COMPARISON WEEK

Beginning last Friday and contin-
uing up to today was designated
Comparison Week" by our local
merchants. The object and purpose
was to show a comparison between
the prices of last year at this time
and what they are today. Many in
teresting window displays were to be
seen in the city during the past week.
We often hear it said that the mer-
chants do not lower the costs in pro-
portion to what they are made by
wholesalers and that in this manner
they are profiteering. After seeing
the displays made by the local mer-
chants and knowing from experience
and personal knowledge what the
nrices have been and what they are
today, there certainly should not be
any doubt as to the fairness of our
merchants to the local buying public.
And after noting the comparisons OF
last years prices and this years as
made by our merchants, we wonder
how the local buying public can fall
for the advertisements of the big
stores of neighboring cities whose
prices in the main are not to be con-
sidered with those of our own stores.
And when you buy at home you know
who you are dealing with. You know
that if what you purchase is not just
right the local merchant gladly makes
it right. This is more than can be
said of the outside merchant. So why
not leave your money in the city
where you earn it.

RETAIL CLERKS

Retail Clerks Union, Local No. 119,
met in regular session Monday even
ing with a fair attendance. In the
absence of President James Welsh,
Henry Suedkamp presided. Henry is
one of the old timers in the big chair
and was perfectly at home in the po-
sition Monday evening. He presided
in his old inimitable manner. Quite
a volume of business was transacted
at the meeting Orville Biddinger,
who had taken out withdrawal card
in February, 1917, presented hmself
for reinstatement, and was joyfully
received and welcomed back to the
fold Brother Biddinger is now en-
ployed with the Fit-Rite shoe store.
A matter which brought forth
lengthy and serious discussion was
that of the members who are delin-
quent in their dues. 1t means that if
they are suspended the card will be
taken from the store in which they
are employed, and if the store con-
tinues their employment organized
labor will be informed that that par
ticular store employs men and wo-

HOWAT FOUND GUILTY

Columbus, Kan.-Alexande Howat,
president of the Kansas district, Unit
ed Mine Workers, together with Vice
President Dorchy, have been found
guilty of violating the Allen "can't-
strike" law The court gave the jury
both felony and misdemeanor
charge. They were found guilty of
misdemeanor charge. They were
found guilty of misdemeanor and
were released on bond pending appeal.
The unionists give no indication Of
accepting the law, and they are back
ed by the organized trade union
movement of this state. The workers
determination has created a condition
for Governor Allen and his support
ers similar to the man fighting the
bear.
In commenting on his conviction,
President Howat said: 81 am guilty
of felony or guilty of nothing. 1t was
the judges instructions that did it."

PLEASANT AVENUE

The street car tracks are being
moved to the center of the roadway
and Pleasant avenue is being paved.
All the people living along this road
way and in Lindenwald are rejoic-
ing. The whole city is glad that this
long dreamed of improvement is about
to be realized. One councilman voted
against making the improvement and
the Press offered it's columns last
week that he might explain his action
and give his reasons for opposing it..
To date we have not heard from him,
and after many inquiries we want to
say that we have not met with sin
gle person who agrees with him in
his stand in the matter.

GOMPERS' RELIGION

Speaking of the reelection of Sam
uel Gompers to the presidency of the
American Federation of Labor, the
Cincinnati Post says:
"In Cincinnati few weeks ago for
an important conference, Samuel
Gompers reflected in his manner the
bristling determination that has
marked him always. No one was 60
ing to crowd him out without fight
and he let the world know it. At
Denver he met expected opposition
and conquered it. Re-electing him to
the presidency of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, his followers paid
tribute to his greatness as a leader.
Gompers' greatness lies in one
religion.
His religion is labor.

SITTING AROUND THE TABLE

The final action of moving the
street car rails to the center of Pleas
ant avenue and the paving of that
thoroughfare is a concrete example
of what can be done when the oppos
ing forces or separate parties will
gather around the table and talk it
over. 1t looked for time as though
the road was to be paved without the
moving Of the rails to the center and
that the improvement long desired
and which means such a long step
forward for the city, was not to be
realized. Then committee was nam
ed to take up the matter. The COM
mittee was made up of representa-
tives from the chamber of commerce,
Trades Council and city council. Thus
was represented capital, labor and the
public. This committee met with
representatives of the street railway
company. Thus all parties directly
concerned were represented. The rep
resentatives as a whole sat around
a table and discussed the situation
Result-improveme to be made and
satisfactory to all concerned. Every
body happy.
And so all things could be settled
satisfactory, especially do we refer
to the differences arising between
employer and employe. How easy it
would be to settle these differences if
the parties concerned would sit
around a table and thoroughly discuss
them.

THE NATIONS REAL ENEMIES

Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the
Lockwood committee, has developed
some astonishing and important in
formation affecting the conduct of
certain large insurance and banking
concerns, principally to the effect
that they have been robbing the pub
lie by resort to the despicable methods
of the loan shark and note-shaver
HIS most important contribution,
however, has been to reveal the state
of mind of large business interests
toward the public 1t may be briefly
described as utter defiance of the law
and cynical contempt for what decent
people may think of them
When rich men arrive at point
where they feel that their affairs are
sacred from the prying fingers of
those who represent the public it is
time to call a halt and take serious
stock of ourselves.
That such was the attitude of the
president of the Prudential Life In
surance Company he took little pains
to conceal Four times he placed him.
self in contempt and consistently
showed by his attitude that he could
see no reason for explaining or justi-
flying the financial policies of his COM
pany. His bearing before the commit
tee was pompous and arrogant, and
he made it entirely clear that so far
as he was concerned the public might
be damned and welcome to it.
1t was in evidence that insurance
companies have deliberately violated
laws enacted fifteen years ago when
Charles E. Hughes developed shock
ing conditions in their management.
They are holding on to speculative
stocks forbidden by statute, and it is
more than coincidence that these
stocks are Of companies in which in
surance officials hold directorates.
This nation faces no menace as
grave as the criminality of it's lawless
men of wealth. They prate inces-
sanity of their 100 per cent Ameri-
canism while they are doing what
they can to undermine the govern
ment and bring it's institutions into
disrepute.
If the public is unable to secure
protection from the rascality that Mr..
Untermyer is bringing to the surface,

And whatever else may be said of
him, he has been true to his religion.
His experience has given him not
only great prestige, but great exec
utive and political ability, ability he
could have capitalized at any time in
the past quarter century for such
sums as few men earn Other leaders
of labor, with less opportunity, have
retired from the field of labor organ
izations to take the financial reward
that Gompers steadily has refused.
None of them appreciates the pleas
urable things of life more than Com
pers, but religion has held him to his
job.
1t has been a fighting religion, a
Cromwellian creed, and Gompers has
never shrunk from battle.
He has led the crusade of toilers
up out of the darkness in which labor
was seen as a commodity, purchas-
able like pig iron, into the light
wherein labor's right to live comfort
ably is recognized as the primary
clauses in any contract.
