Three years of successful business
have been rounded out by the Twin
City Cooperative Society, which con-
ducts a grocery and meat market at
113-115 N. First street, Champaign.

gone through a period OF depression
never before experienced in American
history. the society has fourished and
his become one of The best co-opera-
tive societies in this part of the coun-
try.

TARIFF BILL WILL
BOOST LIVING COSTS
THIRTY PER CENT

The senate has passed the tariif bill
and IL was sent to conference where
IL will remain until after the Novem-
Der elections, as the members of the
senate and house would not dare pass
the measure and then go before their
constituents and ask for reelection.
However, the tariff BILL which
means an increase of approximately
30 per cent In the cost of living, will
be passed at the December session.
There is no hope for its defeat, as the
special interests favored by the meas
ure insist upon congress obeying its
masters voice.
While some changes may be made
in conference, the tariff bill viii re
main one Of the most iniquitous and
vicious pieces Of class legislation ever
enacted by any Legislative body In the
history of the world.
Already sugar, foodstuns. building
and other protected manu-
facturers are beginning TO advance
prices In anticipation Of the bills
passage.

BLACKLIST WOULD RULE
If SENIORITY WERE LOST

(By A. f. of L. News Serviee.)

Chicago.-When the railroads OPP
pose seniority, they really aim at a
condition that will permit them to dis
charge active trade unionists, declare
striking railroad shop men in their
latest bulletin.
"fo many newspaper readers the
strike means a fight for seniority
That is the carriers red herring in
troduced for the purpose of obseur-
ing the real issues. They seek Ia
make it appear that the seniority
rights are favors which the men
should forfeit as "A penalty for exer-
cising their admitted right TO refuse
to work under non-acceDtable condi-
rights are essential to the efficient
operation of transportation service.
For their own good the roads wish
to retain the senior, more efficient en-
ployes, after the strike. They talk
loudly now of protecting the new
men for the purpose of diyerting at
tention from the main issues.
They also hope TO wipe out the
principle of seniority so that when
ii suits their purpose they can
weed out those workers most active
in the protection of rights Of their
fellow employees. This would punish
the more Independent, forceful work
ers and intimidate others.
''These are but high spots in the
fight for decent conditions in the
transportation industry. They are the
accumulation Of several years bitter
assault on the rights of workers in
the hope Of disrupting their organiza-
tions. The employees know that only
by standing together can they with
stand these attacks. They are united
as never before, and victory is GER
tain"

That the strike is daily gaining in
effectiveness is disclosed in the re-
ports from men on the line, which il
must be conceded are far more relia-
BILE than statements issued by rail-
road executives solely for public con-
sumption. What is more TO the point
say the shopmen, is the question of
whether President Harding will make
good on his declaration that all gov
ernment safety appliance laws must
be enforced to the last letter. II this
is done, complete collapse of transpor-
tatlon Is only few days away.
And the sooner this collapse, say
the men, the quicker a settlement of
the strike.
The men on strike know that the
number of men recruited to serve as
strikebreakers, so glibly and fire.
quently enumerated by certain rail
executives, mean nothing in the max
ing of repairs to locomotives and
other rolling stock. These ineffieients
are being pair wages that the Rail
road Labor Board said the roads were
unable to assume. The running rate
is 10 cents am hour, plus 80 cents
bonus, board and lodging, with pri-
vate guards and state troops TO watch
over them. Thus a mighty bin of
operating expense" is piling up
which the public viii eventually be

CHURCH HURT
BY ACTION OF
THE RAILROADS

The finance committee of the Grace
Methodist Episcopal church, urbana,
met last Friday night and found that
the outstanding liabilities were IN a
very serious condition, so much DO,
that the future of the church Is en-
dangered.
The last two winters the Industrial
situation al the railroad shops has
been very uncertain, The men have
bee nlaid of for weeks at time, and
some OF them for months during the
last two winters, Added 10 that, since
July LIST, they have been out of work
except an occasional Job, because oi
the strike. Grace church ministers
entirely to laboring population, the
majority of whom are shopmen
When work was regular the men
paid to the church a days wage each
month, and everything was paid in
full.
The last two years they have not
been able to do this. Last year the
Centenary Fund helped to straighten
out the amount owing. This year,
those funds are not available. The
financial indebtedness at the present
time is as follows: Pastor Sdd7.22,
the other items bring up the total to
over 100000.
The church feels that they can
confidently appeal to their fellow
working men to help them in their
deep need. IL would be a calamity for
the church to fail because Of the finan-
eial and industrial conditions.
We are making am earnest effort
TO raise the whole of this money by
the help Of our friends.
We shall hold three services Sun
day in addition TO the Sunday School
Morning worship, il;00; evening wor-
ship, 1890. In the afternoon at 2.30,
popular service will be held, Rev.'s
4. G. Sandmeyer, and James c. Baker
or Herbert A. keck, will speak.
At each Of these services a thank
Offering will be taken. II you are un-
able 10 attend, and would like TO help,
you may send check or money to ID.

These are the last services of the
conference year. Conference begins

PRESIDENTS STRIKE
MESSAGE is ATTEMPT
TO CONTROL LABOR
CIV PRESIDENT GOMPERs)

1 Wsahington.---ln an interview with
newspaper correspondents at A. +. of
I l.. headquarters, President Gompers
construed the presidents strike mes
( sage as an attempt TO compel men to
work under threat of bayonet or jail
sentence, and as an indirect threat OF
government by injunction.
The president took no new position
in his message, for when he was
eaator he Was faborahIy inclined
toward anii-strike IeeIslsxton, SAID
President Gompers.
"The president said in substance"
continued the trade unionist, that
the decisions of the railroad labor
! board must be made enforceable. That
is, and no other construction can be
placed upon 1t, if the labor board or
any other board of similar functions
renders decision reducing wages iur-
ther, or disposing of conditions per-
tanning to rights and interests Of the
workers, they have to go to work
whether they like it or not. And If
they refuse, what then? They would
go to jail. In other words, the pen
atty of fine or imprisonment, or both,
will be the method of enforcing the
decisions of the railroad labor board,
or if not that the men will be forced
to labor under guns"
The presidents Endorsement of a
fact-finding coal commission, which
has been advocated by organized la
bor, Mr.. Gompers opposed on the
ground that Mr.. Harding seeks to
have this body made up of men in
dependent of the coal industry. "Such
PROPOSAL" said the unionist, "does
not commend itself to practical men,"
Referring to the presidents recon-
mendation for enactment of bill to
give federal courts jurisdiction to
protect aliens in rights assured to
them by treaty between their coun-
tries and the United States, President
Gompers said:
mo one can regard the Herrin
has been officially ascertained that
company men first shot innocent men,
guilty of no wrong, not even of tres
pass. The president may be right
but / do not know that the findings
of a coroner's jury, composed of
business men of the vicinity, can be
described as farcical."
anyway, it was a nasty piece of
business, which no one can justify.
But what is the purpose? Is it really
to protect the alien or is it another
effort to override the constitution and
the rights of states ?"
President Gompers denied the
presidents charge that the country is
at the mercy Of the United Mine
Workers.
"People are inconvenienced by
strikes and lockouts," he said, but
there is no instance in the history Of
industry where the country has been
placed at the mercy of an organiza.
ton of labor. If high finance and big
business can enforce wage reductions,
impairing the buying power Of the
mass of the people, it is greater
menace to the republic than any strike
of coal miners or shop men.
81 have an abiding faith that at
last the common sense of the people
of the United States will prevail and
that they will not give up principles
of guaranteed freedom because big
business, high finance and subservlent
politicians want TO go that far. Ths
people have some notion of what their
guaranteed rights under the consti-
tuition are"
