Julius Orkin's store weeks ahead
of any store in town, and this ap-
plies on everything from Blousas
to Ladies' Suits and Coats.
That's the advantage the Orkin
store has over stores that are
forced to depend on the semi-an-
nual trips of nonresident buyers,
who buy weeks and months ahead
OF the regular selling season. III
styles change, those stores HAVE
to sell what they have on hand!
Many people have the idea that
IT is necessary to pay high prices
for ultra-smart garments - or
really more than their actual In
trinsic Value-but Julius Orkin's
success is a practical demonstra-
tion that his store offers these
stylish and good garments at prices
as low as are charged for the
mediocre styles in many other
places.

Orkin's on a "Style Inspection"

Briefly summarized the important
points developed by their deliberations
here are:
"First--A renewed insistence upon the
principle Of arbitration as the only
proper method Of settling labor disputes.
The railroads have given the employees
every possible consideration in this re-
spect by Offering to arbitrate their diff
ferences either through the Interstate
Commerce Commission. under the New
lands act or by a commission to be se-
lected by the President Of the United
States.
"Second--An increased realization Of
the responsibility of the railroads toward
their other employees. the shippers, the
industrial. commercial and general pub
lie, which they have beer made to reel by
thousands Of kilograms insisting upon
the maintenance Of their position.
Decay Responsibility for strike.
THE railroad executives came to
Washington upon the invitation Of Presi-
lent Wilson and In good faith have
worked continuously and earnestly In
a sincere effort to solve the problem in
justice to all the parties at interest.
These efforts were still In progress when
the issuance Of the strike order showed
them 10 be u%navailine. Responsibility
for the threatened strike does not rest
with the executives.

request Of the President last week and

sents the unanimous sentiment OF the

TEXT OF WILSON
SPEECH IN CONGRESS
President Wilson spoke as follows.

III LLNxz IL
President Wilson spoke as follows:
GENTLEMEN OF THE CoNGREss--I
have come to you to seek your assist
ance in dealing with a very grave
situation which has arisen out of the
demand Of the employees Of the rail-
roads engaged in freight train service
that they be granted an eight hour
working day. s~afeguarded by payment
for an hour and a half Of service for
every hour Of work beyond the eight.
The matter has been agitated for
more than n year. The public has been
made familiar with the demands Of the
men and the arguments urged in favor
OF them. and even more familiar with
the objections of the railroads and
their counter demand that certain
privileges now enjoyed by their men
and certain bases Of payment worked
out through many years OF contest he
r~econsidered. especially in their rela-
ton 20 the adoption Of an eight hour
day. The matter came some three
weeks < to a final issue and resulted
In a complete deadlock between the
parties. The means provided by law
for the mediation OF the controversy
failed and the means Of arbitration for
which the law provides were rejected.
The representatives OF the railway
executives proposed that the demands
Of the men be submitted I'm their en-
tirety to arbitration. along with GER
ain questions OF readjustment as to
