that the story regarding the gather

an absolute falsehood, and in my opin-

We have bandits in Mexico under
arms. and our government is trying
to wipe them out. In America you have
bandits also, out they parade in palm

A new characterization was given

then related how the Spanish in one
OF the last battles with the Moors of

The Spanish we're successful with
the ruse. for when the MoOrs saw the

and ceased fighting. But Villas ban

cleaners are now on strike. Women
are paid $1.35 for 10-hOur day; men

work seven days a week, with every
third Sunday OFF. More than half of
the women have from one to five

in daylight.
Both men and women are asking
for every other Sunday off and only
2 cents an hour increase. Pullman
Co. has filled their places with negro

strikers has been repeatedly told by
Pullman officials that their places
would be filled by others and that
the company has no further interest
in them. Many strikers have worked
faithfully for your company for a

In view OF your declaration as to
the right and necessity of workers to
organize and the fact that the wage
paid these workers is less than that
