Wool and WatermeIons.

When the price of "a Chicago wa
termelen will buy five pounds of wool
| in Kansas" there must be something
wrong, someplace. Either the water
melon is too high or wool is too low.
Everyone is wondering what hap
pened to the wool market and no one
ceded, however that one reason for
existing conditions is "shoddy."
Shoddy is simply re-worked wool.
When We wear out a wooden suit and
sell it to the junk man, the wool in it
is re-spun with small amount of new
wool and woven into cloth from
which another "all-wool" suit is made
to be re-sold to us. This process may
be repeated seven or eight times
| and we wonder why our trousers bag
at the knees.
The use of shoddy by clothing man
ufacturers immensely decreases the
demand for virgin wool. Under pres
ent laws manufacturers and dealers
can sell clothing made from shoddy
as strictly all-wool goods, which it is,
and are not required to state that it
is shoddy. So we buy secondhand
ClOlhCS at pliSCS VI uCW SOOuS, anu
while they may be truly all-wool as
represented they are disappointing in
the service they give.
Some people are hoping that the
wool market will not come back, be-
lieving that low wool prices will mean
low clothing prices, but as matter
of fact the wool used in making a
suit has very little to do with the
price of the suit. Eight to ten pounds
of wool that will sell at present
prices at s4.00 to $500 will make a
suit that will cost around s1O0, leav-
ing margin of s94 to 500 for trim
ming, making and profits. The mar
gin looks too great to a man who
sells wool or buys clothes.

Chicago, July 16.-The labor group
was dominating when the new fusion

tion for nomination Of candidates
After the convention had adopted the
name OF the Farmer-Labor party the
rest OF the time was spent in nomina.

There was no nomination on the
first ballot. The resllt of the first
ballot: Total vote, 1888. Malone

The convention then voted to dro,
all candidates except Malone and
Christensen. and proceeded with the
voting on the second ballot.
1t was announced that Jane Adams
had informed the convention by tele.
phone that she would not accent and
her name was withdrawn.

OBJECTIONS. from the ranks of the
new party began when II was shown
that the minority report would be
overwhelmingly defeated. James Fer.
guson. former governor OF Texas.
was the first to openly pull out of
the meeting. He was followed by del
egates from several states, none OF
whom was identified with the Labor
party
A near-stampede developed when
an attempt was made to forestall in
PRODUCTION OF the majority platform
by the submission to the convention
OF report that was reputed to be ac-
ceptable to Sentaor Robert NJ. LaFol,
lette. The senator's friends declare
the convention was "boss.ridden and
clfque-controlled" and that the SEN
ator's own platform ideas had been
buried in secret committee meeting
The storm broke with all the fury
of a riot. and LaFollette delegates
were quick to seize the psychological
moment to spring their presidential
boom. A big photograph Of the sena-
tor, flag-draped. and huge red BAN
ner inscribed with his name were
swung before the convention and the
demonstration was on. II lasted about
three-quarters Of an hour.
Then move was made to read the
senator's platform. but It was blocked
by the decision of the chairman that
the majority report OF the committee
on resolutions was before the convrn-
tion and must be dealt with first. The
IaFollette platform was nerer
brought up again.

RECLASS|F|CAT|ON
DEBATES PLANNED
'Guve[nment Employees Aim to
Clarity Feature of
System.

Debates on Redistribution bid fair
to give the government departments
here a chautauqua system of their own
this summer, if plans proposed to the
joint conference on Redistribution
are put into effect.
Government employees would debate
for the edification and instruction OF
their fellow employees the pros and
cons of Reconsideration legislation, &C
cording to the plan.
The scientific nomenclature of re-
classification, as it was worked out in
the report of the joint congressional
commission on Redistribution in the
District, would furnish the material
for strenuous argument.
No Debaters for Negative.
"That Redistribution is an immediate
necessity for the government service IN
the National Capital" might be the prop
osition for debate. but 1t is feared that
practically all would-be debaters would
bid for the affirmative side, and that
the negative would seek in vain for sup
port.
Reconsideration is a question on which
all are agreed. as to the fundamentals,
but a host of questions still bother gov
eminent workers here in connection
with the Redistribution issue 1t Is to
clarity THESE issues that the JOlnJS con-
ference on Redistribution has been
formed.
1t is pointed out that although mass
of information has been made available,
through the press and the report of the
Reconsideration commission itself. there
are still many employees of the govern
ment who seem to know little about re-
classification.
Bring MISS Opinion.
Debates would result in definite
mass opinion on the part of the ap-
proximately 10000 to 100000 federal
workers here as to the Redistribution
report and the bill presented to Con-
gress Herewith, and would enable the
joint conference on reclassification
to present to Congress at the next
session the united appeal of the en-
ployes.
AS the situation now stands, some
employees seem to want one thing. an
other group may think they have been
Disseminated against, and still an
other group may believe that this or
that feature of Redistribution is
wrong.

Second Word Received by

YOUNGSTOWN, Pa, June 10.-Hope
of getting into communication with

dated June Z. The writing is identi-
cal with that of a letter received
from Savannah four days ago.
No attempt is made to disguise the
handwriting in either letter. The
spelling and punctuation indicate the
writer has deliberately feigned igno-
rance.
AS in the first letter, no attempt Is
made to establish the identity Of the
child. The writer merely says he has
Blakely and the baby is well. The
letter follows:
when you are convinced about the
right party having your child then
will deal with you. IL it is not too
late. The child is well at present.
Il can hear your wife sobbing. She
has my sympathy. But I am into il
