his goods and store with consistent regu-

cal newspaper for advertising. is over

tori: IF the workers will not work,
root 'em with the bayopet" seems to
have been the plan adopted to handle
the strike situation in the twin cities.
A spirit of that sort Is bound to bring
about antagonism and the consequent
clash. ..
The editor spent several days in the
cities this week and had an opportunity
to interview many of those interested in
the settlement of the trouble.
The fact was recognized that the gov
ernor is doing all in his power to make
a fair adjustment Of the differences be-
tween the two parties, but too much in
f,'cnce seems to come from the club
