wooLWoRTH Store
STILL I'm BAD"


The f. w. Woolworth and u cent
store still has only non-union clerks
IN their employee. and in fact is using
every effort to break IL work Of the
organizations in placing their store on
the I'VE don't patrslize" list by tell
ing the people that the affair is set
tied. The strike IS still on and the
organization is doing everything pos
sible to keep the public SO informed.
Each week circulars are issued,
which state facts regarding the af-
fair, which win be continued till near.
the holidays. when pickets will again
be placed in front OF the store to warn
all who might not know that the strike

even one statement was not the ruth:
While the world owes no one 4
living that does no. work for the
same, every one that works six days
each week (and from SO to 20 hours a
week at that1 is titled to living
wage. While it may be true that
some work for q while for less than
a living wage, it IS the custom of
many merchants to continue women
and girls on practically the same wage
even after years Of experience. The
Retail Clerks union IN many cities
nave established minimum wage
scale for retail clerks. which is much
in advance of the present prevailing
wages paid clerks IN this city. and in
no instance can anyone prove that
any other organization has even at
tempted to do SO.
Should the store IN which you are
trading not have the nuion store card
of the Retail Clerks, there is a reason
and it is the duty Of every union man
and his family to know why. Should
the merchant refuse to display the
store card, you may know at once that
he is. not friendly 70 organized labor,
your organization, and your duty is
clear.
With membership of over 100 at
this time. with the assistance OF the
purchasing power of the trade union
lists of this city. the Retail Clerks will
in the not distant future number five
times as many.
The salvation of this organization
depends entirely upon you.

Toronto Bankers Come
Out. Against Reciprocity

TORONTO, Ont, Feb. 20.-Nine-
teen OF Toronto's leading bankers
and merchants, and until now sup
porters OF Premier Laurier, today, is
sued a protest against the ratifica-
ton OF the reciprocity agreement.
After emphasizing the expenditure
of hundreds OF millions Of dollars TO
develop trade between east and west
and the prosperity that has resulted,
the protest says:
After some years OF reciprocity
under the proposed agreement the
channels of Canada's trade would be-
come so changed that u termination
OF the agreement and a return by the
United States to a protective tarih
az against Canada. would cause q
disturbance OF trade TO an unparall-
eled extent.
ITO avoid such a disruption Can
ada would be forced TO extend the
scope of the agreement so as TO in
clude manufactures and other things.
The agreement as proposed would
weaken the ties which bind Canada
to the empire, because the unrestrict-
ed reciprocity which would natural
ly follow would still further weaken
those ties and make 1t more difficult
to avert political union with the
United States.

TAFT WILL GALL
EXTRA SESSION
Serves Notice On Senate lat He
Will Issue Order Unless Reci-
procity Bill Is Passed.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2o,--President
Taft has notified congress OF his IN
tention TO call an extra session II the
senate fails to pass the Canadian recr
procity agreement. The presidents
determination is disclosed In formal
abatement given out by Rep. Samuel
W Mccall. OF Massachusetts,. after NO
visited the White House last night
According TO Mr.. McCalis an
nouncement, the president feels that
he is under an international ooiiga'
ton to summon an extra session
il it- be necessary, to secure action
ON the reciprocity agreement Ihat
session would BE called Immediately
following the adjournment OF con-
gress at noon March 4.
While IL Is the evident purpose
of the president, In permitting tne
announcement by Mr., mccall, 10
avoid an extra session by inducing
senators TO act on the agreement. II
Il the opinion OF many that In all
proba bility the statement has come
too late. Few senators are san
guine enough TO predict that action
will be taken on the agreement In
he upper branch OF the congress
at this session, while some insist
that there will be vote.
Opponents OF the reciprocity agree
ment in the senate are viewing
with complacency, not TO say sat
isfaction, the congested conditions
existing in that body. The de-
mands OF the public business are
such that vote on reciprocity can
be avoided easily without the APP
pearance OF q filibuster.
pledge not To filibuster against
the reciprocity bill was given At the
White House today by Senator Bailey.
(Dem. Tex, Bailey said:
Though believe the reciprocity
agreement with Canada is bad policy,
shall not filibuster against II when
IL comes before the senate.

Veterans Of U. 5. Senate
Will Retire March 4

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-At noon
on March 4, the most remarkable
change in history will take place in
the senate. the greatest deliberatige
body In the world" The change will
come Just tho same whether President
Taft Gals an extra session or not, for
the sixty-first congress dies by Jaw
a. that time.
Hale, tRep., Maine), senior in point
Of membership, having served since
March 4, 1881, remains In the fighting
ranks to the last. His final ambition
was TO prevent the adoption OF reel
procity during his term in the senate.
Aldrich, third in rank. whose SER
vice dates back to Oct. 5, 1881. passed
from the scene two months ago. As
parting contribution to legislative
proposals, he left his central bank
plan and he hied to Florida. His
health, II was explained, demanded
the change in climate. Burrows. VI
Michigan, 10 years senator; Kean,
OF New Jersey: Scott. OF West Viz.
ginia, and Depew, of New York, each
with 12 years services and OF com
rlandign influence under the Oldrich
reign, retire to private life. Bever-
idge, OF Indiana, the brilliant progress
sive, will pass, at least temporarily,
sitter IL years in the senate.
Nineteen in all, three Democrats,
will lay aside their toys. The Repub-
Iicans include, besides those men-
toned: Buckley. Conn; Burkett,
Neb.; Carter. Mont; Dick. Ohio,
lint, Cal; Piles, Wash; Warner,
Missouri, and LoungA Iowa.
The retiring DEMOCRATS are Money,
OF Mississippi: Taliaferro. Florida,
AID Frazier, Tennessee, While the
latter two were mentioned In connec-
ton with new terms, none OF them
made serious efforts for reelection.
With the old leaders gone, the SEN
ate will require a complete reorgan-
ization. The progressives will step
forward and the whole aspect of the
body will be changed. The Repubii-
can majority will be eight or nine. and
nearly every big proposition VIII
cause an open fight.

LAW STUDENTS
NEEDN'T WORRY
Lee Bill, Providing fer State Bar
Exam, Will Not kfect Those
Already Registered.

Students. graduated by the Detroit
College or Law, may laugh at the
proposal that. they take the state bar
examination" said Jasper {. Gates.
one OF the most prominent members
of the faculty, Monday, commenting
on the bill, introduced by Senator
James II. Lee, requiring all candi-
dates for admission to the bar to
take the examination, whether gradu-
ates OF law school or not. The bill
affects both the Detroit College Of
Law and the University OF Michi-
gan.
Much alarm has been caused among
the student body here, by erroneous
stories about the bill, the students
fearing that IL was framed so AZ to
place additional requirements upon
them.
Senator Lees bill 10 framed so AZ
to exempt all students OF either the
University OF Michigan or the De-
troit College OF Law registered at
The time that Il takes effect. II can
not possibly affect the students of the
class OF 1911, even II amended. as
acts not emergency measures do not
take effect until 80 days after the
adjournment of the legislature.
I'm 20 years history as q law
school. We have not had graduate
fail at the state bar examination"
said Mr.. Gates. I'VE have had many
second-year students pass the examin-
ations. and many men who have been
plucked' by the faculty have taken
the easier state examination route
TO the bar. 49,
1T is doubtful IL this Is the right
way TO improve the standard OF tho
bar OF Michigan, though the faculty
OF the Detroit College of Law always
stands ready to cooperate In any
move which has that end In view.
The end would be better accomplish
ed by raising the qualifications for
admission, or by making q four-year
course.
AS for the mere matter Of a state
test OF qualification, II the state
wishes to impose the trouble OF the
three-day examination. We will guar
antee that our graduates will be
ready for it,"
