Employers and Men
In Fighting Mood

ready for a crucial struggle which
will spread to every industry in
England. Throughout the United
Kingdom the spirit of strife is
spreading and it has been expect
ed for some time that a struggle
which will test the strength of the
unions would be inaugurated.
The strikes in the WEIGH coal
fields which grew out of the re-
fusal of the union men to obey the
orders of the union leaders, is con-
sidered an indication of the gen.
eral trend.
Ready to Fight.
The employers, most of whom
are allied with the immensely
wealthy Employers Federation,
are prepared for a struggle. They
are in better position than ever
before to fight the unions. For
this reason it is believed a move
ment for a genera lstrike might be
met with lockout which would
bring the conflict to a sudden
crisis.

them. Mr.. Lancaster continues to

These two young men and their

determined to win the car. Remember
the firms who issue votes. and ask for
the votes when you are trading wit
them. The young men and their

A valuable prize will be given this

greatest gain.
Remember that Star subscriptions
count very fast, and pay up your sub

Following is the vote Thursday aft
