THE HOME
MERCHANT

The mails are being flooded these
days with catalogs and circulars from
the mail order houses, chain stores,
department stores and city stores of
various kinds carrying appeals, more
or less spacious for the housewife to
supply her home needs by mail The
plea is made that by patronizing
these concerns a saving can be made
on all kinds of merchandise they
carry. But if the good housewife,
and her husband who foots the bill,
will weigh the matter carefully and
make some investigations they can
easily determine that their real inter
ests from the financial standpoint as
well as the matter of seeing what
they buy and getting quality merch-
andise can best be served by patro-
nizing home merchants, the fellows
who own the business in your home
town, who have a direct interest in
home improvements and progress.
And speaking of The Home Merch-
ant, who is he? He is the chap who
gives you credit when you are
financially broke, and carries your
account until you are able to pay.
He is the chap who gives you
back your money or makes exchanges
when you are not satisfied with what
you have bought
He is the chap who meets you at
the door with a message to the kids"
and a real come again. goodbye"
He is the chap whose clerks live
in the home town and spend their
money with you and other local
people.
He is the chap who helps support
our churches and charitable organiza.
tions and talks for your home town
and boosts for it every day in the
year.
He is the chap who visits you
when you are sick sends flowers to
your family when you die. and fol-
lows your body out among the trees
and tombs as far as human feet may
travel with the dead.
He is the home merchant, your
neighbor your helper in time of need.

tional Negro organizations
present.
Labor Issue Recognized.
Most encouraging of all,
there is recognition that the
dominant question before the
Negro Race is that Of Labor.
AS Dean Miller said:
"The Negro group is essentially a
labor group, therefore the labor issue
is the most important issue before
the Race"
Dean Miller said this to a labor
reporter before the first session, held
yesterday afternoon, and he said it
again when a delegate from the
Workers Party, Lovett Fort-White-
man, arose and asked him whether
Labor would be discussed.
Daily Worker An Issue.
An implied objection to recognition
of the international character of the
labor movement came from the con-
sentative wing at the afternoon ses-
sion when a representative from a
Louisville theological seminary asked
rather sharply if the DAILY WORK
ER's report that the convention
would adopt resolution for the re-
cognition of Soviet Russia was true.
He was promptly corrected by Mr..
johnson, National Odd Fellows Sec
rotary, who said that he had read the
DAILY WORKERS story and that it
did not state that such a resolution
was going thru but only that it would
20 thru if the labor elements pro-
gram was adopted. Copies of the
DAILY WORKER, the only Chicago
daily to report this important con-
vention, were bought eagerly by dele
gates.
Dean Miller, in conversation with
newspapermen, showed himself SYM
pathetic to Russian recognition. He
went further. Tho not classed as a
radical he is sociologist, and very
frankly declared that it was only
common sense that labor should re-
ceive all it produced, and that it pro-
duced all.
The real test of the convention
will begin this morning. Most of
yesterday was taken up with the ap-
pointment of committees and other
preliminary work and the evening
was given over to a public reception
at the Vincennes Hotel.
Committees Will Be Permanent.
On the wisdom shown in selecting
committeeman will depend the value
Of the united front congress, for it
is very probable that the convention
will decide to continue the commit
tees as permanent committees or
commissions to function for the
Negro race until the next congress.
