The stilkors are claiming that the tine situation ot nllairs has not been laid befoio the govci nor , and they desliotohave him undeistand thelrcrtov- nnces fully. At the conference to day they assci ted tliat tlm swltihmen's union has nothing whatever todo with the sti Ike , as it is not a union alfalr. Men who belong to no oiganhatlon nro striking wllh the ic-st , and the unionists have no objection \\oiklng alongside ol them. 'Jhe whole tumble , they say , Is based on tno objections of the men to working with the scabs who took the places of union men dining tlm big sti Ikes of ' 77 and ' 81. These B.abs they want icniovrd to some other de partment wheio they will notcomo in con tact with them , They do not demand the discharge of the scabs.
