good reason for doubling whether the

Of strike among the men. The disturbing
statements read by the public are pre-
pared BY leaders OF the unions, whose
viewpoint has been distorted by months

employees on the other hand. are in the
main sincerely interested in taking care
Of their jobs and homes, and few en-
ployes in an industry have more good
reasons for doing
