we do not believe the maA

crease in wages had President Bugg,
of the A, B. A. gone about it in
the right spirit, taking the men into

the condition Of the road compelled
everybody to take less for what he
did. But his attitude was resented,
and the men now insist on the whole
dispute being settled by the federal
wage board ,>as the Ia wprescribe3.
'We DO not believe there is any
disposition to reduce The wages Of

that the roads are justified in their
contention that the wages of unslill.

those of many skilled lines in other
industries, must come down to the

As an illustration: If lady is
in need Of a Gingham dress and in
a position to buy it she is doing
herself an injustice as well as many
others by going ahead and doing
without it because is she viii SO
ahead and make the purchases she
is in need of it will cause activity
with her local merchants, which
would brinM about orders from the
merchant to the manufactures, and
then tlc manufacturer would be

would give employment to the mill
