It looks like if all these dissatis fied groups Instead of striking would keep on working and lay their com plaints before the government, with the proviso that If It's settled in their favor they get the extra back pay. Labor has seen enough of .Roosevelt to know he is In sympathy with 'em and that In a government arbitration they will get a square deal. Help your company to start mak ing some money, and when they do Roosevelt will see that you get a lair part of It. If American labor would work while their case Is being arbi trated, Instead of striking, they would havo the gratitude of our president and the sympathy of everybody. Yours, to?
