Show STRIKERS MAKE FINE SHOWING IN STREET PARADE After a meeting .lasting, more than an hour and a half; held In the Elec-. trical Workers' hall 'this morning, the' street car and barn men' paraded the principal streets of the city, headed by the street ear band. ' More than 400 men were in line, -, A number of banners were carried in the parade, some of which read as follows: fol-lows: "This issue is bread and butter. Nothing, more; nothing less." 4 ' Why did the company break its agreement with the honorable Mayor t We stand for that agreement." "We thank the public for its loyal support." , . , At the head of the barn men, who brought up the rear of the -parade, a handsome silk banner was carried bearing the words, "United we stand, divided we fall." . From Main and First South streets the parade moved north to South Temple Tem-ple and countermarched to Third South street, east to State, north to Second South, west to West Temple, north to First South and east to Main and First South streets. Both sides of the line of march were lined with people. Cheers were given as the parade passed along the streets. From .one end of the line to the other men and women stood close to the men, speaking quietly. "Stand together, boys," "We are willing to walk," "Don't go back on your cause,"-"We are with you," "'Don't get excited."; keep, cool." - Practically all of the women and most qf the men clerks of a South Main street millinery store were on the sidewalk side-walk as the parade passed. "You're all right and we are with you," shouted a dozen of the young women clerks. Every man in line removed his hat as he passed the girls and heard their repeated words or encouragement. One carman, who has been in the employ of the company more than fif-teen fif-teen years, said at the close of the parade: "I would rather have the quiet assurance assur-ance that has been given to me and the rest of the men by the people of Salt Lake City this morning than anything any-thing else that has come to me in my life.T' As soon as the men returned to their hall they were dismissed until 2 o'clock this afternoon, when they come together to-gether again to consider any matters that might come before the meeting. |
