BETTER FOR THE BOY.

No small factor in the prohibit
ton victories of this year has been
the dry vote Of drinking men. The
explanation Of the seeming paradox
ia not far to- seek. One Oregon
man gives it concisely thus: Il
drink myself aud four years ago l
wonld. have voted wet and done
everything in reason to carry it.,
because I thought that everything
would go to the dogs under dry
conditions. But now I've got a
boy at home and the question
whether it costs me little more or
.,little less cuts no ice with me. l
Lnowlit will be better for the boy
and that settle it."

Schiller street, makers of the Scholl
Foot Easer arch Supporters or
Steel Braces to 60 into shoes. At
that time this firm pleaded that
their business was In such bad
shape that they could not possibly
grant our request for six months.
We granted them this sxtention
of time, during which period they
were considered on a par with the
union factories that had acceeded
to our demands.
At the expiration of the time al
lowed, about September /, 1913,
when the Union agreement was
again presented. The Scholl Mfg.
Co., repudiated their verbal under
standing, refused to grant the I'm
ion conditions. The strike ensued
and this company Immediately en-
ployed strike breakers and are now
operating a Non-Unicn Shop.
Our members have been on strike
nearly two years and have tried by
all honorable means to effect a set
tlement.
Mr.. Scholl openly boasts that be
does not need the assistance of or
ganizsd labor. With yonr assist
arce we can win this strike.
