ORGANIZE PLUMB
PLAN LEAGUE FOR
STATE OF ILLINOIS

Goaded by continuous propaganda
and efforts of the railroad companies
to further reduce the wages and
working standards of the railroad
workers, it is proposed by the East
st. Louis branch of the Plumb Plan
League to organize an Illinois branch
of the league in the hope, along non
partisan lines, to elect congressman
who will oppose the efforts of the
railroads, through their executives, of
getting further control of the nation
al government.
The call for the convention, which
is to be held i'm East st. Louis, ILL.,,
January %, 1922, follows:
East st. Louis Branch-Plumb Plan
Lcague-418 Collinsville Avenue
To the Officers and Members of Local
Labor Unions, Civic Bodies, and All
Progressive Organizations:
A convention will be held i'm East
st. Louis, ILL.,, in the Labor Temple,
No. 41S Collinsville Ave-, Sunday,
January %, 1922, at 10 a. m.
Your body is urged to have a dele
gate in this convention, which is for
the purpose of organizing the Illinois
State Branch of the Plumb Plan
League.
Brothers, we see that every effort
is being made to take our rights away
from US by legislation to maintain
our rights and to make progress we
must look to the legislative body to
do that, then it is very important
that we begin at once and build up
an organization to take care of elect
ing men to our congress who will rep
resent us.
The time to strike is while the iron
is hot. Every day we lose by hest
tating is day gained by the Cham
bers of Commerce and the Manufac-
turers' Association and the employ
ers who are trying to make slaves of
US. Will we sit by idly or will we
exert all our manhood and fight as
red blooded Americans can fight? We
know the people are ready and anX-
ious to protect themselves but need
their efforts to be directed along a
well-defined line that will be the duty
of the convention to organize and
agree on a well-defined plan of cam
paign.

1T Is said that a lie travels faster
than the truth; that half truth is of
ten worse than whole lie. These
people know that the constant teach
ing OF false news and erroneous ideas
creates a psychology that it takes
years To destroy.
The people, the public generally,
are really hungry for news. They
swallow without analysis false state
ments made for Interior purposes. Ii
would be much better if the workers
got their views on economics from
the labor press and from their own
official journals. IL would be better
still If the most of Us got down to
rock-bottom facts and did our own

Newspapers are useful as a time
killer, for baseball scores, etc. Some
like them for divorce news, murders
and dinner parties given to trained
monkeys. We have no objection to
anybody reading the daily press. We
think they should, but when it comes
to our own best interests let us be
guided by facts and our own deduc-
tons.
THE most of US know that good
bill of prices, reasonable working
hours and fair shop conditions are
the proper things for us, and we,
moreover, know that the only way to
get these things is through the trade
unions. On this there is no argu-
ment. ANY one who disputes it has
an AK to grind or has space to rent
In the top of his head. He might be,
however, repeating parrot-like, things
he has heard from those with inter
ests divergent from those of the work
ers."

for handbags. Bags of MORE are

worth buying. even though We may be

ion. Those with a simple monogram
worked In their design are in good
style.
Jet is used in handbags; sometimes
big fiat buttons OF the jet, cut In
square or round form, are fastened
nat against heavy moire silk. And
there are tassels OF jet beads pendant
from moire bags.
Embroidered black velvet is another
good fashion for bags. The velvet is
embroidered in tiny steel and jet
beads, sometimes mingled with color
ed beads, such as coral or Jade green
ones. Sometimes the beads arc In

She explained her prideful attitude
in looking over the old album by
SAYING that every woman in that era
wanted a brown and white frock, and
she, who was not sufficiently old
enough to be INDUCED in wish for
such a fashionable attire, was as
