The International Harvester works and Pullman car works opened their shops last week and nine thousand strikers rushed for their old jobs at reduced wages and longer hours. All that were admitted to the shops were compelled to leave their union labor credentials behind them. This makes a scarcity show of the prosperity and an overflowing dinner pail that was promised them four years ago. Will they stand "pat"?
