PIERRE MARQUETTE
STRIKE EXPENSIVE
Costs Twice as Much to Fiqht
Uninos as It Would to Meet
Wage Demands. q v

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Nov. g.
Letters are being sent out by the
managers of the operating depart
ment of the Pierre Marquette rail-
road, which has been involved in a.
strike for number of months, to
cut expenses.
These letters, in seeking a reduc-
ton of expenses, show that since the
strike has been in progress it has cost
the railroad company over twice as
much to run the departments which
are affected by the strike.
In fact, settlement with w. strik-
ers and granting to them even more
than they have demanded would be
an extremely economical stroke of
business on the part Of the railroad.
The same old idea, however, seems
to prevail that it is of more concern
to appease the brutal authority OF
some operating manager than it Is
to enter into an agreement with a la
Dor organization.
