agreement will be on demands which

"As tho terms of settlement appear

cerned, any action of ours must ob

The union of Iocomotlvo Hnglnecrs'

Tho settlement between the Board of

Come to the top
with your milk troubles
WE HAVE been in the milk distribut
ing business in Philadelphia for; many
years. Starting in a very small way, we
have grown from a few wagons to many
wagons, because of conscientious service.
We purpose that the milk-buying public of this
city shall be satisfied absolutely with the
Supplee-Wlls'-J6nesgservipe."'' And this means
that you liae:tlie,bes possible milk and cream
at the lowest price consistent with market con
ditions ; that you have it on time every day and
without reasonable cause for complaint.
To aid us in this, wo want to know your milk
supply troubles. Bring them to us it is our
business to set them right.
had Intended to strike today, there vil
another union, the Electrical Power En
gineers' Association, which Is a sort of
aristocracy among electrical workers.
Its secretary said the members would
stand by their work and would Insure
a reasonable supply of electricity.
The Electrical Trades Union has ad
dressed a letter to the Newspaper Pub
Ushers' Association, Informing, that or
ganization that unless the newspapers
controlled by the members of the asso
ciation are more sympathetic toward
the strikers In published articles the
trade unionists employed In newspaper
offices will be called upon to -act as cen
sors and to deal with articles which
give offense to the strikers. I
Although a majority of the newspapers
are against the strikers the Westminster
Gasette, one of the most Influential
Journals here, aummarltes the men's
case, sajtnr "the government picked In
dustry to pieces for the war and must
put it together again for peace."
One newspaper here estimates that
fire million hours of work ara being
lost dally, apart from the losses of shop
keepers, theatres and railroads as a
result of tho strike. One result of the
Inability of thousands to, reach their
places of business has been such a con
gestion of telephone! business that the
managements of the companies have
been forced to 'appeal to the public to
limit Itself to strictly necessary calls.
The strike brought out several move-
ments for volunteers to carry on publlo
works and for societies to combine the
middle classes for their own protection.
