work on the same lot with employees of Louis
Van Dorp. Their wages and hours were agree
able. They wanted to dictate to me to whom
l let my sub-contracts, but contend that l and
my clients have some rights.
Another incident: Some months ago I was
on hurry-up job where laboring men were
waiting for the completion of a part of the job
so they could work. The union could not fur
nish me enough men, An excellent carpenter
whom had employed at Camp Funston wanted
job, and needed one He did not believe in
unions, and would not join. l offered to pay
him the union scale and make him conform to
union hours of work. The union said, in the
face of a contract the union had signed giving
me the right to hire non-union men when they
couldn't furnish sufficient men: you'll either
fire him or we'll strike" Is that right?
l freely accord to laboring men the right to
join union. But also accord laboring
the right to not join union. Both are free
born American citizens, and neither should be
denied the right to work, either because he does
or does not believe in unions.
AS far as I am concerned, and l believe all
the other employers in Topeka agree, that is all
the "open shop means. We don't want to
quarrel with the unions. We will continue to
employ them, and to make contracts with them.
We will pay fair wages and afford decent hours.
But we insist upon the right to give good
workman employment, if we need him and he
needs the work, even if he doesn't want to join
a union. That's his business.
The unions do some harm, to their own men,
to employers and to the public. Their system
of discouraging a man to do more work in eight
hours than they say, is wrong. 1t penalties
thrift and industry, and rewards shiftlessness
and Stacking. It takes ambition away from the
worker. But, if the man wants to make himself
a drone, that again may be his own bust
ness This evil should be corrected within the
union, and no union man has been discharged
on this account
I think have the same right as union man,
the right to run my own business, and to let my
sub-contracts where l please, and the right to
discharge man for cause without asking any
eouy. gave up anat n nan ooo curing tne war,
their rights. 1 intend however, to exercise
that right from now on
If this does not make my position clear, will
appear before any committee appointed by any
civic body and answer any questions put.

Police Thompson to his former posi-

many comments this week, has been
very satisfactory. He is specially
qualified as Traffic Cop and boasts of
service and honorable discharge
from the U. S. Army. He was also
with the Texas Rangers, the famous
mounted police, from which organiza-
ton he has commendatory papers. 1t

RED CROSS SENDS OUT
APPEAL FOR CLOTHING
Children of Europe in Great
Need to Meet Winter
Conditions

In answer to the great cry for
clothing from overseas, the Executive
Committee of the Delaware Chapter
of the American Red Cross decided at
it's regular meeting last week to do
all in it's power to aid in providing the
garments so urgently needed by mil
lions Of babies and children in Europe.
An appeal sent out by the Red
Cross after the meeting asks every
body to aid as much as possible in this
work and to give as much of their
time as they can possibly spare so
that the clothing may arrive overseas
in time to prevent the disaster and
suffering which is always bound to be
more severe with the oncoming of
winter.
Information from the Red Cross in
Europe shows that there is an in
slant need of 250,OO0 layetttes and g.
100000 garments for children up to
the age of IA.
Mrs. Willard Hall Porter, chairman
of the Woman's Bureau and of the
Bureau of Production is in charge of
this work. Mrs. Porter is taking steps
to reorganize the workrooms and to
call upon the branches and auxiliaries
of the Delaware Chapter to answer
the call of this great and stirring ap-
peal.
DR.. Livingston Ferrand, president
of the National Red Cross, who is in
Europe at the present time, has
written to the Red Cross authorities
in America saying that the condition
of destitute children beggars descrip-
ton and that if every woman in
America would make garment there
still would be need for more.
AS soon as Mrs. Porter is able to
outline the work and to announce her
plans more definitely word will be re-
ceived by the branches and auxiliaries
by letter and telephone concerning the
work which is expected of them.

Display Window Broken in
Mysterious Manner

One of the large plate glass win
dows in the front of Sol Wilson's
store was broken in some mysterious
manner early Sunday morning. That
robbery was not the motive is evident
from the fact that nothing in the
window was disturbed; and from the
additional fact that the window was
broken after daybreak, according to
residents in the vicinity who heard
the crash.
Mr.. Wilson is of the opinion that
the affair was an accident. A dis
abled machine was seen in front of
the store very early in the morning.
The occupants were making repairs
and it is thought that one of the tools
was accidentally hurled against the
window.
The value of the window, which is
approximately $50, is covered by in
surance.
