The Progressive Merchant.

Your attention is called to the
change in the ads in this weeks issue
Of the Independent, and also to the
new ones The merchants Of Delta
appreciate your trade and take this
means of telling you Of any bargains
they may have to offer, and also to
announce the arrival Of new goods
which are placed at your disposal and
inspection By closely watching the
columns of this paper you will learn
the names Of our business men who
invite you to deal with them and you
can rest assured that they will treat
you right. A merchant who does not
care enough for your trade to ask you
to visit his store and who does not
inform yo Of the many bargains he
may have to offer is hardly worthy
of your patronage-they are not in
business in Delta. The progressive
merchant will always let his custom
ers know Of the arrival OF new goods
at once, and the way Delta merchants
do is to patronize the columns of the

MINIMUM WAGE LAW
NOT SATISFACTORY

BOSTON, June 21.-The publisher
of the Boston Transcript has been
fined 800 in the municipal court for
refusing to print report of the Mas
sachusetts minimum wage commits
sion. The decision has ben appealed
and because Of the constitutional
points involved the case will undoubt-
eddy go to the supreme court.
The minimm wage commission has
no authority to enfroce its decisions,
which are supposed to depend upon
the power Of public opinion. The law
empowers the commission to publish
the names of firms that refuse to ac-
cept its wage awards. This procedure
has been followed as a matter of
form, but snag was struck in the
case Of the L. P. Hollander Company,
dealers in fashionable wearing ap-
parel for Boston's exclusive set.
The commission found that this
concern was paying less than the
minimum wage of SO a week for be-
ginners, $11 for those OF experience
and $14 for experienced women and
girls.
The commissions announcement
was printed in several other Boston
papers, but the Transcript refused on
the ground that it might lay the paper
open to civil action. The Transcript
also claims that the legislature has no
right to say what paper shall pub
lish.
The case will be carried through
the courts for years and unless they
organize the women and girls involved
viii be paid the same sweat shop
wages the commission has failed to
end.

A. F. Of |. NAY LIFT
SEATTLE CHARTER
CONTINUED from Page one)

February, notified the council that it
must comport itself in accordance
with the laws and policies OF the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, and set forth
certain instructions that were to be
complied with.
Duncan Prepares Copies.
A lengthy letter prepared by Secre-
tary Duncan OF the Seattle council
was dispatched to the parent body,
signed by a committee of the council,
and which brought forth q reply from
headquarters at Washington again set
ting forth certain stipulations that
must be complied with as n condition
Of continued utilization with the par
ent body.
A reply to the second letter was dis
patched to A. F. OF L. headquarters
some ten days ago. and on which is
evidently based the dispatch appear
ing in last Sundays Seattle Times in
dicating that the executive council will
lift the Seattle body's charter.
Secretary Duncan Of the Seattle
council has prepared a pamphlet en-
bodying copies Of letters from che
A. f. Of L. and the replies thereto,
together with his own personal COM
ment thereon, and the council has ati-
thoffzed the sending of 5000 copies
thereof broadcast throughout the
country. The pamphlet is entitled:
Statement Of the Seattle Central La
Dor Council Relative to It's Contro-
versy with the Executive Council of
the American Federation of Labor"
Some More Bunk.
The letters of reply to the Amer
lean Federation of Labor infer that
the charges had been filed against
them by the president of the State
Federation of Labor, although both
the author of the letter and the coun-
ell are thoroughly familiar with the
source from which the charges were
right. The customary attack on the
inference that the last convention of
the State Federation wasn't just quite
right. The customary attack on he
president of the State Federation is
also INDUCED in. Sympathy is APP
pealed for on the grounds that the Ia
NOAAAo anu AINOAOSb OO0nCAlb, ID NCIl
as the Seattle council, have not been
able to work with the Federation head.
No mention is made Of the fact that
the overwhelming majority of the rank
and file of labor in the cities named
find no such difficulty as that refer
red to as applying to the councils men,
toned 1t was this same rank and
file that administered to the writer
of the letter In question the most hu-
miliaing defeat he has yet suffered
when they eliminated him as teller in
the recent State Federation election.
Whether 1t is controversy with the
American Federation of Labor, the
invasion Of the earwig, or the inclem-
ency of the weather that arouses lit
tie Jimmie's attention and ire, he is
never at loss to find the culprit re-
sponsible for 1t all The dark and
insidious hand of the Federation head
can always be seen by him lurking
in the shadows planning the devilish
deed
An appeal has been made for funds
to defray the cost of printing and
general distribution throughout the
country of the propaganda.

Reverend Christensen arrived on Sun
day morning from the States via Porto
Rico.
While the members Of his congrega-
ton and his many friends were glad to
greet him. they did so with heavy hearts
for it was widely known that the Rev
erend gertDemah had been ordered to
St. Croix, and. thus although he had re-
turned to the Virgin Islands he was not
to Iabour among those. who h&d learned
to appreciate him through his simple and
straightforward manner
That Reverend Christensen IS mt to
resume the pastorate Of the Lutheran
congregation is much to deplore especial,
ly when one recalls how greatly tke
length of a pastors %sojourn strengthens
his congregation spiritually and other
wise.
1t is to he hoped that the governing
body of the church will see fit to order
Reverend Christensen to again take
charge of the Lutheran congregation on
this island in view Of his being so much
desired. st. Thomas Mail Notes, Sept.
