NO ATTACK ON
WAGES In YEAR
So Says President GOmperS
in His Annual
Report

NORFOLK. Va. Nov. 14-Prlesldent
Gompers spoke of the general labor condi-
tions throughout the county and the pro-
gress Of the eight-hour day. in his adj
dress before the American Federation of
Labor, which is now in annual convention
here. President Gompers said in part:
During the last fiscal year we issued
from the Office of the American Fed
'eration Of Labor 373 charters as fol-
lows:
international unions. 3; State feder-
Iations, /; City central bodies ~: Local
trade unions, 2O4; Federal labor unions,
1913; total, 373
We have now affiliated to the Amer
lean Federation of Labor the following:
international unions, III; State feder-
'ations, 81; city central bodies, 574;
Local trade and Federal labor unions
661
The secretaries of 112 international
unians report that they have issued
from their respective organizations
charters to 2,94S newly organized
unions during the past year. There
has been an increase in the member
ship i'm the organizations comprising
our Federation of 1SS,373 during the
same period This leaves entirely out
Iof account the forty thousand mem
bers of the brewery workers, formerly
affiliated to our Federation
During the year l had conferences
with a number of the representatives
of organizations which are unafliated
to the American Federation of Labor
among them some of the railroad or
lganizations, the bricklayers and masons
and the Western Federation Of Miners
| II has been my aim to bring these
organizations into closer relationship
with the American Federation of Labor
No Wage Reductions.
mot in the history Of all our coun-
TRY has these been what has been
termed a shrinlage Of values so great
las within a few months past. The
lshrinkage occurred not upon actual,
tangible values, but upon inflated or
watered stocks which in the financial
vernacular are termed values" In
former periods when shrnkage of in
ilated values transpired, it, general IN
huence upon industry was almost i'm
lmediately to affect the real values Of
production, which in turn were forced
upon the toiers in the form Of reduc-
ltions Of wages. bringing in their wake
1T is due to the determined and
lclean-cut policy of labor Of our coun-
try that our princes of finance des-

attempt at wage reductions If all

determination to resist any and all re-

avoid the misery, poverty and calamity
.of the past, but we shall teach hnan-
ciers. employers and economists inn
general a new philosophy of life and

influences of which will live for all
time.
Raise Funds For Benefits.
Again, I feel It my duty to impress
upon all our unions the Importance Of
providing themselves with funds that

Fund, and is the fund to be further
devoted to suits at law against organ
lied labor so as to engage our organ
izations and our men in defensive lu
cation and to divert us from the i'm
minent and important work to which
we should devote our time and what
ever ability with which we may be
possessed? Surely, recent events ius-
tify an affirmative answer.
The Union Shop.
Despite the fiercest antagonism Of
the ignorant and sordid. it is gratifying
TO know that agreements Of unions with
employers have been extended. and
with them the necessary union sbon,
as the best and most effective means
to protect and advance the interests
Of labor as well as faithfully to carry
the agreements into effect.
The humane work inaugurated and
conducted by the labor movement 10

and commercial affairs of our country
mas borne good fruit and is destined
/ to bring still better results.
Progress of Label Work.
Officers of various organizations "a.
port that there has been more gen-
eral demand for union-labeled nro-
ducts this year than ever before. The
union label is at once a guarantee of
better conditions accorded to the pro-
ducers OF the article which IL covers
and better sanitary and more health
iful conditions under which II was nro-
duced IL is a means by which prac-
tical assistance may be rendered TO ot,r
fellow workers in the betterment Of
their factory and home lives. Effective
aid to our fellow toilers can be rem
dered by union worSmen and svnna-
thizers with our cause, insisting unon
the union label It's reward both 10
consumer and user is as great as to
the producer. No service which we can
render our fellows entails less effort
and expense and brings larger results
than the demand for the union label
upon every article purchased.
'The general movement for the re-
duction Of the hours Of daily labor;
that is. the establishment of the eight
hour workdav. has made considerable
progress within the past two decades
and this is largely due to the encour-
agement given by our Federation 10 the
crystallization OF the hopes and de-
mands of labor for the achievement OF
that result. The first convention OF
the Federation declared for the general
eight-hour workday In 1854 we de-
clared for concentrated effort OF all

POINTS FOR MERCHANTS.

1t remains for the man who tills
the soil to call the merchants to
account because they do not offer
the proper inducements to farmers to
patronize them. We have touched on
this same subject frequently, and we
are pleased to know that the senti-
ments of this newspaper are Endorsed
by resident of Iowa, who reads
the merchants proper lecture. This
man writes The Grundy Democrat that
'if the mail order house gets 81 900
out of this country each month that be-
longs to the home merchants the fault
is with the home merchants themsel-
yes. The mail order houses advertise
and give up prices on everything they
offer for sale. They tell us what they
have and what they want for it, Of
course we get soaked once in while
and if we do we can try some other
house. Most of the home merchants
who advertise at all don't quote pric-
es."
They neglect to tell us what we
want to know-prices. OF course We
can 90 to the store and ask the prices
of this article, and that, but you know
how it is-one doesn't know so well
what he wants to buy when he gets in
a store as when he is at home. And
here is where the mail order houses
make their hit. They send us their ad-
vertising matter into our homes and
we read it when we haven't anything
else to do and every member of the
family who reads their stuff usually
finds something that he or some other
member of the family wants and many
orders are made up and sent out at
lust such times.
Fright here is where the home mer-

WALKING is HEALTHFUL

One of the latest and most notice
able fads in New York is the walking
school. If you 90 up Fifth avenue,
along the border of Central Park, you
can see these young ladies rain or
shine, tramping for their health and
beauty. A tall, notwithstanding young
woman, graceful and light of foot,
usually is their leader. Behind her in
single file follow about twenty women
of all shapes and sizes.
Each walker carries a little handbag
slung across her arm or in her hand.
This contains a pair of low easy
shoes. "When we start on the return
trip" explained the leader of the
walkfest, leach walker is compelled
to change her shoes. Walkers, particu-
larly beginners, almost always make
the mistake of letting the feet get
overtired. If the feet blister or give
out walking is at an end for some
days at least, and during these days
all the good results will be counter
acted.
Ny walkers take two minutes rest
for every Is minutes of walking.
They are also required to take draughts
of cool water while walking. Other
rules can be summed up very simply:
Don't walk right after meal, and
don't walk when you feel tired. Walk
before meals and walk when you feel
lively Walking when one feels tired
and lifeless will never assist one"

chants falls down. If he talked up his
business in our homes the same as the
mail order houses do, the people
would be in to see him next time he
come to town, and in many cases extra
trips. would be made to get the things
lat once that we wanted until they
were brought to our attention.
''The home merchant can save the
expense of getting out catalogue.
We people read the home papers more
carefully than we do catalogue, and
if the merchant wants to talk business
with us let him put it in so that we
know that he means business. The
home merchant likely, nine times out
of ten, sells his goods as cheap as the
mail order houses and 1 believe on
many things they are much cheaper,
but how are we to know it if he does
not tell us about it.
" A merchant must not think that
even his best customers know this
so well that they can tell what he has
without being told. 1t is none of our
business, how the home merchant
runs his business, but [ don't like to
see these roasts in the papers all the

PARCELS PosT---PosTAL BANKS

The Free Press would advise mer-
chants and business men to give the
subject of parcels post most careful
study before they arrive at a hasty
conclusion as to what effect its inau-
guration will have on their business.
There are some features of the sys-
tenn that is proposed by Postmaster
General Meyer that may appeal to
merchants if once they thoroughly I'M
derstand them. The plan, as it APP
pears to us, will court an investiga-
ton.
One objection to the parcels post
on the part of the retail merchants
and smaller dealer-that the merchants
in the big cities would take advan-
tage of the new service and steal their
trade-is overcome by a simple plan.
Mr.. Meyer recommends that special
rate be made on all parcels original
ing and delivered on one rural route.
This rate, he suggests, should be five
cents for the first pound and two
cents for each additional pound up
to eleven pounds. This would give
the neighborhood center a proper ad-
vantage over the distant city.
Mr. Meyers other hobby-and it is
a meritorious one-is the postal saw
ings bank. The details of his plan
have been worked out carefully and it
is believed that Mr.. Meyer will come
nearer to tangible results than any of
his predecessors. In the case of pos
tai savings banks the postmaster gen
eral proposes to prevent competition
with established savings banks by
having incorporated in the law under
which the government goes into the
banking business clause under which
but two per cent interest will be paid
upon savings and limitation placed
upon the amount of deposits that will
be accepted under one name, probably
$500.

The Caledonian Curling club held its
annual election of officers Thursday
evening at a meeting held at J. r.
Shows office, and a good deal of other
important business was transacted
DIR. G.. HI. Nerbovig was elected presi-
dent, I. w. Hart vice president, and
Theodore Just secretary and treasurer
DR.. r. NJ. Todds and O. w. Schmidt
were appointed committee on mem
bership.
1t was the sense of the meeting that
curling be started earlier this year
than heretofore, and repairs will be
made on the building, and tar paper
put over the roof, SO as to prevent
melted snow from leaking through and
spelling the ice. 1t is hoped to start
playing early in December.
DR.. Dodds reported that the flowing
well at the building has been com
pleted and that there is nice flow of
water 1t will not be necessary to get
city water after this.
The annual dues were fixed at So,
which will give the club sufficient
funds.
An effort will be made to have the
schools, court house, Patterson Mercan-
tile company and others form Kinks
to enter contests during the winter.
A good deal of enthusiasm was de-
veloped, and the meeting was good
one.
