Griffith's offer and they rejected it.
the So returned to the picket line.
The outcome was in doubt. Grit

ganization, contract for the mills
entire output and sell it on COM
mission if the workers would take
the plant and work it. The So
were not certain whom they were
striking against. and the three en-

and Max Dalton-were willing and
ready to take charge and run the
plant on a cooperative basis.
"All you have to do is take the
mill and run it, and I'll buy your
goods Griffith proposed. He said
that was his only recourse, that he
could not possibly meet the work
ers' demands for 10 per cent wage
