THE ONLY WAY A Timely Article From the HOughtOn Mining Gazette Dealing With Mail
 Order Trouble

chants the country over for many years. They have been denounced by business men and attacked in editorials time and again, but each annual state ment shows more business done and better profits than the year before.
 People may be exhorted to trade at home-to support home industry until doomsday, but unless the local stores in the smaller cities throughout the country adopt the same methods that have made the mail-order business so profitable, these pleadings will be in vain.
 Advertise! Advertising is the basis of the success of these big concerns and the manner in which the Houghton (Mich. ) Mining Gazette points out the failings to those merchants who complain most against mail-order competitor, will be interesting to many merhants. After re- ferring to the periodical denun- citation which mail-order houses receive the article says:
 But the mail-order houses go right along doing more and more business just the same and not withstanding. They now are planning on a nationwide news paper campaign to follow up their catalog business. Busi- ness men cuss them and try various and divers means of at tacking them. But abusing the mail-order houses never is an argument. Saying mean things about them is making them friends. Talking about support ing home industries doesn't get very far because the average business man who talks about patronizing home business usual ly buys more or less of his own personal necessities somewhere else. There is only one way to compete with the mail-order house and that is to do business the way he does it. Don't ask for sympathy because you carry a lot of bad accounts on your books. Clean 'em up. Don't t complain about his prices when you can meet them. Meet them and let your public know that you are meeting them. Do your advertising and do it more eff ciently than he does. His once a year catalog isn't in it with daily announcements of prices. We are not suggesting that you run one big advertisement for a week or anything like that. But make your advertising valuable by it's very attractiveness, it's continuity, and the plain state ments of goods and prices. We can show you dozens that are doing it every day in the Gazette. They are not sitting in the rear end of the store kicking about the mail-order houses and the ungrateful public. They are putting in some time each day getting a good, straight-from- the-shoulder advertisement ready to print in the morning. They are discounting their bills. Their business is good They look prosperity and they show it too. They are making money and thinking about what sort of an automobile they will buy next. They are beating the mail-order people because they run their business right, keep their collections up to the min ute. beat the mail-order prices. and tell the people about it all the time. That last item is the most important of all

by her officers to prevent capture.
The officers and crew, according to
the rumor, Mr.. Wadsworth said, had
put to sea on one of the ships cap

There have been several reports
from English sources concerning the
German cruiser Karlsruhe. One was
that she had returned safely to Ger

MARKET BRIBERY
IS ALLEGED BY
ALDERMAN HAHN
Declares Every Republican
Councilman Has Been Seen
in Matter.
POSITIONS PROMISED
TO THEM, HE CLAIMS
Says One Man Offered Him
$4,000 to Vote Against
Raymond.

Alderman Henry Hahn, Republic
can. of the Third ward, today told
an Evening Star reporter that every
Republican alderman in the city has
been approached in the matter Of OBJ
tanning enough votes in the Common
Council to overcome Mayor Ray
mond's veto of the resolution to
award the contract for the proposed
new Centre Market building. He
also stated that he was personally
offered 5000 TO vote in favor of the
market contract award.
William Okin and Little joe
Wright, he said, were the men who
had called on him In relation to the
market matter.
The Common Council stands TWEEN
ty Democrats to twelve Republicans.
In order to offset the veto of the
mayor two Republicans will have to
vote with the Democrats. The award
of the contract may then be made.
Some of the Republican aldermen
have been offered money and others
have been promised positions, both
political and in business, If they will
vote for the contract" said Mr.. Hahn.
I'm one instance one of the Republic
can aldermen was promised the sup
port OF the Democratic organization
for the nomination for Board OF
Works Commissioner.
81 do not care to mention any
names,'' said Mr.. Hahn, but 1t was
Edward NJ Waldron who took UP this
matter of the bribery. He started the
whole talk
Mr.. Waldron is the contractor who
started the court proceedings to throw
out the first award of the market con-
tract. At that time Mr.. Waldron said
he would take the market work for
500, 900 lower than the concern that
got the first job. The Waldron second
figures were only $4,000 under his
first one.
Alderman Hahn in his story also
said
zone man came to nay ONCE and
told me that there WAS money to be
spent, and that would be a fool IL
Another man came and | was
asked to represent local contracting
firm. knew what this meant and
elected him from my office"
sThe man who offered me the s5 ,0ot
was William Okin.
THE man who came to my office
and asked me to represent the con-
tractor was little Joe Wright, former
alderman"
Alderman Hahn said he was willing
to go before the grand jury.
The, market contract matter was
scheduled to be disposed of at last
nights meeting of the Common
Council. After debate it was allowed
to remain on the table and the meet
ing adjourned until next Friday. Last
night Alderman Hahn said he was
in favor of disposing of the question
at that time.

NEW YORK, March 2o.-Passengers
aboard the British steamer Lapland,

A novel method of calling public

The sign reads, "a hundred family

CARPENTERS TO
STRIKE UNLESS
DEMAND IS MET
Declare New York Men Get SIS
a Day for Work on Same
Jobs. ,

Journeymen carpenters, of Newark
and vicinity, who are demanding an
increase of fifty cents a day for their
labor, beginning May 1, appear to be
thoroughly determined to strike If
their demands are not granted by the
master carpenters, and they inti-
mated today that a similar strike
may be instituted in Jersey City.
While unwilling, for obvious rea-
sons, to give their names, members of
the craft who were seen today at
their headquarters in Aurora Hal,
4s William street, freely expressed
their grievances and declared that
there was no reason for the wage
for carpenters In Newark to be q dol
lar day less than in New York.
"The talk by the bosses that they
are not making expenses is rot. They
are not In business for their health
and it Is foolish for them to talk
that way" said one of the younger
carpenters today. why don't they
90 out of business If they are losing
money every day."
'sThere ought not said another, Ito
be 3 dollar q day difference between
the Newark and New York scale.
Many times the Newark men work
harder than the New Yorkers who are
brought here. A great many New
Workers. come here and gobble up the
Jobs, but, of course, il they carry
union cards they are entitled to work
anywhere they wish. If they are en-
ployed by New York bosses they get
SIS q day, and we work alongside of
them every day, working just as hard
as they do, and get s4 a day for our
labor.
eat Yonkers, which has $4,000 pops
ulation. the men get $3.50 a day, and
at Tarrytown and Hastings they are
getting the same. Certainly, II they
get $3.50 a day at places like Hastings
we should be able to get that much
here. Even then we will be making
fifty cents day less than the New
Workers."
"Yes,' said another man, ''the
stumbling block here is that Jersey
City, which is nearer to New York
than Newark, has q $4 day wage
scale. and it has been hard for us to
get an advance. This time, however,
the Jersey City carpenters are going
after. q fifty-cent increase also, and
will probably strike If they don't get
It,"
Another man said: "Our officers
have been going around town and
they say that the architects offices
are full of work and that they are
just waiting for bids. so this talk that
there is no work in sight is not JUS
titled by the facts.
Among the master carpenters the
feeling appears to be that the strike,
should one be called on May 1, would
be decidedly ill-advised, as there is
not enough building work going on to
make 1t necessary for them to employ
a large number of men. The master
carpenters think that the journeymen
would be glad to take work at almost
any price. while the journeymen say
that If they have been able to loaf
through the winter and live they can
loaf a little longer for the sake Of
winning the demanded increase.
