LOCAL LABOR MEN STRONG FOR
JOHN H. WALKER
The election of John H. Walker
as president of the Illinois Fedora
ton has met with the heartiest en-
dorsement of Chicago labor men.
While there is still a certain
amount of grumbling from members
of the so-called "old guard" the rank
and file of the labor movement be-
ieve that real progressive era is at
hand.
One rumor started by one of the
old gang was to the effect that the
malcontents would start new state
body headed by Edwin R. Wright,
former president of the l.. F. of L., and
Simon O'Donnell, the discredited
president of the Building Trades
Council. This idea has caused much
amusement in labor circles. ~
Edwin R. Wright, himself, has al
ready put the kibosh on this. In a,
very gracious speech he said he
would support the new president and
work for the good of the Illinois Fed
Grafton.
One good effect of Walkers cleo
ton as. forecasted by local leaders
will be in the way the members of
the federation vote in the future.
1t is believed that they will tear down
political party lines and vote for the
candidates and the issues that labor
need. This change will affect indus
trial and political interests through
out the state. ..... III.
Several organizations, barred by
the old ring, are expected to be adj
mitted to membership. ...-

The Parcels Post

There was inaugurated JAM 1st, 1913, the new sys-
tenn of Parcels Post whereby cheaper TRANSPORTATION is
possible upon practically every sort of merchandise
except in a few prohibited articles.
The advantage is ncalcuable in saving and conven-
ience. Residents in outlying districts particularly
those favored by rural free delivery will find this sys-
tenn to be of nestimable benefit to them.
Intricate such a massive system was to work out,
those in charge of it have smpifed into easy work
ing form.
Following usual rule of preparing charges on
purchases of $500 and upward, within a hundred
miles OF Wilmington, shall further extend this
privilege under the Parcels Post system. Under the
zone system as arranged there is sliding scale of
rates covered by distance.
As a guide to be prepaid postage charges you can
gain an idea from the following table,
First zone, weight pound, so miles, free
81 90 purchase.
Second zone, weight pound, $50 miles, free
s.. purchase
Third zone, weight one pound 300 miles free on
81 90 purchase.
Fourth zone, weight one pound, 600 miles, free on
s. 90 purchase
Fifth zone, weight one pound, 900 miles free on
$500 purchase.
Sixth zone, weight one pound, 400 miles, free on
81 90 purchase.
Seventh zone, weight pound, 300 miles, free
So purchase.
All purchases weighing up to II pounds which can
be packed to conform to regulations will be delivered
free in above where purchases equal in proper
ton those mentioned under the single pound rate in
other words, when sending orders you figure
approximately FREE DELIVERY being based
as about per cent. your purchase.
To give an idea as to relative weights of merchan-
disc in our line note the following table including
necessary packing:
Pair of Corsets 20 ounces. Table Cloth and Nap
kins, four pounds Half dozen Towels, three pounds.
Girls Serge Dress, FIVE pounds. Girls Wash Dress,
two pounds Womans Cloth Suit eight pounds
Woman's Cloth Coat eight pounds. pair of Wool
Blankets, six pounds. Down, Wool or Cotton
Comfortable, five pounds. A Linen Dress, two and
half pounds. A Wool Dress, two pounds. Six pairs
Hose, and half pounds A Silk Dress one and
half pounds.
In our organization we have sales people who are
thoroughly competent and you in many instances
entrust with safety to open orders for many things
with the assurance of their being sent promptly and to
| your satisfaction
Goods shipped by Parcels Post are returnable only
when return charges paid by purchaser.
