Clifford Pinchot in Letter
Here Says Greatest Danger

The safety of the United States

Pinchot in a letter tothe HARRIS

Mr.. Pinchot points out the dan

mission.
The letter follows in part:
The two great weapons in this
war are arms and starvation. The
war against German arms will be
won or lost in France-the war
against starvation will be won or
lost in America. The kaiser cannot
whip the French and English armies
and the English navy while England
has food. But it is still possible that

And the only sets of the Bri-

world, printed on this beautiful
paper. are Hghthere in America.

Orders greatlyincreased
in the last month-the sales
have jumped to an average of
more than 1000 sets a week.
This fact makes it certain that
the few remaining sets will not
last beyond 2 or 3 weeks.
If you know the Britannica,
know how useful it will be to
you, and are quite sure you
should own a set, order it i'm

assurance of getting ii.
When the last day is announced
on which we can accept orders with
any prospect of filling them, it is
reasonable to expect a great rush of
orders to come in at the eleventh hour.
This was shown last June when
slight increase in the price was made
on account of the increase in the cost
of bookmak king materials, and we
received over 10000 orders after the

LOCAL PLUMBERS
STRIKE AGAINST
TWO SHOPS HERE
Employers Declare Men De-
mand Much But Offer to
Give Little in Return.

/ Alleging they were forced to work
on jobs that non-union men had done
previous work on, four plumbers, one
from the plumbing shop Of j. G. King
i and three from Robinson brothers,
/ have walked out on what is termed a
strike. 1t had been stated that the
cause of the strike was the wage ques-
| ton but this was denied last night.
In an interview last night, J. G..
King said:
Il am an old union man, and be-
| lieve in working union men, paying
union salaries, and working union
hours, but l do not intend to have my
business run by anyone else.
Il think we are being treated I'M
| fairly by having our men to turn
down jobs OH which previous work
was done by men not belonging to a
union. This is treating neither the
| public nor the owner Of plumbing
shops right, and the public will not
stand for it, in my opinion.
1--WE are paying union salaries and
deserve union men, but by rights we
are not getting real union men. A
union man is supposed to be a
journeyman plumber, who has passed
a state examination, but half the
plumbers in this city can not pass,
and have not passed this examination.
II hope everything will end with
out trouble, and this little walkout
will not affect me. l have a good
plumber, Lewis Wilson, to take the
place OF Eugene Smith, who walked
out of my place, and will be able to
take care OF my work."
The local unions OF plumbers, Mr..
King said, was organized early in May.
Not only does the union demand that
none but union plumbers be employed
on any job in the city, but, MIR. King
said. they will net work on any job
where work OF any kind was done by
a carpenter, bricklayer, pointer or
other craftsman who is not member
OF q union Mr.. King said their are
eight men in Pine Bluff working as
