W. of A. have contributed over fifty dollars toward the P,-O. and Colorado striking miners, since April and I am not done with it yet, I also know of other ex-members here in New York, who have given ten, twenty and some over seventy- five dollars for the same cause, and so we have hundreds of them through- out the country. No one of us cares in what way that money is spent. It may be for food, clothes, hall-rent, conventions or even to form a new .organization, if they should find it being necessary.
