"If they're Rich'S Shoes
they're proper"
Ten-one f, Cor. 10th. En-
tire bldg.
Phone "one-Afty."

Why are they proper if
they're Rich's shoes? Thou
sands Of people who are pat
rons of this store know. It
Is only to those who do not
that we direct this explana-
ton.
Several years ago, realiz-
ing the enormous amount of
trade which went to New
York and Philadelphia for
its footwear, we established
tins business and made ar
rangpments with the same
makers who supplied the
leading New York shops by
which we were To control
their output in Washington.
in doing so we brought this
recognized proper" foot
wear to tins city. which had
never before been shown
here, and a. a result we've
steadily gained the patron
age which formerly went out
of town.
The great shoe store which
we now occupy Is the monu-
ment to our success. Nobody
thinks Of correct" footwear
but we are brought to mind.
You never see the ordinary
styles here-and you always
see the exclusive. distinctive
fashions; hence IF they're
Rich's shoes they're proper"
has become a truism recog-
nized by everybody.
4 word about novelties:
Our idea Of a shoe store Is
the store which shows every
thing IN footwear. hence YOU
see here not only street and
dress shoes, but you find nov
elites in ladies' evening and
reception slippers-novelties
in house and carriage boots
all the accepted styles IN
ladies' and gentIemen's rid
ing, golfng and shooting
boots and fencing footwear
the correct footwear out
fits for the Iivery-noiseless
shoes for nurses and house
maids-gymnasium and del
sarte footwear-men's sur
yeying boots. We show spe-
eial shoes for young ladies
and gentlemen at college
comfortable and stylish.
There are four selling
floors to this building, and
even with all this space It Is
no more than Is necessary
This Is indeed 4 unique
shoe store. and you appre-
ciate its unIqueness.

AGREEMENT BY CoNFEREEs.
Department of Commerce and Labor
Bill to BECOME LAW

WASHINGTON, Feb. THE bill creating
department of commerce and labor was
agreed upon by eonferees of both houses
to-day, and ii is said that in the form
agreed upon it will become a law. All fea-
lures of the bill have been published, in
Guiding Section g. the amendment relating
to corporations. The main point of differ
ence has been in relation to the Interstate
commerce Commission, and by the terms
of the bill this commission cannot be trans
ferred to the new department. The House
amendment authorizing the transfer Of
bureaus by the President provides that
the statistical bureau may be transferred
from every executive department, except
the Department of Agriculture, and the
intent in specifying from what departments
transfers may be made is to prevent the
transfer of either the Interstate commerce
Commission or the bureau of statistics in
the Agricultural Department. The new de-
partment will consist of the bureau of cor
porations, the bureau of labor, the light
house board, the lighthouse establishment,
the steamboat inspection service, the bu-
reau of navigation, the bureau of standards,
the coast and geodetic survey, the COM
missioner general of immigration, the COM
missionerS of immigration, the bureau Of
at large, the bureau of statistics of the
Treasury Department, the bureau of navi-
cation, the shipping commissioners, the bu-
reau of foreign commerce now in the De-
partment of State, the census bureau and
the fish commission.

END OF A LONG LOCKOUT
SETTLEMENT -EFFEcTED BY BREW
ERs AND THEIR EMPLOYEES.
Fight That Has Cost the Workers
Union Over $15O,OOO-Old Men to
BE Taken Back.

CINCINNATI, O., Feb. THE national
convention of United Brewery Workers,
which has been considering the troubles of
the brewers of Cincinnati, Covington and
Newport all week, to-day secured a final
settlement in long lockout which the
union workers say cost their organization
over $4,000 the past year. No figures on
the cost of the struggle are given out by
the brewers. The new peace agreement
was ratified by the Brewers Exchange. as
well as by the local unions and the national
organization. The unions were willing to
accept all the men now working in the
breweries and who have been working dur
ing the lockout, with the exception of
teamsters, carpenters, blacksmiths and
spective crafts unions and deserted them to
take the places of the locked out brewery
workers. The union agreed to give these
men a chance to get in good standing with
the unions of their respective crafts by
paying back dues, and it is understood the
final settlement was made, SO that this re-
Quirement would apply to only fifteen men
who worked during the lockout. AT the
same time all of the old employees who
participated in the lockout are reinstated.
The different unions will meet tomorrow
TO take back the men and the brewers will
give employment to 120 men who have not
heretofore been reinstated. The allotmentS
of the additional men were made TO the diff
ferent breweries tonight. With the settle
ment of this long and bitter controversy
the chief labor of the national convention
has been accomplished and the rest of the
business viii soon be settled.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1903-02-08

Official circles here evinced quiet confidence
that In spite OF alarming reports a settle
ment was IN sight. There have been
private expressions OF intense irritation at

TO interfere. with the determination voice1-

German government throughout had be-
