DON CHAFIN HEADED
FOR FEDERAL PRISON

RICHMOND, Va, Va, May 7.--Don
Chafin, the murder-loving chief of
Logan county mine guards, at last ap-
pears to be in line to receive his re-
ward for his long list of crimes in the
service of West Virginia mine bosses.
The United States Circuit Court Of
Appeals here has upheld the sentence
of two years in prison and a $4,000
fine imposed in Huntington last Oc-
tober by Judge McClintic, and not
withstanding notice of appeal to the
United States Supreme Court, it looks
as if the erstwhiIe murder chieftain
must pay the fiddler.
Chafin was convicted, while sheriff
of Logan county, for conspiracy "to
violate the national prohibition act
by making and carrying into effect
an agreement to open and maintain
a place for the sale of intoxicating
liquors"

SENATOR WHEELER MUST
STAND TRIAL IN CAPITOL;
ON CONSPIRACY CHARGE

WASHINGTON, D. c.. May T.
Senator Burton K. Wheeler, who was
acquitted BY Jury in . Federal
court It Great Falls, Mont. last week,
on a charge of unlawfully using his
influence as Senator before the De-
partment Of the Interior, to defraud
the Government in oil land permits,
must stand trial in the District of
Columbia, according to a statement
just issued by the Department of JUS
tice.
The fact that Senator Wheeler was
acquitted in Montana has no con-
elusive bearing in the case brought
against him in the District of Colum-
bia, it was said. The two cases are
separate, and different witnesses will
be called. The Government is ready
to go to trial, and the date of the
trial will depend upon the court
docket. As was the case in Montana
it win be a jury trial.
Senator Borah, of Idaho, who was
chairman of the special Senate COM
mittee which investigated the charges
against Senator Wheeler last year,
and which exonerated Wheeler, broke
his silence regarding the case by
saying that the verdict of the Mon
itana jury twas to be expected" He
said no reliable evidence had been
placed before the court and the jury
in that case which had not been before
the Senate committee, and that none
of the evidence showed criminality on
the part of Senator Wheeler. al,
Senator Thomas J.. Walsh, Wheel
er's colleague in Montana, announces
he will carry on the fight to clear
Wheeler, and that his next step will
be to file q demurrer against the in
dictment in Washington. f

FIRST OF CHAIN STORES TO SELL
UNION GOODS OPENS in CHICAGO

CHICAGO, May 7.--After many
months of agitation, education and
stock selling, the Union Label Stores,
Inc, of Chicago, of which Thomas j.
Curry, q union pressman, is the pres
ident, opened the first Of q proposed
chain of stores for the sale of ex-
clusively union-made merchandise.
The first store opened Is devoted
almost entirely to mems turnishings
and is located at 435 South Dearborn
street.
Saul Rubinstein, who is credited
with being one Of the best merchan-
disc experts in Chicago, is the man
ager of the new store.
Two Others to be Opened
Two other stores win be opened al
most Immediately, one on the north
side and another on the south side.
these latter stores will carry union
made clothing for both men and wo-
men.
It so happened that R. F. Paetz,
special representative Of Sweet-Orr q
Co., Inc, overall manufacturers, came
into the new store while the repre-
sentative of international Labor News
Service was there. Mr.. Paetz was
bubblnig over with enthusiasm con
eerning the new venture, and demon
strated goods and values and pros
poets for the future in a way that
1ripl essed one with the belief that this
Particular little store was the apple

N. Y. PAY ROLLS FOR
MAR. BEHIND LAST YEAR

ALBANY, N. Y, May Wages
paid out to factory workers in New
York state totalled $50, 300, 900 for the
week of March 18th, according to an
estimate based on reports covering
40 per cent of the employees of the
state. This is 81, 100000 less than in
March, 1924, the month before the
lsat phase of the recession in indus
try. The per cent gain over Febru-
ary followed the holiday in that
month. Seasonal increases were the
other factors in the improvement,
chiefly in automobiles, clothing and
building materials. This statement
was issued by Industrial Commission
er James A. Hamilton.
Average earnings show an increase
in the year to year comparison, how
ever, as the loss in employment was
proportionately greater. Weekly
earnings for March averaged $28.46,
30 cents more than q year ago, and
are above January and February when
inventory and holidays cut into the
amount received by the workers. Men
received $31.45 while women were paid
an average of $3.50. Average earn
ings are computed by dividing weekly
payrolls in the reporting factories by
the number at work and are used to
relate payrolls to employees. They do
not represent the wages actually re-
ceived by factory workers.

BIG BUSINESS THWARTS
III TRUST INVESTIGATION

WASHINGTON, D. c., May r.
Efforts of the Federal Trade Commits
sion have been successfully thwarted
for five years by % steel corpora
tipns with a total capitalization of
1--we billion dollars. These compan-
les have refused to answer question
naires presented by the commission,
which was attempting to ascertain
the cost of production, manufacture
and sale of steel, iron, coke, and 9TH
er minerals and by-products.
The refusal was made in 1920, and
the Trade Commission appealed to
the Attorney General and persuaded
him to bring the corporations into
court. The corporations countered
with injunctions, and the case has
jumped from court to court until a
few days ago the United States Su-
preme Court continued the case un-
til next November or possibly long
er.
The steel corporations are not the
only concerns which have fatty refus-
ed to permit the Federal Trade Com
mission to look into their business.
The coal industry also was ordered
to answer questionnaires, but they
adopted the steel mems tactics and
enjoined the commission.

at 95 cents which, he said, retailed
ia many other stores at 81 2j, and
oyeralls at 81 9h, which retailed else
where at 1925 eEd upward.
Paetz Predicts Success
"This store is going TO succeed"
said Mr.. Paetz, because 1T is founded
on sound business principles. In the
first place, budget system has been
adopted, and in the second place there
isn't 3 better merchandise man in
Chicago than Mr.. Rubinstein. The
trouble with a lot Of stores similar
TO this one has been that good me-
chanics have tried to operate them.
These mechanics were sincere and
honest, but they didn't understand
merchandising"
Quality First ConsideratinO
Mr.. Rubinstein, the manager, said
that III sfirst consideration in buying
goods to place on the shelves was as
to quality, and that merch.ldise
offered to him had to have a better
recommendation than the mere fact
that it bore the union label. The
quality of the goods on display in the
store substantiates this assertion, for
every article bears the unmistakabIe
stamp of "class" and quality, plus she
union label
The store is being operated just the
same as any other merchandising en-
terprise of it's kind, with the excep-
ton that all goods sold must be
strictly union made. g

DEFEAT LABOR LAW;
AND BREAK PLEDGES
b JOSEPH A. WISE

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE Republi-
can majority in the Illinois House Of
Representative decorated itself with
infamy by voting down organized la
bor's injunction limitation bill, Re-
publican platform measure, and the
woman's eight-hour bill, both on the
same day. fnef4 gga
The vote on the injunction Iinita-
tion bill, introduced by Representa-
tive R, G. Soderstrom, union printer,
of Streator, was a decisive rundown
for the measure for the second time
during the present session Of the Leg
islature. The members Of the House
ducked a vote on the woman's eight
hour bill by voting for the Republican
floor. leaders motion to adjourn after
making the slaughter of the. injunc-
ton limitation bill the sport Of a Ro-
man holiday.
'Kahkakee Platform" IndOrsed
When the Republican State conven-
tiOn met at Springfield about a year
ago.. the 1,700 jackasses comprising
the convention stood up on their hind
legs and brayed their heads off for
the inclusion of Gov. Len Small's
famous "Kankakee platform" as
part Of the party declaration of prin-
ciples. @uH UalN. A
The s'Kankakee platform" made
a direct and unequivocaI pledge for
the enactment of law to curb the
power of the notorious injunction
judges with which this Z, State is
cursed.
Governor Small made his campaign
for denomination and reelection on
that pledge and obtained the, support
of organized labor because Of it.
These facts make the action of the
Republicans in the House an out
rageous betrayal of not only the
working people of Illinois, but Of the
Republican Party itself.

Anti-Labor Factor Ignored
Nothing is said in the commissions
report about the effect on profits of
the steel industry's anti-union, low
wage policy. The Commissions only
comment on the factors entering into
the industry's big profits was as
follows:
Capable management, or good
fortune, in investment and operation,
were apparently the major factors in
determipg the rate of profit, and they
rather than mere, size, were the char
acteristic elements of business sue
cess" f
The commissions report was based
on figures gathered during the war
period for use of the War Industries
Board and upon statistics for the 1920
operations Of the steel industry gath
cred under special authority of Con-
gress.
Steel Trust Rules Output
While the iron and steel industry
in this country is highly developed,
the report says, nearly half of the
total production is under the control
of the United States Steel Corpora
ton, which is also the principal fac
tor in each of the more important
branches of the steel industry. The
commission lists as next in size
among the steel companies the Beth
lehem Steel Corporation, which re-
Gently absorbe dtwo other large COM
panies, the Midvale Steel and Ord
nance Company, and the Lackawanna
Steel Company. MaL
In anaix xzing the cost figures in the
industry @khe commission . explained
that low costs of production do not al
ways correspond with high profit
rates, because low costs, the report
said, "may be the consequence of
comprehensive investment rather than
Of superior management"
Steel Firms in Four Groups
The steel companies covered in the
commissions survey, except the Unit
ed States Steel Corporation, were
placed in four groups, according to
the extent to which their operations
embraced the successive stages Of
steel production.
The first class, made up of steel
companies using chiefly their own
output of iron ore and coke, reported
average earnings for the 1915-1918
period of 21 8 per cent; the second
class, including companies beginning
operations with the making Of pig
iron, showed average profits of 24.5
per cent; the third class of compan-
les, beginning operations with manu-
facture of steel, reported average
profits of 1862 per cent, and Class 4,
companies beginning operations with
rolling of steel products, showed
