WORLD CLAD IN
SHODDY
While StorehOuses Burst
With Virgin Wool

Chicago world wears shoddy
wool, while storehouses are bursting
with virgin wool, according to figures
compiled by the national sheep and
wool bureau of America. There are
more than 265,oOO,OOO pounds Of
virgin wool in the worlds storehouses
and this years clip win increase these
holdings.
In spite of the high price of wool
fabrics, American storehouses con-
tanned 700,000,000 pounds of virgin
wool last September, 10 months after
the signing of the armistice, OF 100,-
600, 900 pounds more than the coun-
rty's annual consumption.
The sheep and wool bureau is at
tempting to secure the passage of
'truth-in-fabric' bill, now pending in
congress. The bill is designed to com
pei manufacturers to stamp wool"
cloth with the percentage Of shoddy
or cotton used in its manufacture.
Shoddy is made from wooden rags.
"The reason huge stocks of virgin
wool are now lying in storehouses
unmanufactured, said Secretary
Greene, Of the sheep and wool bureau,
is that the use Of unidentified shoddy
enables manufacturers to make more
money
The purchaser buys his all wool
clothing without knowing that he is
getting old rags respun, and pays vir
Gin wool prices.
Manufacturers should be eompell-
ed to come out in the open and tell
what their goods are made Of Then
people who want virgin wool and
are willing to pay for virgin wool
can get honest cloth, and goods made
Of shoddy will take its rightful place
and price and can no longer masquer-
ade as virgin wool, if the 'truth-in-fab
rc bill is passed by congress

now erecting many homes, told his men
that it is likely that his firm will not
carry out the extensive building pro
gram it had contemplated for this
city
This will be a big disappointment
to the many homeseekers in Hamilton,
and the news that the building asso-
Citations contemplate increasing the
interest rates on money for home
building purposes will come as great
surprise to the Hamilton citizens who
were induced to place their money in
the various associations for this pur-
pose. They believed that all this
money would be available for home
building at the old rate of six per
cent interest.

Indianapolis The United Mine
Workers Journal protests against the
Black Diamond. a leading coal trade
publication, calling on the miners to
Dip coal This publication blames
the coal miners for present conditions
and the labor publication says
I'VE have been wondering just how
the Black Diamond, would feel if it
were to take notion to be honest
with its readers in matters dealing
with the coal miners The Black Dia-
mond is 50 vigorously hidebound in its
opposition to everything that would be
fair to the miners that it apparently
Is unable to see the truth
"The Black Diamond knows that the
coal miners of this country are idle
because there is no work for them to
do. They are not idle because they
wish to loaf
"They do not want to loaf They
want to work. They are willing to
work. They are anxious to work, but
the mines are not in operation When
the mines do not operate the miners
cannot work The mines are idle.
That is not the fault of the miners.
If the operators will keep their mines
in operation the miners will dig all the
coal that anyone could possibly ask
for
"AIl the operators need to do to
make sure of an ample coal production
is to operate their mines and give the
miners chance to work"

BUILDING PROGRAM
TO SLOW DOWN
Due, 1t is Said, To Increased
Interest Rates on Money

1t is rumored that the building pro
gram which had such fourishing start
in Hamilton may slow down. This, 50
it is said, is due to increased interest
rates for money borrowed. 1t is said
that two of the local building associa-
tions already demand seven per cent
interest on the money they loan and
that the rate may go to eight cents.
If this is true. it will be great blow
to the home building program inaug
urated in Hamilton.

LEHMKUHL One
OF COMMITTEE
At National Convention To
Prepare Resolutions on
Death of Mrs.
GOmpers

j. Edward Lehmkuhl, who returned
last week from Pittsburg, where he
attended the twenty-ffth annual con
vention of the American Federatio /
Of Musicians, reports that the conyen-
tion was the greatest ever held by
the organization Over five hundred
delegates attended from all parts of
the United States and Canada. Mr..
Lehmkuhl was signally honored by
appointment by National President
Weber on the committee to draft res
olutions on the death of Mrs Com
pers, wife of Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor, The committee reported the
following resolutions, which were
adopted by silent rising vote, the con
vention remaining standing for thirty
seconds:
Whereas, The Father Supreme in
His wisdom, has called to rest Mrs.
Samuel Gompers; and,
Whereas, Mr.. Samuel Gompers, for
more than generation has been
president of the American Federation
Of Labor, devoting constant and IN
creasing vigorous attention, labor and
effort to the uplift of humanity and
as such very highly esteemed and
respected brother; and,
Whereas, In the passing of Mrs.
Gompers, a loving wife, and a faithful
and true companion through many
years of success, failure, adversely,
encouragement, clouds and sunshine,
he has suffered an irreparable loss
With the thought that there is no hu-
man balm for wounds so deep, nor
loss so great, yet in time like this it
should be a consolation to him to
know that there are those whose sym
pathy for him in his hour Of bereave-
ment is deep, sincere and true, and
who would most gladly share his sor-
row;
Therefore, Be it resolved
That this Twenty-ffth Annual Con-
vention Of the American Federation
Of Musicians, now assembled, extend
to Mr.. Samuel Gompers, its deepest
and most sincere heartfelt sympathy
for the lamentable loss of his dearly
beloved wife, having full confidence
that the Father Supreme will keep
her in safety to the end Of that jour
ney where we shall all meet forever
more in a life Of beauty and sun
shine, and Of richest harmonies, which
never can have the tinge Of sorrow,
but groweth brighter through all
eternity
May the precious memories Of her
appease the longing for touch Of
a vanished hand and the sound Of a
voice that is still.
Bowing to His will, we offer sol
emn and silent prayer.
May her soul rest in peace.
Be it further resolved, That copy
Of this resolution, suitably transcrib-
ed, be delivered to Mr.. Samuel Com
pers and that a copy thereof be spread
on the minutes Of this convention.

Women Have Big Part in

Nineteen Are Members of Com

Women will play a larger part than

Convention at Chicago in June. Nine
teen women are members of the COM
mittee on platform and policies, ap-
pointed by Chairman Hays, and there
will be women delegates from at least
ten states.
These figures were made public yes
terday by Miss Mary Garret Hay,
chairman of the Women's Executive
Committee of the Republican National
Committee. Miss Hay will 60 to Chi
cago to attend the meeting of the
Republican National Committee on May
8, when final arrangements will be made
for the convention.
"The best record of any state is Mis-
souri,, where twelve women have been
elected delegates or alternates," Miss
Hay said, "Kansas and Minnesota are
almost as good. New York, which has
etighty-eight delegates, is sending only
two women"
The two from New York are Miss
Helen Varick Boswell, delegate. and
Mrs. Harriet L. Livermore, aternate.at

There will be two delegates large
