accept any means of arbitration he
would suggest.

ters' District Council of Rock Island,

Dear Sirs:-It has come to our notice
that some of our craftsmen, formerly in
in your employ have been unjustly
dealt with and you have decided that
you can run your business without the
patronage of organized machinists.
As your product is purchased and used
mostly by machinists, who work under
good conditions, we take this means of
advising you until such time as your
firm can be classed with the fair firms
manufacturing the tools we use, we can
only patronize such firms as are fair.

Virtually every large business institu-

then they gather in groups to hold post

I'VE want to get these men back TO

Then, too, 1t takes away a great deal
