TO WORKERS
The Hub, owned by Henry c.
LyttOn & Sons, one of the largest
retail clothing firms in the country,
has just signed one of the most hui
name union agreements ever grant
ed employees by a large corporation.
Without a fight being made on
their store, the Lyttons yesterday
signed with the Amalgamated Cloth
ing Workers of America. Under its
terms the male workers are granted
minimum wage of SIG and the
women a minimum wage of SO. A
weeks vacation with full pay will be
given, working time is shortened Az
hours a week and overtime pay is in
creased. In addition, the store will
increase wages from year to year.
Sidney Hillman, international
president of the union, characterized
The Hubs step as one of the great
est advances made by union labor.
This means a great deal to our
union" he said. when a big store
like The Hub realizes the value of.
employing union labor it will probab-
ly wake up a lot of the employers
who refuse to deal with the union.
The friendly attitude of the Lyttons
in the negotiations with our organ
izatiOn has been one of my most
pleasant experiences in Chicago.
There was no quibblings over details.
The Lyttons asked us to present our
agreement, there were a few confer
ences and they signed"
The Hub sent out a statement on
the agreement to all the Chicago pa
pers yesterday. The Examiner was
the only one in which it appeared
this morning. The Tribune and Her
aid, probably fearing the wrath of
Marshall Field & Co. and the other
State street stores who are fighting
the union. suppressed it. Here is

increased from year TO year, rotallng
many thousands of dollars, while
maintaining vacations with pay and
many other benefits of great value
to the workers characteristic of this
institution.
1.-THE Hub makes the statement
that Mr.. Samuel Levin, who repre-
scented the clothing workers during
negotiations, acted for the union in
a very fair manner, meeting the re-
quirements of the retail business.
1.-THE Hub, Henry c. Lytton &
Sons, being the largest mems retail
clothing store in the world, has al
ways made it a point to employ the
best tailoring talent, and is glad that
the agreement with the union will as
sure them of a continuous supply of
this grade of labor. The mutual good
will at all times prevailing between
The Hub and its many employees is
thus further strengthened and bound
to result in higher efficiency and inn
proved service for its many patrons"
George LyttOn, vice pres. of The
Hub, gave out further details of the
agreement last night He said:
1--WE learned about two weeks ago
that the employees in our shop were
organizing. We called a few of them
in and they explained their plans.
We then got in touch with the union
and the agreement resulted.
I'VE feel that the added expense
it will cost us in meeting the pay
roll will be equalized by the incTeas-
ed good will of our employees. We
have always found that when you
keep your employees satisfied by
treating them fairly they will coop
crate with you and more efficient
work results.
"The Hub has always taken pride
in the loyalty of its employees. By
granting them the union wage with
out a fight we have simply followed

of Arthur r. Cowsill, where the regu-
lar monthly business meeting was held.
The social committee arranged a pro-
gram of entertainment previous to and
following the business meeting. The

played several selections and accom-
panied the class while the members
sang several songs from the Billy"

After the business was completed the
class moved on into a spare room.

progress and power throughout the
whole domain of christendom. While
the period of rest was due primarily
to the conversion of the leader of the
persecution yet Josephus has pointed
out another reason why the Christians
were allowed to enjoy religious free
dom
The insane Caligula had insisted
that the Jews give him divine honors
by placing his image in the temple at
Jerusalem, which was an absolute re-
ligious impossibility. Either this re-
quest of the mad emperor had to be
complied with or they would be con-
sidered as nation to be disloyal and
in rebellion. which meant war as
result of their offense. Their sus-
pense and strain did not end until
after Caligula's assassination
Throughout the three Roman dis
tricts of Palestine. Judah. Galilee and
Samaria. Christian communities had
been established as result of the
persecution and the preaching OF
Philip in Samaria and in the southern
maritime section about Cesarea Ihe
period of peace gave the opportunity
and the enlargement OF the NdIious
Christian communities which had not
yet been developed into separate &c
clesiasrical organizations called Tor

The visit of the leaders resulted in the
building up of the disciples both spir-
itually and numerically. Their ex-
position of the Masters life and teach
ings strengthened the disciples faith
Their effective evangelistic preaching
was blessed by the Holy Spirit in the
winning of many converts Tor the
Christ.
The lesson today presents two

apostles had been promised were not
given earlier because they had not
