A Strike That Failed.

Labor strikes were frequent even
in the earliest recorded days. An
important strike occurred in Egypt
during the reign OF Cheops, sew

Christian era While the great
pyramid erected IN honor OF that
monarch was in course OF con-
struction It is stated that $4,000

with the food furnished to them,
which was insufficient IN quantity
and poor in quality. Argument
proving useless on the part OF the
contractors, soldiers were ordered
to drive the strikers back to work,
and many thousands OF them were
cut to pieces, while those who
could escape he5.. The others
