GIRLS CLUB NOTES

Monday afternoon and evening the

munity Christmas tree boxes. he
major part of the work should be done

give you a few years back? If you
want to attend a real Christmasy al
fair plan to come this week, Friday

see the children enjoy it all. Get
away from the hurried feeling for an
hour. The club believes that all its

help on the boxes for the children but
should get every man, woman and
child out to the Christmas Tree, Fri
day!
There will be a short executive
council meeting Monday during the
supper hour. This is open to all

New Certificates
Coon Sale

Postmaster Frederick w. Plaisted
announces that he has received the
new series of Treasury Savings Ger
tificates which have been adopted by
the United States Treasury Depart
ment. They are issued in three uh-
it's of $25, 500 and $1,000 maturity
value. The first bears the portrait of
Theodore Roosevelt, the second the
portrait of George Washington, and
the third the portrait Of Abraham
Lincoln. They are rather different
in form from the certificates which
have previously been issued BY the
Treasury Department and contain
many features which will be of in
terest to our readers.
The United States Treasury De-
partment will furnish through the
postof1ice these certificates at prices
which will net the investor Az per
cent. compounded semi-annually IL
held until maturity. They mature
in five years from the date of issue,
and are sold at the following prices:
500. for the $25: $50 for the 500 and
$500 for the 81 1000.
An advantage winch is exceptional
among investment securities is the
fact that these certificates automat-
ically increase in value every month
during the time they are held, and as
both principal and interest is guaran-
teed by the United States Govern
ment the investor is absolutely sure
that not only has his investment been
made at minimum price, but that
at such time as he may desire he can
receive back his principal and inter-
est.
These certificates are practically
tax exempt and possess other advan-
tages.

GOMPERS WANTS
INDEP PENDENCE
FOR TRADE UNION
STATEMENT LAST MIGHT
American Federation of Labor
Opposed to Adoption of Res
olution Calling FOR ''Revolu-
tionary Action With Asso-
citation Of Industry" Policy
International Federation.

ance of relations between the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor and the In
ternational Federation of Trade I'm
ions was based principally on the
failure Of the constitution of the lat
ter organization to protect the com
pIete autonomy" of it's members. This
was made clear in the letter sent
by Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation, to Jan Dude
geest, secretary of the International
Federation at Amsterdam, a copy OF
which was made public here tonight.
Other considerations enumerated by
Mr.. GomPers were:
''That through the issuance of ap-
peals and proclamations the execu-
tive body of the International Fed
GRAFTON had committed the Fedora
tion to a revolutionary principle to
which the American Federation Of
Labor is and always has been un
compromisingly opposed, and to
which no labor movement guided by
democratic ideals could give appro-
val
'tThat a system of dues had been
adopted which would place upon the
American Federation of Labor a
heavy and unbearable expense"
Requests for a clear exposition of
the International Federation's stand
on the question of national autonomy
and for a readjustment of the quest
ion of dues have met with mo fav-|
orable response" from Amsterdam,
the letter said, but more serious than
either of these ''is the conduct of the
International officers during the
months that have elapsed since the
organization of the new International
Federation"
Frequent appeals have been made
by the officers of the International
Federation, Mr.. Gompers reminded
Secretary Oudegeest, "and by repre-
sentatives of British labor, asking
that the American Federation of La
Dor place itself in accord with the
International Federation. At the
same time the executive officers have
pursued policy completely at var
lance with that of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor.
"'The policy of the International,
he continued, apparently was clearly
shown in the adoption of resolution
calling for revolutionary action
with the association of industry
''The American Federation of La
bor is opposed to that policy and
there can be no compromise between
the two points of view," the letter
said. "The American Federation of
Labor is most anxious to be part of
an international trade union move
ment. 1t is our purpose to be helpful
to the workers of every country in
their purpose to better the lives and
work of toilers. If such an interna-
tional federation will vouchsafe and
guarantee the autonomy and inde-
pendence of the American Federation
OF Labor we shall join in regardless
of any policies and theories for which
the various tnational movements may
declare in their own countries"
