POLICE AND STRIKE AGENCIES
PREPARE FOR TIE-UP
Big Biz is preparing for railroad
strike. Private detective agencies
are importing strikebreakers for use
against the railroad unions. Chief Of
Police G. c. Healey issued an order
that no policemen would be allowed
off on furloughs after Sept. 1, and
business began tightening as stocks
fell in expectation of the trouble.
VIM. SoutheTland, sup't of the
Mooney & Boland agency, admitted
today that he has brought number
of strikebreakers into the city for
use in the employ Of the railroads.
These are weII-seasoned veterans of
strike-slugging matches. The Soule-
agency is also importing men.
Healey's order to hold all police in
the city after Sept. 1 was rUmored
as the first effort the police depart
ment has made to aid the railroads.
The excuse given was that they
would be used for election duty.

There are numerous instances where large
printing jobs have been placed out Of Wash.
ington at slight difference in price. the buyer
then soliciting advertising from Washington
business houses. These buyers should first con-
slider if the small difference existing in price
really is worth while, and the only way to con-
vince him that il is not as profitable as it looks
is to insist that the printing be placed in
Washington printing office.
When you buy your printing in Washington
your money comes back to you but when you
buy out of town there is no rebound; it merely
benefits the other city, leaving you only the
small original gain.
The Washington printers have the most
up-to-date equipment; comparing favorably
with any other city and employ only skilled
wcrkmen, who are we'll paid AMI who spend
their money in Washington. The work pro-
duccd by them is the best and the price as low
as consistent with the class Of work.
Consider twice before sending your printing
expense money out of the city where you have
your capital invested and from among the PEG.
pie who constitute your trade.
Make this expense an asset by buying in
Washington. In other words, in considering
the Washington printers interest and other
Washington merchants interest you are only
considering your own interest first, last and
always.
