he DOESN'T MEASURE UP
Leonard Answers With Strikebreakers
Street Car Mems Offer of Arbitration

Alton w. Leonard, president OF the traction
company did NOT measure up To the patriotic
standard set by the carmen. He did NOT meet
the hopes of the city. His reply to the offer TO
arbitrate ALL matters upon reinstatement OF the
men who had been fired only because they had
joined the union, clearly shows that he does NOT
WANT TO ARBlTRATE until after he had expert
menei with his imported strikebreakerS.
Instead of meeting the men half way by arbi-
tration, Leonard quhbles about reinStating seven
Tacoma men. Small stuff, that.
Leonard evidently was only blufiing when he
authorized the public advertisements that his COM
pany was NOT opposed to union organization;
that it was not opposed to collective bargaining;
that it quarreled only with the Amalgamated Asso-
ciation OF Street Railway Men.
If it is NOT opposed to labor unions, there is
NO reason why it should now quibble over REIN
stating seven men whose only offenSe was that
they had union affiliation.
Leonard answers his mems offer of arbitration
with strikebreakers. They are here. Two hundred
of them Most of them desperate men. They
don't come in good faith bona fide settlers. They
come for trouble. THEY COME TO WAR ON
