RE BOOTMAKERS' STRIKE.
(To the Editor.)

Sir, —All these many weeks of strike are very weary. A fortnight or even a month is like a holiday, and as the strike is just as much, the business of every member of the Union as of those who are out on strike, each member should be ready to share the loss and inconvenience in a manly spirit. Say let those who have been working so far put men on in their place, and they take their places at picket, etc., so that the burden may be borne by the whole unionship. A supplement of ten per cent, should be selected from each branch so that the mem bers may take their turn on strike pay. Nine-tenths then in each place would be in work, and one-tenth by rotation out on strike pay. The Union master, for the sake of prinoiple, will surely put up with'a little inconvenience.—l am, etc., Faithful Till Death.
