Button Charges Met
Quite a number of citizens became
indignant yesterday on learning that
the Buy and Boost Home Products.
buttons which have been distributed
by the chamber of commerce among
thousands of persons in Los Angeles
were not made in this city, but by the
Whitehead-Hogue company of Newark.
n. J. A great many persons openly
criticised the chamber for sending its
order for the buttons away from
home" However, Secretary Virgins
defends the men who had the award
ing of the contract for the buttons by
stating that a local firm did receive
the contract.
"Of course we do not know. officially,
where the buttons were manufactured,
said Mr.. Virgins. THE Los Angeles
Rubber Stamp company agreed to de-
liver the buttons in this city and they
did so. None of the local firms were
capable of filing the order in time,
except by making the delivery at some
eastern point. 1 think the whole trouble
is being started by the labor unions
because we thought it best not to put
a union label, or any other kind of
label, on the buttons"
Replying to a criticism of Manager
Dougherty of the button department
of the Hoegee company of the action
of the committee in copyrighting the
button design, Mr.. Virgins said
81 think that is no business of any
one except the members of the button
committee. The committee felt it was
necessary to protect itself so as to
have all orders come through it, thus
giving it a chance TO fill the full order
for 100000 buttons"
All Home Products
Regardless of where the buttons were
made it is a certainty that everything
else that has been before the eyes of
Los Angeles people for the last five
days has been made in Southern Cali
fornia The nine committees appoint
ed to make a success Of Prosperity

serve the praise of the citizens of Los
