organize. The steel trust, I'M
der the guise of the open shop, is
making an effort to exterminate
all union labor.
One feature chat the so-called
meat boycott brought out, and
which was pretty generally over
looked in the shuttle, was that
the farmers in many of the states,
who apparently have few news
papers to defend their interests,
are highly incensed at the charge
that they are responsible for high
prices. They claim that with the
increased cost of farm machinery,
clothing and other things they
purchase they are no better off
than the workmen in the cities.
The truth of the matter is that
the meat boycott and charges
against the farmers originally
started in the so-called open OF
non-union shops.
