II have already shown that much !
can be done with the newspapers We
must SIR up the mems feelings in
Bet htehem. A sensation was caused !
BY the articles which appeared al the /
time Of the strike At bridgeport. |
They brought Bethlehem into the ar |
fair.
1T is evident that the start OF
movement from which serious results |
are To lie expected requires sufH- |
cheney Of money al the very start. |

for the most part depends on the |
WORK effected For example, tho
newspapers must mol receive the whole |
sum intended for them all at once, |
bat only half. 70 anton agitators

opinion that for the special object

possible to reckon how much uiti- |
