EIGHTY UNIONS AGREE TO STRIKE IN NEW YORK CITY Tho Misunderstood South Though mucJt has been written of the South, it jeems to me that this part of our count ry is less understood than any other 'part. Certainly the South-, itself, feels that this is true. Its rela tionship to the North makes me think of nothing so much as that of a pretty, sensitive Avife to a big, strong, amiable if som.what thick-skinned husband. These two had one great quarrel which nearly resulted in divorce. He thought her "head-strong; she thought him over bear ing. The quarrel made her ill; she has been for some time recovering.

Of the eighty, unions in the city represented, it was said some al ready had voted in favor of a strike. The call, it was said, would be issued not only to organized workers in New York, but also to those in West Chester county, in which the city of Yonkers, "NTnw Rochelle and Mount Vernon are situated.
