becoming tired of being cooped up
at the camp" said a Mon leader to-
day, but they resent being asked |
to work and when told 10 perform /
some task, ask for their pay and |
quit. Machinery at the shops has |
been coated with grease to prevent /
It becoming rusty according to re-
ports we have received from strike |
