There was not discordant note
at the meeting but earnest enthusiasm
marked every suggestion.
No more representative body of men
have assembled in Fitzgerald since it
was founded and no meeting that has
been held in the city has accomplished
as much as we sincerely predict will
come from this meeting held at the
Mayors office yesterday.
On motion of Mr.. J. G. Knapp, the
Board of managers gave Mr.. l.. Gel
ders vote of thanks for the suggestion
made to the Mayor that eliminated to-
day in this organization.
The chairman stated that the meet
ing was ready for permanent organiza.

President H. c. McFadden.

Treasurer-H. M. Warren.

BANK FAVoRs HIGH WAGEs-It's the exec,

DAMN FAVORS HUH WAGES--It the eXCep
ton that proves the rule when bank comes out
flat-footed the side OF the workers when they
are at grips with the employer over question OF
wages-but the thing does happen.
1t happened when the Merchants Banking Trust
Company, Mahanoy City, Pa, undertook discus
sion OF the Coal strike. Mahanoy City is in the
heart OF the anthracite region It's dealings are
with the coal miners and operators But its SYM
Fathles, as they are expressed by D. F. Guinan sec
rotary and treasurer, seem to be with the men.
1t tells the to go to it" and stick to their
coors until their strike is won. No arbitration no
compromise no com1ssion tribunal to pass on
the question of wages" says a recent bank bulle-
tin The wage question should be settled direct
ly with the operators, without outside interference
A fight to the finish now means the end of threat
of wage reductions. 1t is good fight and worthy
of sacrifice"
This bank has some rather unusual ideas on the
question OF wages. Illustrating:
Wages should not be discussed from the stand
point of the cost of living That has nothing to
do with the question.
Labor leaders that argue for living wage should
be called to the Adler men must 90 to the
front
What is living wage? The mine mule gets his
TODD, care and shcer-a living wage for mule
The black man when held in bondage by the
slave owners of the South, got bed and board a
living wage fer the slave
III: master took all over and above the nriccr
of his keeping
!, II Is nonsense to talk of living wage or saw
ing wage Wages should be based on profits That
means an equitable distribution among the factors
of production"
The entire theory of economics Of the waqe-cut-
ting Employer is exploded in these sentences
lie higher the wages in mining the higher the
rates IL other lines of work and, the higher the
charge for service from professional men,
High wages mean more money in the channels
OF business, consequently more profit more ,ner
chants
Higher wages mean greater opportunities for
business and lead to higher prices for rent
In this way, fight against reduction and for
maintenance OF present schedule of wages concerns
every property owner business man. professional
man and every banker.
For the more money earned the more money
spent, and the more money stored or DEPOSITED
The strike is everybody's fight and the front line
trenches is the place for every person in this region

MAKING
TSINESS DEPENDENT-One

MAKING BUSINESS DEPENDENT-One
great fault of the high protection policy which the
Republican party is again attempting to fasten on
the nation, is its tendency to make producers de-
pend upon artificial stimulus. 1t is normal thing
tor business men to have to meet competition. Too
frequently they are able by deals and combinations
to eliminate rivalry That creates an ndolent sat
isfactlon with conditions they are
Under such arrangements manufacturers and
corporations get easy going in their methods They

he stimulus of foreign competition is won
deru thing for such people 1t sets their ingenuity
to work They are forced to abandon easy going
and traditional ways and make efforts to serve the
public They often find, while they had thought
the competition would be deadly, that bv reason
able effort they can meet it. The American bust
ness man mechanic can do wonders, if his in
ventiveness is stimulated If you shield him behind
prohibltlve tariff he shows half what he can
do. To hear these ultra protectionists talk YOU
would think that American manufacturers and
workers industrial weaklings, and that thew
are not able to meet world competition on even
terms. 1t may be natural enough that they should
desire the easy time created by the shelter of high
tariff wall But this means that very high prices
must be paid by the working people.
Competition has ceased to exist in manv fields of
home production. If now you exclude the foreign
article on the ground that our business men can't
hold their own in the International trade race.
these manufacturers in a position to charge
any price they may see fit and most people in this
world are inclined to value their own products at
very high rate

THE RATIO FOR PUBLICITY

AAAAS ma ~ TIN bAASII -puSllCSS en-
perts recommend that mercantile concerns set
aside certain definite proportion of their receipts
tor publicity work, part OF the essential sales
expense. Different firms would differ on the ra-
ito that could be established. 1t may need to be
more in quiet times than in rush periods, on the
theory that it takes more effort to sell goods in
times of slow trade.
The head of well known big city department
store, says he expects to spend five per cent of
his sales on publicity. Two per cent of sales goes
into newspaper advertising and the rest to window
space, the cost OF trimming it in novel and striking
ways, etc. Probably the majority would say this
is too much relatively for window space.
The problem of the average merchant is net so
much attracting in the crowd that goes to the store
informing people in their homes as to the market
conditions and what special offerings are being
made But whatever ratios are agreed upon in
any concern, business house makes an advance
step when it recognizes that it must set aside a
cerrain proportion of its income for selling cam

THE LAW AND THE STRIKE" - Chicago
Tribune Chides Hooper for Talk About Striking
Against the Government" -Chairman Hooper and
the majority members of the United States Rail-
road Labor Board have come down off their high
horses. They will not outlaw the Shipments
unions-the law won't let them. They acknowl-
edge they are without power to write an anti-strike
clause into the labor provisions of the Transporta-
ton Act. SO far SO good
Now Chairman Hooper should stop this silly talk
about the shopmen Striking against the govern
ment"
The law enacted by Congress gives the workers
the right to refuse to accept decision rendered bv
the Labor Board. The courts have so held All
the members OF Congress who helped frame the
Transportation Act approve the courts interpre-
tation.
Even the ultra-conservatiye Chicago Tribune
appreciates the absurdity of Chairman Hoopcr's
position and it endeavors to set him right in the o
lowing editorial under the caption, The law and
the strike:
Mr.. Hooper of the Labor Board is quoted as
declaring that the shopmens Unions are striking
against the government. The assertion, which
may be unattended garbng of Mr.. Hooper
words, is misleading, and in justice to Mr. Jewell
and his followers this should be made clear
There is nothing in the Esch- Cummns law which
prohibits this any other strike The act provides
only that before strike is called the Unions shall
submit their differences to the Labor Board That
has been done. The law does not require either
side to accept the decision of the board 1t simply
relies upon the force of public opinion to induce
both sides to accept the boards decisions
In this the shopmen were not induced Per.
laps public opinion did not appear Perhaps il
would have been ignored even if it had appeared
But in any case the right to strike remains to the
men if they choose to exercise it. 1t is A question
OF expediency."
We do not want to unnecessarily burden Chair.
man Hooper and the majority merlbers with adj.
vice, but we can not refrain from one more suqoes
ton.
The people of the United States are paving Mr.
Hooper $4,000 year to act as chairman of the
United States Railroad Labor Board There is
nothing in the law to suggest that he should serve
as chief press agent for the railroads. and when he
assumes that role and issues garbled statements
filled with half-baked statistics he is ANYTHING but
an impressive figure.
If the board is to retain any influence with tn,
public the workers Chairman Hooper mus
bride his desire to be partisan in the controversy
between the shopmen and the railroads.
