TO STOP DECEPTION

II Is an odd perversity with a large
portion Of the purchasing public that
product with a label of foreign man.
ufacture is of greater excellence than
similar article OF home production.
The demand for the foreign product
Is largely an affectation with a certain
class, who would be surprised to be
told how often they have been de-
ceived. but not cheated. because the
American article with the misleading
label is just as good. II not better.
than the foreign product This pTac-
tice OF INSCRIPTIONS dealers has
evoked an earnest protest from the
Manufacturing Perfumers' Associa-
tion Of the United States, who have
been large sufferers from this sort OF
deception In fact. they have gone
further than protest. and have by
resolution urged upon Congress the
passage OF a law making Il illegal to
transport in interstate commerce any
articles Of domestic manufacture IN
less the article shall bear the state
ment Made in America And this
must not be confused with that pa
triotic movement which Is urging the
purchase Of home made goods against
foreign competitive articles. although
In a certain sense IL is related.
The perfumers' association de.
clare that Il is their belief that the in
terests OF the American manufactur-
ers az a whole would be greatly ad-
vanced and those Of the general pub
tic conserved by the passage OF such
legislation as they advocate. Not
only in the perfumery industry. they
say. but in many others Of vastly more
importance. deception has been prac-
ticed on the public. and this deception.
while being not only immoral and
fraudulent. Is held TO be partly re-
fponsibie for the growth or continu-
ance Of the notion on the part OF the
general buying public that imported
articles are per So better than those
Of domestic origin.

NOTHING But TREASON

Hardly a day passes bur what Chair.
man Walsh adds something to the
accommodating proof OF his unGtness
as the head OF the Federal Industrial
Relations Commission. His latest Of
! Tense is in permitting such a man as
Haywood, secretary OF the Industrial
Workers OF the World. to air the trea-
sonable objects OF that anarchistic
organization in the name OF American
labor. The tenor OF Haywood's state
ments before the Commission shows
the ultimate object of that dis
turbing organization TO be a revolu-
tion that would wipe out the present
industrial and political system. and
that any methods OF action would be
acceptable TO them. a world in which
labor. organized into vast compact
union. should control all the means OF
production. and in which there should
be no such thing as capital" was

promise. He declared that the i'm

agittators by recognizing them as

erratic and dangerous chairman OF
the Commission had gone about as
far as he could. but to suffer such
preachments as Haywood emitted TO

THE SCIENTIFIC OUTLOOK

Secretary Redheld has the peculiar
faculty OF contradicting himself. or
being contradicted by the figures of
his own department. or the ofncial fg.
ures OF other departments OF the ad.
ministration. II has not been so long
ago that he severely criticised what
he was pleased to call the calamity
howlers"-those who differed with
him in regard to the degree OF the
prosperity OF the country. II was the
occasion OF his Indianapolis speech
that he grandiloduently consigned
these purveyors OF poverty for per.
sonal purposes" to unsung and un-
wept oblivion, those who in secret
places speak evil OF those who have
brought the country through the most
terrible commercial shock in its his

Redheld's prosperity IL IL were a tan

foreign war. In a recent speech in
Philadelphia to business men. Secre-
tary Redfeld exhorted American man

doubt he meant his own outlook. by
which he is enabled TO see objects at

outlook may be scientific" but it will

BOSSES AND NEAR BOSSES
