There is general complaint
among the consumers that many Of
their local grocers and merchants
have tendency to substitute when
certain brands of goods are asked
for. This they do without consult
ing the customer, taking for grant
ed that the customer is 'easy-going'
and win not mind Those who are
not so hazardous offer substitute
with the explanation that they have
the brand requested, but that the
trademarked articles are so expen-
sive, for which reason they wish to
offer something just as good II not
better and give the consumer the
benefit of the lower price. II the
consumer bites" the merchant sells
the inferior article at a big profit.
Should he be not so discreet as to
keep the advertised article he does
not always say so. Instead, he wheed

merits and the low sale price.
He assures the customer that as

Educational Campaign Projected.

The movement of the women will find
its definite form in the development Of a
broad educational campaign for practical
and definite reforms by the national COM
mittee on prison labor, and it is expected
that leading women throughout the coun-
try will indorse the plan of the New York
women.
Gov. West told how organized labor
had encouraged him in his work of
prison reform. and had passed resolu-
tons urging the brick making by con-
victs, while John Manning. editor of the
Garment Worker contended that Or
ganized labor had been the real prison
reformers for fifty years. and would back
to success the work of the national com
mittee on prison labor. with its broad
national platform of penal reform, if It
took another fifty years. Manning chal-
lensed the grating prison contractors
and warned the women to beware of the
chicanery of shirt firm with prison con
tracts. which hides under the name of a
philanthropy known as the National Free
Labor Association. The union mans an
peal brought proffer of help for the
national committee on prison labor from
the governors of New York and Oregon
an the Civic Federation passed unani-
mously resolution of support and CO.
operation.
