We are selling union suit, model No. 412, for women now at 1.25 the gar ment. The new Garter price list, is- sued August 1, 1917, quotes the whole sale price of this garment, model No. 412, at 15.00 the dozen. Divide 15 by 12 and you will see that any store buy ing Carter's underwear since August 1 is paying 1.25 for garment that we are selling for 1.25. Fortunately for you and for us, our buyer of knit un- dergarments bought Carter's under wear for this winter nearly year ago. Now we are going to buy for next win ter, for Carter's will assuredly ad vance again. Just think of it. We are going to buy model No. 412 again and pay 1.25 q garment the same price that you are paying.

Because of a fortunate special pur- chase of short lengths of 36-inch wide white poplin, we are enabled to offer an unusual value at 35c 8 yard. These lengths come from 10 to 20 yards to the piece, which is below the standard, but by no means should be considered rem nants." This good poplin is one of the best fabrics for making boys wash suits, middy blouses and tai lored suits for girls.

KEEP LABOR STANDARDS.
Defense Council Suggests Continuation

Defense Council Suggests Continuation
OF Present Hours of Toll.
In statement simplifying its recent
appeal TO employers and workers not
to change labor standards at this time
the Council of National Defense says
it recognizes that adjustments may be-
come necessary and suggests that the
council itself may find it advisable to
propose notifications.
ut is not the purpose of the council,
however" it is stated, ito undertake
to determine the wage rate that will
be sufficient to maintain the existing
standards Of living. That should be
referred to the mediation agencies of
the government or to such other con-
stituted agencies as may exist, to the
end that such questions may be ad
iusted in az orderly and equitable man.
ner to avoid the stOppage of industries
which are - vital to the interests Of
the nation . this critical time.
ut is the judgment of the council
that the federal state and municipal
governments should continue to main
tain the usual hours of labor and
standards Of safety, sanitation and in
spection."
In explanation of its statement that
the council may find 1t necessary to
make adjustments the council says:
"While the council does not mean to
intimate that under ordinary circum-
stances the efficiency of workers is
the only element that should be taken
into consideration in fixing the hours
Of labor, safety, sanitation womens
work and child labor standards, it is
the object that must be attained dur
ing the period when the nations safe
ty is involved"

EXEMPTION FOR LABOR.

Men Needed For War Work Should Not
Be Subject to Conscription.
Exemption from army CONSUMPTION
for workers necessary for munitions
manufacture and for production of ar
ticles needed to maintain the civilian
population was urged by Samuel Com
pers, president Of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor, in statement point
ing to Great Britain's mistake In
taking into the fighting forces thou
sands Of men who afterward had to
be returned to the manufacturing In
dustrieS.
1.-THE fundamental demand which Ia
Dor makes in connection with the con-
scription act" said Mr.. Gompers, lis
that representatives of wage earners
must be upon every board, national,
state and local, which has to do with
the administration Of the law. This
demand is In accord with the methods
found necessary in Great Britain and
Is founded upon Justice and democra-
CIV. The wage earners will be vitality
affected by selective consumption, and
they ought to have representatives In
such strategic positions.
"The spirit of labor In the nations
emergency has been generous and pa
triotic, They are willing to do their
part and to give that which is a part
of their very lives. They must be met
in the same spirit of fairness and CO
operation by both the government ana
the employers, that the ideals OF our
| republic may be maintained In the con-
test In which we are engaged"
Mr.. Gompers called attention to
Great Britain's exemption Of labor lead
ers from military service.
"All full time labor officials have been
exempt" his statement continues. ~Thls
provision Is based upon the recognition
which the British government gives to
the importance of maintaining the work
of the organized labor movement and
thus enabling it to perform its function
as an essential element In organization
for production. Practically all war
agreements dHGCtlu6 Way S"AAoAS 49,
Great Britain have been the result of
conferences between the representatives
of trade unions and the government.
"When in Great Britain the question
of the exemption of individuals In q
particular trade arises, due to the
change in the working arrangements In
the establishment, the last person en-
ployed Is the one to be released for mil
itary service. This simple regulation
has prevented what otherwise might
work great hardship upon the labor
organization, for all workers are ia
miliar with the ingenuity with which
| employers can find reasons for discharg-
| ing those who are active In the labor
movement. If there were no such pro-
vision all undesirable labor leaders
would be drafted at once into the mill
tary service"
