 Following few introductory re- marks by E. B. Bloom, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, Sam B. Russell was elected chairman of the meeting. Representative Frank Thompson of this county was present at the meeting, and was asked for an expression by the chairman. MT. Thompson would express no view, but stated he was there for the purpose of hearing the views of the merchants of Pine Bluff in order that he might more fully determine the sentiment here.
 Expressions from business men representing various businesses and industries were then called by Chair man Russell. Louis Froug, the first man called upon, was brief in his re. marks. He said,
 of the bill passes, I don't see how l can remain in business; it is i'm possible to explain to the consumer the cost of doing business" o. F. Tedstrom said If it passes, my business will close down." l Expressions similar to these were were made by several other mer chants representative of differenet kinds of business.
 After expressions had been heard regarding opinions of the bills, the chairman asked for expressions re. garding the action to be taken by ths comittee. It was decided to send a committee to Little Rock to appea before the senate committee las: night. Volunteers were called for and about 20 men were quickly enlisted as members of committee. E. B. Bloom was selected as spokesman He brought forth cheers when in the course of a brief talk, he said, "i1 we had representative to offer ar amendment to include organized labor in the bill, you'd find every labor un. ion in the state of Arkansas fighting the bill. You ought to fight it, ano you ought to keep on fighting it." he l lcOncluded.

(Continl1ed from Page One.) troopers, called into the county by the sheriff.
 operating executives of the corpora tions involved, were straining every nerve to check spread of the strike.
 The prese1A; phase of the conflict is regarded by both sides as a critical period. The first rush and excite ment of the initiation of the strike is over. Reports indicate that there has not been a great movement of men into or out of the plants in the Pittsburgh district since the first big walkout and each side is guarding against a stampede. The various large plants and smaller concerns are crippled in varying degrees, accord ing to reports, and managers res ponsible for the operation of steel mills are in some cases not only try ing to hold what they have but are trying to get on the offensive.
 The leaders of the strikers are not giving up the attack, but predict that with the coming of more organizers, they will gradually shut down all the important works. Secretary William F. Foster said today that Unexpected the great Homestead plant of the Car negie Steel company, would be shut down by the end of the week.
 Secretary Foster announced today that 342,000 men in the industry are on strike and that the situation was well in hand.

KEEP LIBERTY BONDS
More Should Be Purchased at
Present Market Quotations.
Financial Experts BELIEVE Every
Issue Will Be Above Par. Within
Few Years.

Paralleling the treasury depart
ment's effort to bring about wider
realization Of the value of investment
In war savings stamps and treasury
savings certificates, a call has been
sounded urging the public to make the
most of the markets investment op-
portunities by purchasing Liberty
bonds at their present quotations. 1t
is pointed out that 1t is Just as patri-
otto today to buy Liberty bonds 1t
"a, IS or So as it was to buy them at
100. while on the other hand, 1t makes
the investment just that much better
for the man who buys. For instance,
a AZ per cent Liberty Bond, II bought
at 81 for example, yields ASP per cent.
1t is pointed out also that the fall In
value which has taken place in some
Liberty bond issues Is al excellent
reason why those who own the bonds
should hold them now, rather than sur
render them at a loss. In purchasing
the bond, the buyer tacitly agreed to
let the government have the money for
10 or 20 years, or whatever the term
was. He gets less for the bond, II
sold now, because he does not abide
by the implied terms Of the agreement.
He wants his money back now instead
Of waiting the period of years stated
on the bond he bought.
Every bond will be worth par at
maturity and long before that time
in the opinion of leading bankers.
Financial experts are of the belief
| that every issue Of Liberty bonds will
go above par within a few years. As
capital piles up again and interest
rates drop, the rates borne by the Lib
erty issues will seem CORRESPONDENCE
large and the value of the principal as
invested, the bond itself. will be cor
respondingly greater.
In spite of repeated warnings. Lib.
erty Bond owners still continue to lis

A Few Particularly Attractive Items

derstood, had really driven the truck very little, if at all One of them, he said, was working in Norwich. and the other was lax in attending to duty and Alderman Johnson said he could not see where it was fair to pay full salaries for work not done.
 Alderman Lapalme was instantly on his feet and said he heartily agreed with Alderman Johnson. He said he had further information to the effect that other members of the depart ment were not answering alarms and he asked the reason for this situation.
 Chief Alphonse Boursier, who had O. K d the bill, attempted to make an explanation despite interruption. He claimed he had to take the word of each foreman that all the men were present after alarms had been sent in and as, he said, he did not know each member of the department individu- ally because of frequent changing that had taken place, he could only rely on the information handed him.
 Whereupon there came an ava lanche of kicks complaints, bouquets and hectic explanations.
