orders to the Pacific. coast for

STRIKERS IN
WINNIPEG
Resent Abuse of Flag BY
Committee of 1000. Are
Always Prepared to De-
fend Law and Order.

The following article is a state
ment of the true situation of the
strike in Winnipeg:
At IL a. m. Saturday 10000 re-
turned soldiers followed the flag
down kennedy street to the parlia-
ment buildings, to get from Premier
Norris an answer to the demands
they had presented Friday.
The legislative chamber was
packed and thousands stood outside
in the drizZling rain awaiting the re-
suit.
Greatly Disappointed.
After the premier had expressed
himself, the spokesmen for the re-
turned soldiers expressed bitter dis
appointment at the attitude the gov
ernment had assumed. Instead of de-
manding that the sympathetic strike
be called off they said the premier
should call off the committee of
1000 Cd
Resent Abuse of Flag by 1000
Some commotion was created at
the outset by the fact that an indi-
vidual in the press gallery was wear
ing flag in his button hole. The
returted men thought this indicated
that he belonged to the committee OF
1000, and demanded the removal Of
that emblem. One man finally
jumped into the press gallery and
removed it, Comrade Bray later ex-
planned that the soldiers respected
the flag, and they did not intend to
see it prostituted by the committee
of 1000. He was informed that the
man who had worn the flag had son
who had been over there. The SOL
diers did not wish to hurt anyone'a
feelings, but they could not stand
for any abuse of the flag by the com
mittee of 900.
Will Defend Law and Order.
Comrade Moore explained that the
soldiers had fought for law and order
and were always prepared to defend
it. They wanted a settlement of this
strike and did not think the press
campaign of villification was helpful
to that end, Then came cries of
take the reporters out" and "give
them one NOR chance
Comrade Moore said they were
| there for an answer to their previous
demands for legislation compelling
! collective bargaining. Premier Bor-
den had said this was a provincial
matter so they wanted to know when

Comrade Moore then presented a
