These menll probably average, incllding the higher-wage men, $6 a day, making an aggregate wage loss of at least $200,000 daily. Condemning the strikers is foolish. There are always two sides to every wage dispute. The employers could avoid the strike by conceding or compromising just as easily as could tile workmen by sacrificing all their demnands. The wage loss, nllorlllous as it appears, is only a part of the loss lo society. If the bosses insist upon "no coimplromlise," their Ieprobable re course .will be to starve the strikers awhile and then try to reopen with noni-unionl workmeln. Thiis will mIlean picketing by the strikers, thuggery hired by the bosses and a carnival of anllalrchy and crime. What is the nll r(v'er? ITnless privately-owlled and lllanaged industry finllds an adequate answeri, we frankly believe tihe state will be compelled to find it, and it. would not sllrprise Ius if tile state's sollution would be pullblic ownershipl of tlhe shipsel and public ownershii an1d opleration of the yards in which they are built.

And there, thanks to mutual discontent at tlte softness-of - avowedly - hard-boiled sggs, (a common phenomenon in all hotels of all the countries of t;he world) the Drifter made the ac quaintance of an old German savant. The learned professor was in the Danish capital, studying some ob scure Icelandic manulscrlipt. He was very unhappy.

Why did the world:disltke the Teu ton tribe with such acrimonious vio leice?

The good old miian beaIil ed hack with tun derstanding pIleasure. "But that, my dear doctor," lie answered, "we know ourselves.. Indeed, we know it very well. We are not always kind to others.

C. M. BUNK GENE RATORS r- * * And obey the HAND-MADE laws Laid down by said couficil. This clique of WOULD-BE dic tators * ** Faced us with PUNK credentials Consequently said paper Scoffed at their FRAMED-UP notions For they LACKED the essentials That JUSTICE demanded. They were promptly remanded To the scrap heap where they BELONG. The BULLETIN was the prong That proded them from our midstl, We hope, forever and ever. This LITTLE (?) paper was very clever In it's battle for an existence Against these lickspittle PUPPETS And still shows ABILE resistence Against these COPPER BULLS Who will always condemn it. A wicked copper tide is trying To swamp the BULLETIN and * * a YOU should HELP to stem it And WILLINGLY come through With a dollar or TWO And help it to live. The PROOF of a good pudding Is said to be in the eating Therefore the BULLETIN must he On the side that's RIGHT Or people wouldn't be reading it And putting up a fight To have it become SOLVENT. Some day when it has WON ALL of YOUR desires for YOU (It has WON several already) You'll wish you'd bought a ton Of it's FRIENDSHIP, in stock, At a time when it NEEDED it. There's SOME of us who'd hocli Our toe nails to help it HELF YOU. We don't ask you to do as well But hope you'll SWELL The fund a little bit As it's ALL for YOUR benefit. The BULLETIN is NOT loved By the PLUNDERBUNDS who ROB YOU And only because it shoved JUSTICE to the front Is the one big reason. It's GREAT effort to shunt The BURDENS where they SHOULD be Makes it the GREATEST ENEMY Of local industrial THIEVES And the COMMON PEOPLE'S ONE BIGGEST AND BEST FRIEND; Therefore, we ask YOU to lend Us YOUR hearty support , And GAIN for YOURSELF What YOU KNOW YOU should have. This story is too serious for mirth But we'll reprint a line That is really worth The space it takes If you want SOMETHING Or SOMEBODY to GRIN about, To-wit: In the state of Mlontana There was a COUNCIL OF OFFENSE ONCE UPON A TIME. :Bugi.d Phoe J -To N.
