Rixen dispute
Sir,—lt has been reported that other people from the union and other individuals who did not work at Rixen have been paid up to $lOO a week to help hold the premises against the employer. I am at present unemployed and if this dispute continues much longer will travel up to Rixen and take part myself. After all what right does an employer have to close his business, even if it is losing money, and put people out of work?—Yours, etc..
