LABEL LEAGUE
HAS ENJOYABLE TIME AT
LAST REGULAR MEETING

About 20 members OF the Women's

last meeting. Thursday night OF last
week. AT which additions were made
to the membership roll and plans we're
made Tor the pushing Of the label
II Is planned 70 make a canvass Of

tire view OF obtaining 8 list OF stores
that keep In stock lire OF union.
made goods, and the members Of the
league and orgaaised labor in general
will be asked to patronize these firms
II Is also planned TO prosecute Wig
orous campaign for the patronage Of
the label. which can nov 30 found
on almost everything needed ia the
home. from the daily kept newspa
per on up 10 the tabor press: from
shoe strings to full set Of rags:
from matches 10 chinaniers; frAn
can-openers to furnaces; from but.
terettes to easseroles. from pots 70
pans. from brassieres TO camisoles !;
from wheelbarrows to automobiles;
from snnff to cigars: from mats 10
rugs: and. in fact. from a 10 lizard
II has been said that indifference
is the cause Of much of the troubles
of the union worker; that after he
has produced an article bearing the
union label he win deliberately buy
an article of the same kind that does
not bear the label. or will not patron
ize the labels Of other trades.
The object OF the Women's Label
League Is TO create demand for the
label. and this object should be con-
CURED In by every worker in the Twin
Cities
After short business session. the
meeting adjourned into social
hour" Various games were played,
including post Office" chew the
string" ard game which the editor
is unable to classify. In which the
participants became acquainted with
the king and queen. Of some place or
other. Anyway, these exalted rulers
of myth were there In person, but,
owing to their extreme haughtiness,
but few were able to break into their
society. Great game, this--it should
be played at all social gatherings.
Then, the audience was treated to a
sight they will never see again.
An old-time spelling match was
conducted according to Hoyle. Hoyle
himself failed to put in an appearance
so a member OF the League took the
reins in hand, and after a stiff com
petition, sides we're chosen and the
contest began. After spelling most

Won't Pay the Bill

fused to pay $1,000, the appropria-
ton asked for President Wilson's
second Industrial conference when
the item vas stricken out OF the gen
eral deficiency bin on a point Of
order By Representative Blanton,
Democrat. Texas. The measure had
previously been attacked BY Repre-
sentative Walsh, Republican, Of Mas

had come for the government TO stop
spending money TO end industrial IN
rest when "a lot Of cranks .obsessed
with their own importance" start
more of it By their talk.
Twelve thousand dollars would be
fair sum to pay for such confer
ence even If 1t had done enough to
make it worth while. II has not been
sehown that industrial conditions have
been materially improved or that
plans have been submitted which
give any guarantees Of improvement
il they be followed.
The first conference came to most
unt.mely end because it emphasized
the very thing which IL the exact con-
trary Of American principles namely,
conflicting class interests. The Sec
ond conference has worked more
quietly and without the spotlight of
publicity. but labor men served
notice at the start they would not
consider themselves bound in any
way by anything the conference
might plan or recommend, because
they had no representation and no
VOICE in the matter. The seventeen
men composing the conference board
have 20 official standing and no au-
thority to enforce their recommended
tons. Neither has anybody else.
Hence, whatever the conference may

Governor MiIIiken. recently having
his attention called 20 the fact tna'
the government has enormous guam

ing the war and being indispensable
in the manufacture Of war munitions.
began looking into the matter OF It's
| release and final disposition into the
hands Of the agriculturalist, who
need il for their fertilizers. with a
view OF at least partially helping the
situation for the Maine farmers
He therefore communicated with
or Maine congressman and senators
On that subject, asking them to in
vestigate and urge the Department
Of Agriculture 20 take the matter up
| with the War Department for the
same purpose. The Governor has
heard from each OF our representa-
it:on IL Congress and each approved
Of the suggestion. promising him
f; their every eiTorr TO the desired end.
One OF the congressman writes
that he had seen Chairman Graham

ton Of the War Department and
| learned that the committee will prob
ably in very short time report &
resolution calling upon the secretary

Farmers Union Shows
Surplus of 81 Lac

Readfield, Me-, Feb. Cat the an.
nual stockholders meeting held YES
terday in the Grange hall, the
manager and auditor Of the Mariana
cook Farmer Union gave a most fay
orable report of this cooperative en-
terprlse Of Readfield and Mt. Vernon
FARMERS. This meeting is the first
TO be scheduled for the winter sea :
son since the corporation began
business flve years ago. The change
from the busy month of June was a
wise one and resulted in double the
usual attendance. For the first time
IN the history Of the concern. an
audited balance sheet was submitted
to t. stockholders, showing re-
sources and liabilities, sources of
losses and gains, and revealing a
surplus OF 80 1-3 per cent or $500 per
share premium on par value Of SO.
Inls report was certified and based
on a conservative estimate Of assets.
The reports were opened to floor
discussion and the results Of the last
two years and five months of trading
as duly incorporated body were
discussed freely. The discussion re-
suited In establishing the enterprise
more firmly among its supporters
and practically every man preseat
subscribed for an increase holding of
shares
Some figures from tile balance
sheet might be Of interest. The
whole enterprise is carried on in an
attempt to combat the high cost Of
supplies. especially in grain and gro
Gerry lines. The total sales for the
year We're: Grain $I6,410; grocery
81. 1855; total $24,17600. As the mana
ger remarked full half Of his sales
are made TO- other than stockholders,
who have learned that the Union is
offering low prices and high quality.
and is the chief agency in this vi
cinity in keeping prices to q reason
able level.
At the close Of the regular meeting
two speakers of prominence in
Farmers Union work addressed the
members on matters Of special inter-
est along these lines. President
Stetson Of the Farmers' Union Grain
and Supply company was the first
speaker and took for his theme the
proper capitalization Of cooperative
agencies in Maine. Treasurer Aus
tin Of Waterville. who is manager Of
the Farmers Union Grain and Sup
ply Co., spoke briefly on the value of
properly audited accounts in any or
ganization run for mutual benefit.
After these speeches. directors
were elected for the year 1920. and
the melting adjournd.
A. G. Russell. a former teacher OF
Kent's Hill Seminary. was elected
president. and g. G. Clarke. head Of
the commercial department, was re-
tanned as auditor by the directors.
