WHAT MARSHALL FIELD EMPLOYEES THINK OF
THAT XMAS "PRESENT"
XMAS

THAT XMAS
That famous big stone building at
the corners of Wabash, Randolph,
Washington and State streets -
Marshall Field & Co.-has fallen of
its First Place on State Street" ped
estal. The spirit of the workers is
broken. The big Field family has
had a mental split-up. And all on &C
count of the Christmas present"
that the parents of the family-the
Big Bosses gave the children of the
famiy-the workers. This present,
which came after one of the most
successful years in the history of the
store, was simply letter of thanks.
While the owners reaped a harvest
in coin, the employees reaped a har-
vest in thanks. And the employees
are peeved and disappointed.
Workers in other big State street
stores who got a Christmas present
in the form of a financial lift are Civ
ing the laugh to Marshall Field en-
ployes. And these other big stores
are the ones supposed to run second
to Marshall Field & Co. in class.
Young girls and young men have
trained for expert work in salesman
ship at these other stores they
have graduated to Marshall Field &
Co.NThere has been a feeling of pride
in working for this big institution.
But this feeling drew an awful set
back when, with profits running wild
for the store, nothing was forthcom-
ing for those who did the work that
brought in the big sales, but thank
you"
The feeling among Marshall Field
workers is strong evidence of this.
What hurts more than anything, so
the employees say, is that higher-ups
spread the hint-without making it
openly - that the Big Bosses were
working on bonus system. And this

WHICH IS THE BETTER, A
POLICEMAN OR FIREMAN?

Atlanta, Ga, March 13.-Which is
the better man, a policeman or fire.
man? Somebody raised the question
in Atlanta, and the two departments
are seething with rivalry and compe-
ton and challenges.
Peeved by the rumor that they were
afraid to meet the fire fighters in an
athletic contest, Atlanta's faithful pro-
tectors of the law have thrown down
the gauntlet to meet the fireman in
any sort of competition that ingenuity
can devise.
1--WE can beat 'eh1 at anything from
chess to soft Hawaiian music on the
ukelele," asserts the policeman, while
the firemen declare they can lick the
police in a stud poker game in front
of the Grady monument if the chief
of police will promise not to pinch
the contest.
