The charge is that Leib received $25 ¢ durine the strike. What are the facts? During the period of nine months of struggle, from April to December, Leib worked as one of the most devoted and energetic com- vades, not receiving a cent during that entire time although he worked far beyond any o% the officials who | were receiving money. Leib was most responsible for the | raisine of thousands of dollars for | the relief fund of the union.
