SINCE

Coming to Audubon three years ago, there
have been many changes, merchants have come

disc is guaranteed. You cannot go wrong
here on quality, you cannot go wrong ON prices
as we know, and so do our customers, that our

icle you buy here.
This is only mid-winter, but we have been
to the eastern market, made our spring and
summer purchases and personally selected ev-
cry garment and piece of goods to be brought
here, Manufacturers in the east know that we
do not accept any goods unless the quality is
such as we want. We won't attempt to pawn
off lot of poor merchandise on anybody. Ev-
erything we sell is guaranteed and we make
sure in advance that quality is the best, so that

SATURDAY, DEC. 4, 1920.
T H E To1LE R

When Sam dies-of course, long, long after
he is dead, we may hear of the snug little fortune
Sam saved up, after paying all expenses. For
Sans friends are rich men-the biggest men in
the country-and big men know how to handle
fellows like Mitchell and Gompers They will cod
die them and flatter them and bribe them as long
as they NEED THEM and then they will KICK
THEM OUT! But unfortunately for labor, THEY
DO NOT KICK THEM OUT SOON ENOUGH.
Just Part Of The Game
And now our good friend Robert Brindell stirs
up mess, just because he went little too far
He too, was labor 'leader' one of the better
sort. He actually ran the whole building industry
ordering the men and the bosses about. The
bosses paid him graft-the men did the same 1t
is hard to say which paid him the most. Both par
ties loved Bob and tried to outdo the other in
generosity towards him. 900 was nothing for
Bob to take to arrange" job to suit the bosses,
or as his price for calling off strike $40 a
week Bob thought just right for ordering the
builders about; and then he received 81 year
from each Of the 10000 men organized in His"
union.
Yes, it was truly "TIlS" union Bob ran it for
all it was worth. He was the friend of govern
ors, mayors and big business men. He and law
yer dictated what should and should not be done.
And their word-that is HIS word, for he had the
final say-was LAW
It went along very pleasantly, everybody was
satisfied, even the workers who were bled, week
in and week out, and the bosses some of whom
were even ruined. Well, what would you do about
it? Things were that way, and that was all there
was to it. Workers have got used to expecting
their LEADERS" to be grafters-just as they ex-
pect il of all politicians, 1t simply is part of the
game.
Bob is said to own S1,OOOOOO They are going
to try him for graft Capitalist papers are taking
keen advantage of his case in order to fight or
ganized labor. The capitalist think they now have

An Endless Line Of Fakirs.

One could 60 on endlessy, telling how Lewis,
the mine leader, fell down and betrayed the work
ers, becaues President Wilson waved the flag,
and Lewis declared he was 1000 patriot and
could not, would not, fight when his president
ordred him not to! One could tell of Berry Of the
Typographical Union, who sold out the printers,
who were just about to close agreements with the
bosses, giving them higher wages and shorter
hours, when Berry stepped in and stopped it.
One could tell about the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
strike, when the leaders refused to call out all the
men, which would have assured victory-re-
fused because the PUBLIC" might suffer!
But why 60 on? It is the same story from be-
ginnin to end LABOR LEADERS ARE LABOR
BETRAYERS! 1t is high time for workers to
learn this fact 1t is time for them to understand
that any man who leaves the ranks of labor to be-
come leader, who has no touch with work any
longer who is given high salary that makes him
forget the position Of the workers, is very, very
likely to betray the workers in crisis.
Do not think it is different anywhere else Look
at England, France, Germany. 1t is the leaders
who always back down and refuse to fight. They
are always for compromising always for giving
in-until driven by the rank and file, which does
the work and does the suffering
