ooo short OF the Socialist predictions
and the clerlcalist press is beginning to
call the movement "a pitiablc fiasco"
Nevertheless. the strike has shown
greater strength than was expected by
impartial observers. and because Of the
1act that the numbers increased as the
day advanced, 1t is generally believed
the strikers Will be reinforced by sew
