President Shaffer to Ande- on has given
new impetus to the organized labor move

organized labor there would surely recover
from the effect of the losing battle. One

meeting the establishing of co-opera-
tive stores. Three months ago a store of
this character was started in Elwood. and
from the first it has been declared an un-
qualified success. The announcement is
made that three more stores will be estab-
lshed in this district. One of the stores
will be located in Anderson and probably
one in Peru. President Shaffer favOrs the
proposed public mass meeting in Muncie

assemble there on that date in an open
meeting. To friends President Shaffer re-
peated his declaration TO retire at the close
