FITZPATRICK WANTS RE
The chief speakers at the Fed
Grafton of Labor meeting yester-
day were Robert Smile, presi-
dent of the British Federation of
Miners, and James Seldom of the
British Shop Assistants Union,
both of whom are members of
parliament.
In introducing Seldom, Presi-
dent John Fitzpatrick told how
sorry heewas that the retail clerks
Of Chicago were not organized.
81 want to see the day when the
retail clerks of Chicago have dele
gates sitting in this body" said
Fitzpatrick. "The fact that the
retail clerks are not organized is
an Indictment against US. But I
do not know if we can be blamed
much. If ever there was an ar
rogant, oppressive gang Of men,
it's that State street crowd, which
is holding the clerks down. "
Smile, in his speech, raised a
general laugh by saying that Sin
America politics are pure and
there are no political bosses.
Smile also said that-in one way
the people of Britain are better
off than Americans.
In this country" he said, you
are tied down by a written consti-
tuition, which doubtless was ex-.
cellent enough in the day it was
written.

FAIL CLERKS ORGANIZED
that is why the act was declared
unconstitutional"
Seldom, in his speech, paid his
particular regards to what he call
ed the yellow press"
Il have found, he said, that
for the most artistic Ananias, a
reporter on a modern yellow jour
nal takes the prize. The people
need a powerful working press"
Oscar F. Nelson, vice president
of the federation and president Of
the National Postal Clerks union,
presented a resolution demanding
Jail sentences for reckless drivers
of automobiles, and for the arrest
of owners as we'll as chauffeurs.
within the last ten months,
said Nelson, eight persons have
been killed and several in iured by
automobiles at Belmont avenue
and Clark street. This is an in
tolerable record. And the old
fogies we call magistrates are in
large part responsible for it.
The resolution passed unani-
mously.
