Did YOU ever notice 10 the spring
\ When the snow is no more
The stuff that has accumulated
Out at your back door,
Just write down the articles
On a souvenir card
That's been thrown out in the winter
In your back yard.
Some empty pickle bottles,
Potato Feelings and cork,
A few empty salmon cans,
Two teaspoons and fork,
Onion Feelings. rotten apples,
A pail that once held lard,
All mixed up in smelly mess

And yet some people won't wash their

GOMPERS SAYS HELP
BAKERY WORKERS

Washington, Sept. Is 49, President
Gompers has issued a statement to
A. F. of j.. organizers, both salaried
and volunteer, to give their assistance
toward the agitation movement STRAIT
ed and to lend their cooperation in
the formation Of new locals of the
Bakery and Confectionery Workers
International Union. $
This organization is giving the
bread trust effective battle and is
maintaining efficient organizing corp
to check the efforts of the trust to
dominate the bread industry and
thereby dictate working conditions.
These organizers are necessarily sta
toned in large cities where the trust
has made the strongest invasions and
at one time endangered the existence
of the Bakers unions. The trust is
now attempting tolmarket their pro-
ducts in the smaller cities and crush,
if possible, the independent baker,
who is inclined to recognize the Bak-
ers' union.
To checkmate this move the bakers
are organizing these workers. In cor
respondence with President Gompers,
International Secretary IHland, of the
bakery and confectionery workers,
says: W
$50 far, We surely have no com
plant to make, as, organized labor in
general has given us good support in
the last years in reference to our la
bel agitation, as the output of the la
bel has oincreased, and If continued
the trust will be confronted with an
issue as they expected. On the other
hand we must now try our utmost to
also organize local unions in all cities
