Ia New England was stock more va

Mr. Sanford's management the7 circle
of trade grew until, in some directions,
it's radius was six and seven miles. To
Illustrate by detail or two, in the
height of its activity, the grocery de-,
partment needed hogshead of mo-

TONERS; flour was, one year, bought by
the carload; tons of butter we're yearly
sent to Bridgeport market and even to
New Haven; eggs by the thousands Of
d, zen were barreled and sent out In
continuous flow; earthen, ware came
each year by the wagon-load from the
pottery at Norwalk: the contents of
crates OF the better ware, straight
from the packers in England, were
awaited by the danes who loved a
hastily furnished table. Where all
the hides, hickory nuts and buckle
berries came from was as great won

loads Of corn and "feed" disappeared
to. Why has not some one written up
the relation of the country store to
the economics of the early republic?
What chickering's and bargainings
there were in the 30 years of the de-

pleasantries, what arguments in re-

Is the Way the Presidents Square
Deal Policy Appears.
DEPENDS ON WHO IT AFFECTS
breaches Uprightness IN Speeches
But Condemns Another for
Doing Likewise.

Alexander Spencer writing from
Chicago, has the following COM
munication in the current issue of
the Typographical Journal:
Prof. Moore, chief of the weather
bureau, urged a member of the
typographical union to pay the
strike assessment. He did not do
so and was expelled from the union.
Then the chief transferred him to
New Orleans. Upon complaint
the affair was referred to the civil
service commission. That body
held it was improper for Professor
Moore to urge payment of the as
sessment. President Roosevelt
therefore directed that the chief be
reprimanded.
1t must have been assumed or
believed that a superior exercised
undue influence by so advising a
subordinate. Upon this ground
no other decision could be rendered.
But would the same conclusion be
reached if a church member were
simply requested to pay church
dues I Suppose the advice had
been not to pay strike assessments.
would the repriInand have fol
lowedf
Professor Moore can console him
self with the reflection that he
only asked an individual to act
like an honorable man. The sug-
gestion was that the delinquent
should give "a square deal" to his
fellow workers.
In his speeches the President
breaches uprighteess. In this case
he condemned another for giving
the same advice. Thus the effect
was to uphold dishonor and dis
honesty. Doesn't it look like
preaching one thing and practicing
another Ask the president.
Even members of the union in
government employ enjoy better
conditions and wages because of
labor organization. 1t is a pity
the individual who refuses to share
i'll the expense of such organization
can not be instantly cut off from
the benefits derived through it.
Isn't that "a square deal ~ Yet
to concede this would destroy all
argument for the socalled open
shop. 1t is time President Roose-
Welt found out that an open shop
never gives "a square deal" Has
he the moral courage to ackuowl-
edge he erred in favoring it!

Wage Workers Secure Better Con-
ditions and Wages
Is WATCHWORD OF A. F. OF l..
VIII Fight for Passage of Bill by
Senate in Behalf of the
Women Toi1ers.

a striking illustration of what
the American Federation of Labor
is doing for working women is
found in joint resolution which
it was instrumental in having in
troduced i'll the first session of the
present Congress. This resolution
requires the department of Labor
and Commerce to investigate and
report upon the Industrial edu-
cational, social, moral and physl-
cal conditions of all women and
child wage workers in the country.
1t passed the House during the
last session, and it is hoped it will
pass the Senate in the coming ses-
sion of the present Congress. The
American Federation of Labor in
tends to use every effort to aid the
passage of this resolution. The
club women of the country could
use their influence in this direction
with good results. Such an In
vestigation honestly and imparu-
allv conducted would do much to
correct many abuses. With such
knowledge available. public opinion
would compel the adoption of the
necessary legal and other safe
gaurds by the class of employers
who are now too careless of their
responsibilities.
The American Federation of
Labor by continually calling
public attention to the reforms
necessary in the condition of
working women has made this
proposed Congressional action al
most a matter f civic duty Five
years ago public opinion would
