Further extension is expected by the
Minority Movement which led the
strike.
At Blaenciydach Lodge yesterday

This shop is part of a chain that

an agreement with it for some time,
the usual sort that Hillman makes:

wages, right to fire, and all.
Just recently the TIillman outfit
made a new agreement that made
things much worse, cut wages Is

wiped out the last vestige of safety

Picketing Again Today
The John Reed Club, the organi-

when sentences were pro-

During the winter months, when

Despite the lessons of honesty"

This is the irony and logic of
capitalism. Bennett was arrested
