TIRED TO DEATH.
STRIKERS' WANING FAITH. As day succeeds day, the reasonableminded among the strikers appear to be realising the case as it really is. A great many of the genuine waterside workers are known to have been against extreme action from the start, and these are inclined to speak with a little more freedom now that they see how matters are going. "I give you my word," said one of them yesterday, "there's a good many of us tired to death of it all, and would be glad to get back to work to-morrow.. The spouting men talk a lot about principle, but the only principles that I worry about are money and hours. After all, what is there in tho 'game P If our conditions about wages and hours are all riglit, there's nothing else to Worry about. Take my tip—there will be a good many join the now union before this strike is a. day or two older!"
