The Clock
Without Hands

The business that attempts to
grow without advertising is about
as successful as the clock without
hands.
All the movements it makes
amount to little: for people don
know about them.
Yours may be a splendid bust
ness; but people are too busy to
find it out unless you tell them
about it by advertising.
They do know about the bust
ness of the fellow who keeps them
posted through the columns of
this and other newspapers. He In
vites their trade and tells them
why he wants 1t; or rather why
it is to their advantage to give it
to him.
Being a live business man he
knows how to treat customers
after he gets them. He knows he
can make his advertising pay only
by living UP to his promises.
Don't let your business be like
a clock without hands
Advertise.
Begin now.

CHARGE OF BOYCOTT|NG
IS NOT SUBSTANT|ATED
Department Of Justice Passes Upon
Complaint Against Allied
Printing Trades.

NEW YORK, March 1S.-What is re-
garded by the council as a substantial
exoneration Of the Allied Printing Trades
Councils Of several eastern cities on the
charges made against them by Double
day, Page & CO., publishers. is contained
in letter from the Department Of JUS
tice to the United States district attorney,
H. Snowden Marshall. made public last
night. The complaint Of the publishing
firm was that the organizations in ques-
ton had attempted boycott injurious to
them by ordering their members employed
by photo-engravers in Philadelphia, Bos-
ton and elsewhere to refuse work on
engravings which the firm had ordered
from manufacturers in tho e cities. The
case was made the subject of an ex
tended inquiry by a federal grand jury
here, violation of the Sherman law being
the specific charge made.
Not Regarded as Violation.
The letter received by Mr.. Marshall is
signed by G. Carroll Todd, assistant to
the United States Attorney General. Mr..
Todd found that it would not seem to be
violation of the federal antitrust act
for the members of the council concerted
" to refuse to do work on a book or
magazine being printed or illustrated in
shops employing non-union workmen.
Regarding the sending of circulars to
customers of non-union shops in at
tempts to deter them from having print
| ing or engraving done in the non-union
shops by threatening to appeal to state
| boards of education throughout the coun-
| try not to buy books from publishing
houses employing non-union printing
| shops, Mr.. Todd says that such action
would be political rather than partake
of the nature of a boycott as declared
unlawful in the Danbury hatters' case,
| and would not constitute a direct re-
straint OF interstate commerce within
| the principle of any case decided by the
I Supreme Court
! Medicine Company's. Complaint.
| In relation to complaint made against
the Allied Printing Trades Councils by a
patent medicine company that a publicsL-
| ton of the former had contained an APP
peal to union men not to patrontze the
| firm because work on its circulars had
been done by non-union electrotypers.
Mr.. Todd says the measures taken by
the electrotypers union. specifically
named in the complaint. should be stop
ped. 1t was held that the decision in the
Danbury hatters' case covered their
com plant.
! After a conference between Mr. Mar
shall and counsel for the Allied Printing
| Trades Councils 1t was decided that the
calling off OF the alleged boycott would
be satisfactory to Mr.. Marshall, but that
~, -s,-''''innce would cause the bringing
OF an equity injunction suit against the
councils.

that the assistant attorney general

ABLE TO SAVE MONEY
ON SALARY OF $500
Married Man Takes Issue With I'm
married Clerk Who
Gets 81 1000.
Thinks Latter's Salary Would En-
able Him to Contribute to
Retirement Plan.

Answering the claim Of a government
clerk. published in The Star last week,
that he has a hard time living on his
salary Of $1,000 a year. although single,
and that a contributary pension plan
would be hardship on civil service en-
pioyes. another man. who gets salary
OF 1880 year, has written to The
Star to say that the government clerk
must be extravagant. He adds, how
ever. that he thinks the salaries Of gov
eminent employees should be raised and
that $1,000 year should be the minimum.
This mans letter is az follows:
Il am not a government clerk, directly,
but receive salary Of $500 per year.
l am a married man and yet I manage
to get along on the same expenditure
per month that my friend does who
states that he spends $3.50 out of his
SS3.3S. Hence I manage to save about
1000 per year, or would save that amount
II l didn't have the additional item Of
travel which my friend does not have
and which costs me about 800 per year.
Table of Expenditures.
ITO make my position more definite I
have prepared table giving the figures
as set forth by the government clerk and
the average of my own expenses per
month before I was married and now.
My expenses before marriage, 1t will be
noted, compare favorably with those of

A Good Deal for Clothes.
THAT means sl26 per year. which is a
good deal. 1 spent s67 last year for

and magazines. That Is unreasonable.
One dollar will cover all such expenses,
