LADIES' AUXILIARY
OBJECT TO ACTION
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers
Auxiliary Takes Exception to Atti-
tude Of Chamber Of Commerce.

At meeting of Division No. 225.
Ladies Auxiliary to the Brotherhood
Of Locomotive Engineers. exception
was taken to action taken at meeting
OF the Chamber OF Commerce regard
ing the proposed strike OF the railroad
workers. and the following letter was
sent to the Chamber Of Commerce.
'At meeting Of the Ladies' Auxil-
larry to the Brotherhood OF Locomo
tive Engineers last week a motion was
made. seconded and unanimously car
ried that we, Division 225. go on rec
ord as condemning the action of the
Chamber OF Commerce on the stand
they took on the proposed railroad
strike
In condemning your action we want
you to know just how we feel in re-
gard to the stand you took.
First. why didn't you wait until the
strike took place instead of making
enemies, IN business way, of all the
railroad union men and their families?
In the second place you did not
know what you were talking about,
but II the men had been striking on
the wage question alone, which they
were not. it seems that the members
Of the Chamber of Commerce would
have common sense enough to see that
the more money the men made the
more they would put into circulation.
and by Standing by us would mean
more to them as business men and to
the city they represent, than 10y MAX
ing enemies Of US.
Have you ever seriously thought
what it would mean to you If we rail-
road people took our business away
from you? And have you ever thought
how easy it is for us to give our money
and our trade to some other place?
Our men spend two thirds OF their
time in or passing through some other
city or town, and have more than
enough time to do our shopping for
us. The part the men can't do we, the
principal spenders Of their "princely
salaries as you term it, can, with no
expense. go to some other place TO
spend it. We not only can do this. but
win do It, if we do not find that there
are enough square business men and
professional men left, after checking
of those who took the stand they did
against us. Don't think we don't know
who they are even IL you do refuse to
give us or any Of the local union divi-
sions the list OF your members.
I'VE are afraid you Will find that you
need us more than we need you. We
have our own bank. equal to any. in
the United States, and our own in
stlrance WE can find enough honest.
upright business and professional men
left TO be able to cut the one who took
the mean, underhand stand they did
when they crossed the bridge which
they never reached.
re we railroad people take the
stand we can take and are contem-
plating taking. we are afraid you viii
need help to cross the bridge of de-
pressed business.
cit might be to your advantage to
retract from the stand taken and
take back" some OF the things you
said Remember "in union there is
strength and in some unions there is
strength, plus"

scHWAR ON UNEMPLOYMENT

81" TOLD him." said Charles NJ. Schwab,
L talking at State College of a discus
sion he had with President Harding on the
eve Of the Unemployment Conference, that
nothing would come of it because it wouldn't
get down TO fundamentals"
The Unemployment Conference didn't get
Oown to fundamentals. Few people do.
The conference got nearer to fundamentals
than any one had got before it in the search
ior the causes of involuntary idlcness.
Mr.. Schwab is on good ground in urging
the need for getting down through the
togs of discussion and dclusion to the heart
ana foundation of the industrial troubles Of
the time If we were to do that it would
be necessary to stand large part Of the
population up for indictment under charges
of vain, wastcful, negligent and costly
habits.
The sins of the hour arc not peculiar to
any one class, to the employer or the en-
poyCd. Industry sackcncd because for an
interval 1t couldn't be made to return the
usual profits to labor and to the owners
Neither group has been willing to make the
temporary sacrifices by which industrial
equilibrium may be restored. Each wants
the other to take the initiative. And there
seems to be no way of getting them to as
sumo equal shares Of the burden.

Value Is Increasing
From a financial point American art
has increased in value from 100 to 1000 per
cent during the last ten years. as the public
begins to appreciate what has been done and
how thc work stands up in comparison with
Old Masters.
''My personal opinion is, If man buys
examples OF the great American painters at
proper prices he has something which ap-
pcals to him as American Crt and he also
has n good investment.
MANY stories might be told OF people
who have bought with judgment and sold at
large profits and in addition had a possess

while they still can be had?'
