I wanted to get him to join our sales department but he declined my offer!" When the matter of the Elwood strike was referred to the next regular meeting I had been working only three weeks.

I wrote to my father in Sharon asking for his counsel on the subject.

He wrote back: "In as much as it isn't a question of wages or rules, I'd vote to stay on the job and wait for my pay.

There's no pay out here to be had even by waiting.
The mill is down, and if we hadn't raised a big potato crop we wouldn't know where to look for our next meal.".
