tators and have overlooked the fact
that they have all to lose and nothing
to gain by following such men. And il
is being realized by the better element
among the miners that this so-called in
dustrial war is but the cruel hand OF
love for trouble that has led them
from their work. Other organizations
are looking into the strike and is
causes and they are learning things
which have caused them to adopt reso-

Certain of the secret orders have
taken the time and trouble to make in
