Strike Sufferers. One of tho most painful things in connection with tho strike is tho suffering, and worry that are already being experienced by people who are in no way taking pait m tho strike, but who" are yet its viotims owing to tho fact that there is no longer any work for them to do. It. is for this reason that numbers of men are being paid elf (temporarily certainly) bv business firms, but in the meantime they must livo, and for them, at the best of times, there is never anything over when all expenses are paid for tho week or the month, whichever it may bo. In tho relief organisations that are already being planned, these people are surely among the first to merit consideration. It is yet an early period in the strike's history, arid already thero aro pitiful stories to bo heard of tho self-sacrifices that aro being made by some of tho women. Much to bo pitied, . too, aro the men who have been forced to go out on strike against their better judgment, and there are many of. whom too who are bitterly realising what a heavy tyranny their unions caJi become. It is for these people, however, who are dismissed from work through no. fault of their own that a special plea ia made for help where necessary.
