STILL UNFAIR

The grievances of the Retail Gro
cery Clerks against the Kroger and
A. & P. stores have not been adjust
ed. The clerks want all their union
brothers and sisters and friends to
know these circumstances and to act
accordingly. They ask all union
families and their friends to with
hold patronage of these stores until
the firms agree to deal justly with
their employees. Most all other gro
Gerry stores in the city display the
union card, and they alone are entitled
to the trade of organized labor. Re-
member your obligation, is the word
of the union clarks. Remember your
friends-those who recognize union
labor. Buy your groceries at a union
store.

agreement to abstain from using
poisonous gases on it's declaration of
war, the general agreement would be
automatically nullifed."

BUY UNION LABEL BREAD

There is no excuse for any union
man or his family buying, scab bread
or pastries when all the bakeries in
Hamilton, with the exception of one,
employ union bakers and use the
union label on their products. Why
buy scab bread or other baked goods,
of whose making and surroundings
you know nothing, when you can buy
baked goods and bread bearing the
union label-a guarantee that they
are made in clean, sanitary shops?
Watch for the union label on all
bread and other baked goods. Buy
only Hamilton baked goods and help
the employer who is helping your own
fellow worker by keeping him on the
job

Trades Unions

Willimantic, Conn.-The building
trades unions of this state assisted
striking textile workers to erect their
tent colony in compliance with drastic
health regulations by Willimantic
municipal officials.
The $500 workers are on strike
against 10 per cent wage reduction,
although the company reported sur

plus last year Of 81 200, 900 after all
charges and dividends were paid.
When the company evicted the work
ers from company houses they started
tent colony, but the Willimantic
board of health hampered them in
every way possible It was then that
the building trades unions offered
their services and these workers pitted
their sanitary knowledge against city
officials who suddenly awakened to
the need for the most minute enforce
ment of the sanitary code.
There has been no law violation by
pickets, but the state constabulary,
with their machine guns, would create
the impression that Willimantic is
threatened by invading host.
The attitude of certain judges is
indicated by one court permitting a
company lawyer to harangue group
of strikers who were assembled in this
temple of justice. The lawyer told
the strikers that if they did not re-
turn to work their benefits would be
confscated
Officials Of the company have gone
to Dalton, Georgia, where oneNof their
mills is located, to secure strike
breaking assistance. The Georgia
Federation of Labor quickly acquaint-
ed southern workers of the facts.
The American Federation of Labor
has informed the entire trade union
movement of this strike. The COM
pany's purpose is not only to lower
wages but to destroy the United Tex
tile Workers of America.

DOLLARS BUYING POWER

The purchasing power of the dollar
compared with 1913 now stands at
65. At this time last year it stood
at SO cents, and at this time in 1928
it stood at "a.
When prices rise the purchasing
power of the dollar falls, for it will
then not buy the same amount of
commodities as when prices are lower.
In 1913, it is assumed, that the
purchasing power of the dollar was
at 100. At the present time it's
standing at 65 means that dollar
spent now will purchase what 65 cents
would have purchased in 1913.
In reckoning the purchasing power
of the dollar it is necessary to find
how far in point of percentage the
general price level stands above the
year which is used as base of COM
parison. In this computation the
price figure taken is the index of
wholesale prices compiled by the de-
partment of labor at Washington.
Before the dollar could be brought
back to purchasing power of 100
it would be necessary for the genera,
wholesale prices level to drop about
35 per cent below its present position.

THE BOON OF PROHIBITION
"The recent sultry, oppressive
weather serves to illustrate the great
boon of prohibition" remarks the Will
mington, Delaware, Labor Herald,
which goes on to say:
prior to 1918 the worker, his shirt
turned down at the collar, would have
found pleasant relief from such
weather in the quaffng of cold beer,
under revolving fan and enjoying
the good fellowship of fellow workers.
Now, thanks to prohibition, he does
MT have to put up with such iniquity.
Beer has been replaced with horri-
BILE fiat-tasting concoction, near beer,
far more infiammatory to the man ac-
customed to drinking beer than the
most potent hooch A sip of this
near beer has been known to sink a
man to such depths of despair and
disgust that he has been heard to
curse the institution of prohibition.
"The man with the taste for beer
cares little for liquor. His is a
harmless habit, and he is fully aware
of it. Subsequently, his disapproval
of prohibition, especially when he
looks about and sees the ease with
which colored alcohol, synthetic gin,
carbolic acid Scotch, ETC., can be
bought.
Prohibition seems to have little
effect on the sale of these poisons-
but beer, that's something else again.
The whole business lends credence to
the definition that a prohibitionist is
one who dislikes to see anyone enjoy
ing himself or be comfortable"

LESSON OF ECONOMY

Autumn Coats Tendency to Flare
BY MARY MARSHALL.

The way to keep warm nowadays,
according to the preference Of most
we'll dressed women, is to wear warm
coats. Winter and Summer, Fall and
Autumn, lingerie varies not. 1t is not
half ounce heavier in February than
1t is in August. With many women

wearing them until they wear cut or
are out of fashion. Our coats alone
vary according to the temperature.
In warmest Summer we wear a coat
of georgette weighing almost nothing
at all. On cooler days in Summer
there are coats of satin or crepe. For
Autumn and Fall there are coats of
kasha and other lightweight woolens.
Heavier wooden materials fill the bill
for cooler days, and in severe weather
there are furS and feathers. That at
least is the fashionable way of the
day.

Chairs for Dining Room.

When the function of eating was
first taken out Of the kitchen, anG
a special dining room was designed
for the purpose, there was nothing
to guide folks in it's furnishings eX-
cept the formal banquet hall. And
the dining room has never quite got
ten over this baptism of formality.
1t Is not easy to introduce other
furniture into the dining room to
remedy it's stiffness, but the room
can be made homelike, livable, and
even hospitable, very largely through
a sensible choice of chairs.
The first thing is to emancipate
yourself from the idea of a dining
room set" Desirable set-combina-
tions can be purchased, all right. but
seldom in the moderate priced furni-
ture. Here durability, for the
money, gets the principal emphasis.
Chair strength is secured by a stand
ardiZed style, with back posts run
ming in straight line through to the
floor. Stiffness of one kind Is aimed
at. but accomplished in overwhelm-
ing measure. And what makes it
worse, of course, is the custom of
having all chairs alike.
One helpful variation is 10 have
five chairs alike, with one armchair
for the head of the table. II then
only four chairs are left in the
dining room this large one makes
quite break in the painful resu-
larity of things.
Another idea is to get curves into
your dining room chairs. Some of
the Windsors are particularly at
tractive on this score, and also be-
cause they come with an informal
and very comfortable rush bottom.
A box seat in a dining room chair
is usually a sign of quality, and also
of comfort. Leather and the tapes
tries make the best coverings for
these.
Dining chairs above all others
should be thoroughly well construct
ed. The strains put upon them when
people are moving, up TO the table,
and also in getting away from it,
are particularly hard on the joinery.
For this reason only the very hard
woods are suitable.
And no matter how elegant or

What Tomorrow Means to You

new venture that requires either the
one or the other should be postponed

The day is in a sense a day of rest
for the mind, and the mind needs it
just as much as the body. The pre-
vailing influences will especially favor
your home and family relationship
and will engender the emotions of af
fection and appreciation. Do not at
tempt to hide these feelings. Let
them have full, sway

and attain its majority without any

the consequences. 1t will be daring
both physically and mentally: impul-

sense of the word can you be classed
as failure. Your mind is inherently
unable to grasp situation quickly,
and your whole mental attitude be-

meticulously careful and painstaking,
although lacking in originality of
thought or in creative power.
The signs denote that you are better
qualified to fill a subordinate position
than one that calls for executive abb

not very great, and you are quite
