What It Leads To. Fellow students: Let us stop and consider what we have been doing in helping to defeat the workers in their struggle for better conditions. The labor movement has come to regard students as enemies and universitier as strikebreaking agencies. Is it right for us to interfere in these in- dustrial disputes? Is it fair for us to take the jobs of men who are strik- ing for a better living for themselves and their families? How would WE feel if we were on strike and students broke our strike?
