Bargain sales of merchandise? Oh,
no. The merchandise that is sold in
department store Easements is only
of a cheaper quality than that Of the

Don't you see them moving

In what store? Oh, any store. If
you are particular, take the store
that once held such a high reputa-
ton, Marshall Fields.
It is in their basement they are
so short of help in many departments
that girls dare not ask for the time
to leave the department that the rule

It is in Marshall Fields, the store
that is supposed to close at $50, that
girls who happen to be folders of
goods in their sections must work
until 6 o'clock and after.
It is there that during inventory

for a few hours in the daytime in
order that she may come back and
work until II o'clock at night.
Marshall Fields do not exceed the
1O-hour law, but they use a STRAIT
agem that is rather tricky, for,
though they give those few hours in
the daytime, the girl is still working
under them, to leave when they say
and return when they command.

And these girls, many Of them, adj
mitted frankly that they did not and
could not live on the money they
received. Some of them received
money from their parents, some of
them belonged to some lodge, some
of them just went without lunches,
and one woman walked a couple of
miles to the store each day.
How do you expect me to live on
my salary" a girl asked. ''You de-
mand a clean waist each day. If
weared a soiled one am sent home
to change it. The style of waists you
require cost $3.50 each. Of course
I don't live on the salary you pay
me-"
And Marshall Fields listened-but
that was all. They did not increase
the salaries of those girls who told
them frankly they could not live on
what they were getting.

Bar to Spectators.

cit was a pretty speech and he is a
fine orator, but sakes alive, what a
platform! No tobacco grower could
be fooled about that decision of the
court of Appeals. Every one of them
who is not looking for a preteXt on
which to hang a grievance knows why
the founders of the Burley Tobacco
Company, advised by the best lawyers
in the State, put a clause in the char
ter providing that poolers and not
outsiders who might secure stock
should vote The only reason, may
be, why Mr.. Kehoe was not one of
those who wrote that in the charter
is because he quit befort it was done.
If that bar hadn't been put up specu-
lators might have secured enough
stock to have sold out the organiza-
ton before this time. And that this
organization is of benefit to the farm
ers and safe only so long as they
themselves control it, is just as true
today as it was then.

Tracy will swell and solidify the ranks
who will vote for the perpetuation of
the organization, they regret exceed

agitation may be continued has been
extended. Business suffers from un-
rest, and expansion and progress are
handicapped. Various improvements

the executive committee was to hand
these matters over to the board to
have been elected October 7, and they
entered a vigorous protest against the
change in date. 1t will now be neces-
sary for the management to decide
whether or not the interests of the bus
mess require that contracts for i'm
provements shall be entered at once
so that the enlarged facilities may be
ready to handle this crop.

The Back Tax Suits.

Many stockholders will hope that
among developments Of the week may
be a settlement of the forty-five back
tax claims brought in the name of the
state The acceptance of the resigna-
tiOn of John Howard, revenue agent
for the state at large, who brought the
suits, and notification of Judge Louis
Apperson, his attorney, that his serv-
ices would not be required further, has
put Auditor H. M. Bosworth in a posi-
tion to consider any proposal for a set
tlement that may be made. These
suits, in which almost a million dollars
in taxes and $176,745.15 in fees were
sought, have tied up over three hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars belong
ing to the growers. This can be dis
tributed just as soon as a settlement
is effected. In the trial of the first
of the suits it was established that the
Burley Tobacco Society, an organiza-
tion without cent of capital, was
purely a selling agent, without author
ity to list the tobacco it handled or the
proceeds; that it was the duty of grow
ers to list their property and pay taxes
in the county of their residence, and
that as far as the evidence showed, all
of the property in question had been
assessed and the tax paid in the forty
five counties.

What the trust hoped for was the
destruction of the movement through
a flood of suits aided by such internal
discord as could be fomented. What
competitors now hope for is that the
organization will fall into hands that
would make it's failure certain. The
only reason why those who are try.

Kehoe is going to allow them to write
his name on their ticket. In fact,
do not believe that they will offer q

care even to hear the personal griev

not help self-seekers to grind theil

Every man Of them is an expert,
schooled in the tobacco business as

to their ability. A set of men better
equipped with practical knowledge and
thorough experience can't be gotten to-

proved. They do not have to be asked
what they are going to do. They can
point to what they have done. The

Real Hope of Competitors.

ga great many people seem to think
that the trust would like to get hold
of this business for what the COM
pany owns and to remove it as
competitor in the manufacture of to-
bacco. These considerations do not
amount to a hill of beans when you
look deeper into the matter. What
makes every other manufacturing con-
Germ an enemy of the Burley Tobacco
Company is that in the last five years
this organization has made them pay
for the tobacco they were compelled
to have to run their factories over
fifty million dollars more than they
would have had to pay for the leaf if
there had been no organization. In
the next five years the growers will
get another fifty millions more than
they would have received when they
were defenselsss. This is reason
