Butter! Did you ever hear Of start
ing life with nothing but?
That is the way United States Sena-
tor Gilbert NJ. Hitchcock started.
1t was not by eating butter but By
going without 1t that he got the start.
He says;
MY father told me that II | would
go without butter for a year. he would
give me a calf.
why a calf? | suppose it vas be-
cause the young bovine animal nor
mally consumes, when fed on It's
mothers milk, a lot OF cream which
might otherwise become butter. Ae-
cordingly, ii l saved : years butter L
might be deemed entitled to a calf.
Anyway, I went BUTTERFLIES. and I
got the calf.
"A calf was OF no use 10 me, SO I
sold it and with the money bought a
few hens and a rooster. building up =
small trade in eggs and chickens.
which l sold to my own family and to
the neighbors.
MY grandfather encouraged me to
earn money, and save it. II thers
had been Thrift Stamps and War Saw
ings Stamps in those days, he would
certainly have urged mi to buy them,
As II was, he acted az my banker, and
added a dollar for every one saved,
allowing me good interest or both.
Later on. I got a job with my father
and by the time | was 10 | had &C.
cumulated several hundred dollan.
With this | paid my way through the
law school. On graduation had used
up about all OF my money, but Il was
well spent. The legal education thai
| obtained was the most valuable part
Of my training for the business OF life.
II | had not saved, | could not have
gone to the law school. Ny savings
gave me that opportunity, and enabled
me TO follow my bent"

MOONEY
STRIKE
Turned Down BY A. F. Of L.
Committee To Aid In Set
tlement of Toledo Strike.

Organized labor took a decided
stand against the proposed nation
wide Mooney strike when the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, in coaven-
tion in Atlantic City, adopted re-
solution to this effect Tuesday.
Following sharp debate during
which several of the delegates almost
came to blows, resolution was adopt
ed refusing to indorse the general
strike called for July a as protest
against the Imprisonment of Thomas
Mooney, and censuring the Mooney
Defense Committee for its alleged eff
forts to disrupt the American Feder-
alton Of Labor.
The resolution, however, directed
the Executive COUNSEL of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor to "exert
every effort to bring about new trial
for Mooney through recognized pro-
cesses".
Refusal to indorse the proposed
strike was based on the assertion of
labor leaders that such action would
prove prejudicial to Moneys inter
ests.
During the debate precipitated by
the resolution, delegates who urged
radical action on Moneys behalf
were hooted and greeted with cries of
put him out"
Charges were made that the Mooney
Defense Comittee had used funds con-
tributed by organized labor for the
purpose of attacking the American
Federation of Labor and bringing a.
bout it's destruction. It also was
charged that funds collected to help
pay the expenses of delegates to the
recent Mooney convention in Chicago
were used to pay salaries of workers
for the Mooney Defense Comittee.
A committee was appointed tog to
Toledo at once to confer with officials
of the Willys-Overland Company in
an effort to settle the strike there
James j. Walsh, Federal Concilla-
tor, who has been interceding in the
Toledo controversy, expressed opin-
ion the strike would be settled by the
end If the week. He made this state
ment after conferring with labor lea
ders here prior to the appointment of
the committee.
