I know all about the smelter business, but that's no sign I can sell electric belts or corn salve.

A week before the strike began, a committee from the union met with a committee of townsmen and representatives of the smelter interests.

Local papers began to make mention of an impending strike when no such word had as yet come to the smelter operators.

These smelter products were in gold retorts of such a size that they could be made away with as easily as though they had reached the mint and been coined.

Some of them voted to work; others voted loudly to throw in with the I.W.W., and among these were many foreignersSwedes, Hungarians, Germans, Poles, Italians; the usual and undesirable agglomeration to be found in a smelter town.
