HAVE YOU BEEN THINKING
PRICES TOO HIGH
1t Pays to Read What Is Advertised
And Then Find Who Is
Cutting.

Several of Grenada's leading mer-
chants are advertising in The Sentinel
this week some goods and articles
that everybody needs and that most
people will buy sometime real soon.
Now then it pays to look over these
ads and see for yourself what they
say. They carry message to you,
Mr.. Reader. If you do not read these
ads, you are the loser, and if you do
not read them, do not have anything
to say about merchants not cutting
prices"

Pacific and the Grand Trunk sys-
TENS. Employees on the two lines went
out at about the same time, in the
spring of the year, and were out for
four months, following a disagree
ment on wages and working condi-
tions. The trouble with the Canadian
Pacific was compromised it was said,
while the Grand Trunk strike, accord
ing to union officials resulted in a
virtual victory for the strikers.
Sporadic strikes continued to take
place in the membership, according
to officers, when the union was at
tempting to organize, in many
instances men being discharged for
belonging to the order, it was claimed,
and others striking in protest.
1t was not until 1907 that any COM
paratively large body of men was af-
fected At that time 5000 went out
on the Illinois Central, for a brief
period. but an amicable adjustment of
the differences prompting the walk
out, was effected. officials say.
1919 First Big Action.
In 1914, the union struck on the
northern section of the Missouri Pa
cific $500 men being out about four
months, and in 1917, the whole system
was affected by a strike of approx
mately 5000 or 5000 men. The last
walkout lasted only a month however.
In both instances, satisfactory settle

The first concerted action by the
union came in the summer of 1919,
when the railroads of the country were
under the railroad administration. and
the maintenance men voted to strike
for 4 40 per cent wage increase. In
September of that year. however, at
the convention of the order it was de-
cided to hold off to give President
Wilson an opportunity to take meas
ures for reducing the most of living.
When the delay failed to produce
satisfa ctory results, general chairmen
of the organization met here in Feb
rCary, 1920. and ordered the strike
into effect. February IT. On the eve
of the strike, brotherhood officials
conferred with President Wilson in
Washington, and it was agreed not to
strike, the men being given to under

WHY NOT K. 0. LEAGUE?
editor State Journal:

Editor State Journal:
When I quit the newspaper game
and became a common plug citizen
again, I had no intention of becoming
one of those who seek chances to write
letters to the editor, but the need in
this case is so urgent that 1 must for
this once become a PRO Bono Pub
lico.''
Perhaps I should have addressed
myself to Dick Cooley, but since
know he reads at least the sport page
of the papers daily, sending the letter
to your columns will be the same
thing. Also and besides, l am now
a publicity hound and if this gets
printed I'll get some more publicity
for the Grand and another clipping to
put in my scrap book.
With that all out of the way let me
come down to real business. I want
to suggest that instead of Southwest

Kansas Oklahoma baseball aggrega-
ton. Sounds simple doesn't it? All
the teams of the league are in either
of the two states and that would be
enough excuse.
From a publicity standpoint the
change would be simply great All
the fans would call it the K. O..
league and those two letters mean a
whole lot in sporting parlance. 1t
would suggest that the sluggers at the
bat in this league always knock En-
OUT and the players themselves with
K. o. attached to their names would
add greatly to their morale-gosh,
that last is a good word.
Would have made Il personal trip
to Rigby's to say all this to Cooley but
refrained and wrote to you instead
both because of the reasons already
given and because I had some slight
apprehension that Dick might try out
