SHOE MANUFACTURERS
AGREE TO SHOE CHANGES

Shoe manufacturers responding to
the questionable sent out by the
commercial economy board of the
council of national defense show a
decided wish to conserve on materials
and labor, as suggested by the ques-
tions in the booklet. A Newark
manufacturer, representative of the
trade, has answered according to the
following summary:
Women's shoes should be no higher
than eight inches; the extremely high
and fancy colored tops being swim
dow advertising" shoes, Children's
boots should be in the same proper
tion as the height of women's shoes.
For mems shoes the colors should
be limited to black and two shades
of tan."
Rainbow hues in women's shoes re-
ceive a jolt, the manufacturer declar-
ing: "It would be a good thing for
the trade and for the customers
pocketbooks if black came into popu-
larity. White, two shades of tan
and two shades of gray are popular,
but the tendency to have different
colored top for each different col
ored dress is what boosts the produc-
tion cost and the cost to the
customer"
The wing tip is novelty, says the
manufacturer; it's elimination would
save labor and material. All shoes
should have only the natural finish
on soles, for "it would show up the
cheap shoe; the customer would see
what he is getting"
Pull straps should be eliminated in
all shoes except those for old men
and women.

Factories East of
Mississippi River
Ordered Closed
Administrator Garfield Issues Far
Reaching Order
The Most Drastic War Measure
Yet Adopted Goes Into
Effect Today

The most drastic measure in line
with the conservation Of fuel was
incorporated in the order issued
Wednesday afternoon by National
Fuel Administrator Harry A. Gar
field.
All manufacturing plants east Of
the Mississippi river, except those
engaged in the production of food
stuffs, are ordered closed for a period
of five days beginning Friday, Jan.
10, and that for the months OF
February and March they shall close
every Monday and on each holiday.
The stunning effect of this order
can hardly be realized. Hundreds of
thousands Of men and women will
be thrown out of employment for
the days included in the order, and
the loss in wages will aggregate an
enormous amount. Those who find
existence a problem with their pre-
sent income will be forced to exer-
else still greater economy, and priva-
ton and suffering will ensue.
1t is>'stated in the order that i'm
perative necessity and imperative
necessity alone has been the cause
of this sweeping and far reaching
measure, and that theft situation
is far more serious and alarming than
is generally recognized. 1mpeded
transportation is given as the cause
for the edict.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that the
situation may soon assume a more
encouraging aspect, and that the
manufacturing industries may be en-
abled to return to normal conditions.

THE MAYOR AGAIN RECOGNIZES
ORGANIZED LABOR

Mayor Atherton not only made
good selection but at the same time
recognized organized labor, when he
appointed Mr.. VIM. F. Seymour to
the important position Of Sealer of
Weights and Measures. The appoint
ment took effect on the 10th, and our
citizens can feel assured that the
duties pertaining to the office will
be performed in thorough and pain
stalking manner.

"HEAR DEM JOY BELLS RINGIN'

]. Oscar Juch, of the Newark
Leader, Newark, Ohio, was an Ad-
vocate visitor this week. His paper
is the official organ of Newark TraNes
and Labor Assembly and he reports
organization of labor in the Buckeye
State as on the boom with plenty of
work. Come again, Mr.. Juch. Wish
you all kinds of success with the
Leader, and the dear wife for whom
you had to come to good old York to
secure. We did not intend to say
anything about this part of his visit,
but it's too good to keep. Mr.. Juch
enlisted as benedict here on Tues
day last and his household companion
is Miss Pauline, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Daniel Dietrich, 317 Carlisle ave.

FOOD TO SOLDIERS SPOILED

The council of national defense re-
quests friends and families of soldiers
not to send them food. An abundant
supply is being furnished in the camps
and cantonments, the statement said,
and large quantity of privately sent
food is being wasted. In some cases
the food has been spoiled on account
of having been conveyed long dis
tances in heated express or mail cars.

Is it q Mistake to
Abandon Canals :?
An Eastern Publication Has Views
on the Subject Worthy
of Consideration

The following editorial in very
reputable eastern magazine has such
bearing on the matter of transporta-
ton that it may well be read with
interest and pondered:
"Several years ago New York began
rebuilding the old Erie Canal, from
Buffalo to Albany, which had long
been nearly useles. The state has
spent something like hundred mil
lion dollars on the project and the
work is about done. From Albany to
New York City and tidewater there is
one of the finest natural waterways
in the world.
1t is calculated that the completed
canal can carry twenty million tons
Of freight over route where the
movement of freight is suffering a
frightful congestion. If the canal
were in full operation it would re-
lease some hundred thousand freight
cars that are badly needed elsewhere.
Between Albany and New York
City the movement of freight is put
at fourteen million tons annually.
1t now moves over cluttered railroads
paralleling the river. These railroads
at present are enforcing some six
teen hundred embargo rules in an
effort to keep themselves from being
completely swamped.
The waterway is there; but it is
moving very little freight, because it
has no equipment to speak of. There
are no barges; docks and terminals
are lacking. With proper barges,
freight might move now in unbroken
bulk from Buffalo to the berth of an
ocean steamer in New York Harbor-
that is, with only one handling be-
tween Buffalo and Liverpool or Havre;
or it might move in unbroken bulk
from Buffalo as far north on the At
lantic Seaboard as Boston and as far
south as Norfolk; for the barges
would be seagoing to that extent.
So the New York Chamber of Com
merce proposes to petition the Federal
Government for immediate assistance
in building fleet of canal barges.
Suppose we had had an intelligent,
scientific program for the develop
ment of inland waterways-instead of
inebriately throwing away millions
after millions year in and year out on
piecemeal, pork-barrel, logrolled river
and-harbor appropriations.
1t is absolutely certain that we
should not now be suffering from this
freight congestion. But Congress has
always refused to adopt an intel
ligent, scientific program, under the
guidance of an impartial expert COM
mission"
| The state of Ohio with its more
than fourteen million dollars worth
of canals is all but throwing them
away, 1t would cost now five times
the above sum to build them new.
The country has been leaning on the
railway development and they have
confessed their inadequacy in times of
peace and have thrown themselves
in the arms of the general govern
ment with their watered stock issues.
Had the Ohio canal been in opera
tion in the last six months there
would have been no coal shortage
over a good part of the state. 1t
tapped the. great coal measures of
eastern and southern Ohio.

VIM. M. Morgan
President of the Newark Trades and
Labor Assembly

1t has become necessary, in the
mind of the writer, that it is due to
ourselves and to our honorable
president, that in order to pacify the
minds of those citizens who spend
all of their spare moments in op-
posing any movement for the better
ment of organized labor to criticise
all workers in the cause, and espe-
cially our officers calling them agi-
tators and disruptors of business and
capital. A statement is widely cir
culated that Morgan" is not fit
member of organized labor, but a
merchant and capitalist.
Let us see
l. Who was he?
2. What was he?
8. Why was he?
a. What is he?
5. And why is he?
/. In 1894 country boy came to
Newark to start in life for himself.
2. He was farmers son and not
afraid to work. He accepted work as
laborer at low wages with Brennan
q Nutter, working on the grading and
paving of West Church street, then
he was teamster. He was induced
to take up music as side line, and
to better his wages he became
charter member of the musicians
union, working at hard labor during
the day time, and picking up a few
extra dollars at night, and on special
occasions during the day time, with
Newark's famous musical organiza-
ton, the Buckeye band. He saved
his money and in the year of 1896
he went into a little farm implement
agency in rear of the Great Western
store south side square and two years
later in 1898 he was solicited by
Leroy Tenney to enter with him into
the wool and grain business.
3. Why was this boy able to go
into business in two years? Because
of his good judgment, honorable deal
ing, saving and upright, manly, habits
and honesty. Still holding on to his
music and membership in organized
labor, he was elected by the musi-
clans, not only their local presiding
officer many terms, but was selected
as their representative in the central
labor body of this city. An organiza-
tion composed of delegates of all of
the labor unions affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor,
known as the Newark Trades and
Labor Assembly.
A. He was elected president short
ly after he took his seat as dele
gate and is still on the job as a
Representative of the musicians
union, of which organization he is
also president. He is the guiding
hand of one of the best parliamentary
bodies in the city today, and one of
the hardest organizations to control,
being made up of all creeds and
political beliefs, extremists, hberalists
and conservative members, with but
one thought in their minds, and that
for their betterment and the protec-
tion of their principles and the well
fare of our city.
S. And last, he was labor's repre-
sentative in the old board of trade
by special invitation of the business
men friendly to labor, and is one of
the hardest workers for the better
ment of Newark all the time.
| Should this bar him from repre-
senting his union in the central body :?
| Our assembly says no.
| Would that we had many more

BOTTLE co. SHORT OF SODA ASH

On account of the freight embargo
on the B. & O. railway, it is impossible
for the American Bottle Co. to get
their shipments Of soda ash through
to Newark, and as a consequence a
large proportion of the employees of
this mammoth plant were temporarily
laid off.

to unite with them and participate
in the glorious movement with its
attendant benefits.

lecture on "Organized Labor. Your

graphical Union is doing for the
members of the same. However there
will be matters of interest to every
member Of Union labor.
The speaker himself has worked at
bench and knows something OF the
problems which confront the working
man and is in hearty sympathy with
Union labor. And while not now a
member of Union is eligible to the
same in one of the crafts not now
represented in Newark.
Again, Mr.. President, the under
