 let contract yesterday to F. j.
 Clarke for the erection of a high
 school building in Fairfield. This

to say of the anti-union shop:

nation of tramps. I,run hotel for
workingmen. and up to two or three
men who stopped with me were ho-
boes or tramps. Then an organiza-
ton of the maintenance-of-way men
was started and they had their wages
doubled Then they stopped coming
to the. hotel. Now they are coming
again. because the men who are run
ming the industries Of the country are
trying to make 1t a nation of tramps
