MACS CoNFEcy.
AWARDED w PRIZE
Keen compe2 Is Shown BY
Merchants on Displays to
Advertise Boxing

Abercrombie and McCready has
been awarded the prize Of SIS offered
| by the American Legion boxing COM
mittee for the window display of
| their own wares featuring the fights
at the armory this evening. Nine
other entrants were judged by the
secret committee and of these the
Minnesota Electric Light and Power
company and the George T. Baker
company windows received honorable
mention.
The award was made after consid-
cradle thought was given to the
value of each display as advertised
for the boxing matches, considering
that the announcement of the offer
staged that the entrants should dis
play their own wares at the same
time.
The window of the electric light
company ranks high from the stand
point Of advertising the manly art
of self-defense, for two lads have per-
formed there for the benefit Of the
public for several hours each after
noon and evening during the past
two days. Bakers window has also
attracted considerable attention and
| comment. There two miniature
fighters have performed almost con-
tinuously.
"Mac's" window is, however,
thought by the judges to be the most
| neatly arranged from standpoint Of
advertising the wares of the store
and also the boxing show. The en-
tire display shows neat arrangement
and is complete in every detail. 9th
err entrants which are entitled to
credit for the originality of their dis
plays are Given Hardware, Palmer
Hardware, Shavitch Brothers. Hak-
kerup, Malloy's, LaQua's and Gill's.
The committee wishes to thank all
entrants for the advertising which
they have furnished for the boxing
show.

GUARANTEED JOBS ARE
PROPOSED IN WISCONSIN
(Ry United l'rcsS)

Madison, Wis.,, March 11.-"Guar-
anteed job, the American workman
will not be troublesome"
"The feeling of insecurity as to the
permanency Of the job is the prin-
cipal cause Of labor unrest"
This in brief summarizes the opin-
ion Of Professor John Il. Commons,
noted economist of tho University of
Wisconsin.
The state of Wisconsin has been
asked to incorporate Professor Com
mons views in law. A bill is now
pending in the legislature under Pro
lessor Commons direction, which in
sures workmen compensation in case
Of loss of employment.
The bill is generally known as an
unemployment insurance measure
but its primary purpose is to guar
antee the workman his job.
The fate Of the bill cannot be fore
told. The measure accepts the sweep
ing principle that the liability for un-
employment rests solely upon the
employer. The state, under the pro-
visions Of the bill, operates free en-
ployment offices and assists employ
ers in finding jobs for men dropped
from their payrolls. Until such Jobs
are found employers must pay idle
workmen and women $1.5O per day
for each day Of idleness and rs cents
a day for employees under the age of
10 years.
Worl:rnen must have worked for
one or more employers six months be-
fore they are entitled to compensa-
ton. They must be capable, a,:
able for employment and unable to
obtain suitable jobs. No employee is
required to work where there is a
lockout or strike. unemployment
insurance begins the third day after

Cost of Meat, Bread and Coal
May Be Influenced By
Struggle Today
PROCRESSIVES MAKING
BROAD DECLARATIONS
Standpat Leaders Take as Text
Harding's Declaration in
Recent Campaign
(By United Press)


Warrington, March 1.-THE cost
Of meat, bread and coal and other
necessities to every American con-
sumer may be directly influenced by
the outcome Of the struggle between
the so~called standpat and progress
sfve wings of the republican party
in full swing today in the senate.
1t is clash of ideas and princi-
pals, the issues of which are:
Whether corporations dealing in
the necessities of life shall be classed
as public service corporations and as
such be subject to federal regula-
tiOns.
Whether the ideas OF government
championed by the progressives or
those of the standpatter shall be es-
tablished as a policy OF the new con-
gress. After the wing headed by
Lodge, Smoot and PenrOse wins there
will be no packer control bill, no reg
ulatiOn Of the coal business as pro-
vided in the Calder bill, no curbing
Of gambling as proposed by Senator
Capper Of Kansas. no replacing of
the unconstitutional statute against
the profiteers, the progressives dec
The standpat leaders take as their
text President Harding's campaign
declaration for last government In
business"
The progressivcs headed by Borah.
Johnson and Kenyon announced
their intention or arousing public
sentiment against the standpat ideas
Through the press" Various means
of making the progressives harmless
are being invoked by party leaders.
One is the selection of a suitable agri-
cultural committee which handles
such measures as the packer bill and
other legislation promoted by pro-
gressive senators.
Senator Page of Vermont Is being
urged to give up the chairmanship
of the naval affairs committee to Sen
ator PoindeXter, Washington, and
take the agricultural craftsmanship.
This Is because, If he does not, Sen
ator Norris of Massachusetts, who
favors the Packer bill and other reg
ulation, is entitled to the place.
