full fashioned hosiery, have reached
a settlement with their striking full
fashioned knitters on Monday, Sept
ember IA, granting the demands of
the strikers with the exception Of

were contracted for certain length
of time. These men, however. are to

ingman's job when he tries to advance
or hold his trade by striking.
The full fashioned knitters of
Julius Kaiser company went on strike
the early part of July, because the
company wanted the men to run two
machines each, and the men realizing
that to run two machines would make
the ranks of the unemployed larger,
and that they would also be running
chances on running their eyes and
health. They were supported during
the strike by the United Textile Work.

turn to Clinton. Il 80 back to the fir

During the trial Person admitted
shooting Musser, but offered as a de-
fense that he had been lured into
danger by a telephone call from Mus
ser and shot in self-defense. =.
