And be convinced that the
best is not any too good for
the working man in Oklaho-
ma City. :::::::
Some proprietors who advanced the
silly argument on January first that
thev (lid not object to the wages nor
the hours, but didn't fancy the Idea of
the printers running their business,
have about decided that the profits
are greater when the printers "run
the business (?)" than when they are
worrying along with a bunch of "free
and Independents."
Only four thousand printers out of
a possible fifty thousand in the Unit
ed States, are now on the strike bene-
fit roll. Well, Isn't that going some,
in six months?

155, lineman installed a phone for the
