HOW TO DESTROY LABOR

And here In our own E. B. Yard the burner reaches his peak of knowledge, ana ability to perform miracles in the cutting of mans great discovery - STEEL! The beauty, the dexterlty

The grievance was up for discussion the next morning and rather than consider good labor relations and wait for the settlement of the griev- ance Milligan forced the issue. The smart thing MIR. MILLIGAN was to do in the first place, what you were finally forced to do, CALL IN THE MAINTENANCE MEN and LET things stay peaceful until the griev- ance was settled.
