ELMER BURG
Has Fine Shoe Store on West
Side

What seems to be proving one of
the most popular stores on the West
Side is the shoe store opened by
Elmer Burg several weeks ago. The
store is located on Main street, be-
tween B and c streets, and is hand
somely appointed and well stocked.
Among the stock can be found several
we'll known standard brands of shoes.
Mr.. Burg's idea is to sell shoes at a
low rate with a small profit. This
policy seems to be proving successful
judging from the number of people
seen at all times in the store. Elmer
is an old member of the Retail
Clerks Union, and has as his assist
ant Leo Schwartzel, another old mem
ber of the Clerks Union. The store
is certainly entitled to patronage by
local organized labor.

sors, for we struck firss, and we struck
hard, blow after blow. We won the
fight,
I'm the present difficulty my un-
derstanding is that in time of peace
the unions asked for straight eight
hour day for five days and four hours
on Saturdays, real Saturday half
holiday, and real weekend. The en-
ployers agreed that this was an en-
tirely reasonable request, and that
the unions at that time were in a po-
sition to enforce their suggestion
without much difficulty. But said
the employers, simply because you
can enforce this reduction in hours
now is no reason why you should do
it; we should be given time in which
to adjust ourselves to this new over
head requirement
$50 the unions in all fairness, and
acting exactly as they should, after
full consideration of the continent
wide condition, agreed with the en-
ployers that the period of readjust-
ment preparation should be two years,
and that the 44-hour week should be-
come effective on May /, 1921.
$50 far SO good, with the exception
| of the unfortunate New York erup-
ton; things went swimmingly until
the latter part of 1920, when the great
economic depression fell upon the
country, and the employers discovered
that any further shortening of the
working time was 'unpatriotic' Sec
tional meetings were held by them
| throughout the country and pledges
exacted that the 44-hour week would
be refused and resisted; in other
words, that contract deliberately en-
tered into should be as deliberately
Irepudiated, for the shoe was thought
to be on the other foot, the employers

unions unsuccessfully attempt to en-
force. That consideration the union.

the employers were III tHe drivers
seat. We all know the result.
Every friend of conciliation and
negotiation cannot but deplore the
present situation. The recalcitrant
employers must now deeply regret it
and those who are so hard-boiled that
they rejoice in their degradation will
live to feel realization of their folly.
Every radical, not alone union, will
be encouraged in his radicalism by his
employer-contract violation. Reckless
ness and wantonness will be the
watchwords of the rattlebrains, and
rest assured they will have audiences
and their supporters. International
officers will find it increasingly diff
cult to secure compliance with con-
tract obligations, for the irebrands
will retort with the 44-hour contract
reputation. The bolshevik employers
have struck blow at peace and fair
dealing in the printing industry, a
blow that may all but destroy the re-
gard for the sanctity of contracts that
had become religion with the Typo
graphical Unions. On the other hand,
those employers who now see the folly
of contract reputation should be
quick to act, should at once demand
that conferences be arranged for, so
that through negotiation industrial
peace may come again to the print
ing industry, in which both employer
and employe have so great stake.
"And never after should there be
even a semblance of contract rapu-
diation."

Ex-President James M. Lynch,
writing for the Forty-Four Hour
Weekly, published in Philadelphia,
says:
'sThe 44-hour difficulty emphasizes
first, the value of conciliation and
negotiation, and, second, the value of
faithful observance of contracts sol
emnly entered into; and any other
course spells ruin and disaster.
"In 1905 negotiations with the
United Typothetate of America were
maintained until the clash came at
the Niagara Falls convention of the
employers association. On behalf of
the union the international officers
had made a number of suggestions
under which the 48-hour week could
have been inaugurated with the least
burden to industry Our last prop
osition was that the working time
should be reduced fifteen minutes q
