T. would wel- come a atrike just how. He says it would help their pleas before the Legislature that labor in general is costlier, Another phase of the situation is the bearing such a strike would have on the unfinished contracts, of which it is no secret that the contractors would like to be relieved, These con- tracts were made before the treme dous increase in the cost of mate- rials and labor, and the bij firms de- clare they stand to lose millions of ‘When your feet feel like lumps of fead—all tired out—just try “Tix.” It’s grand—it's glorious.
