Shour day by April 1st, 1920. They
further went on record to refuse to
work longer than the hours after
that date with an ultimatum to the
employers of a cessation of work
should their demands be refused.
1t seems almost Unbelievable that
men in this enlightened day are
compelled to make demands for a
decent wage and living conditions,
when these men have hardly recov-
cred from the shock of the battle
field where they were waging a
war for democracy Stranger
still is the noticeable fact that
Captains of Industry" such as the
steel and timber industries are re-
fusing to deal with the men col
lectively, and are getting away with
it. That Is, they have met with no
opposition from our government as
yet. The opposition is all coming
from the organized men, who in
most cases are compelled to resort
to their last weapon-the strike
much to the detriment of all con-
cerned, but which is so necessary
for the employees who have that de-
sire to maintain the standard of
American living craved by all in
telligent workingmen.

manufacturers to refund the money to
