and information Of the women workers
90 that intelligent planning may pre-
cede the beginning q che actual or
ganizing campaign. Organizations in
terested have pledged themselves to
designate organizers to cooperate un-
der a1eader to be supplied BY the
American Federation 81 Labor.
There Is nothing spectacular or un-
usual about this undertaking. It Is
intelligent response to, q compelling
mood. Organizations concerned with
the problem viii expend resources and
energies because of the beuefIts Of s
collective movement
The trade union movement believes
that men and women employed in
industries should be organized alike
| and the small number Of organized
women is irrefutahle proof that spec
ial attention must be given to organic
ine them. To meet the problem q
number Of conferences have been held
which, during the sessions Of the At
lantie City convention, resulted in def
inife commitments to the plan as OUT
lined.

The Culinary workers appealed y
the Central Labor council several
weeks ago for assistance in adjusting
the difficulties with the Peerless
club, and President Brackinreed direc-
ted the grievance committee to take
the matter up with the management.
The committee interviewed the man
ager who in turn took the matter up
with the directors of the club. The
grievance committee called on the
manager the second time and was in
formed that the directors had refused
to recognize the wishes of the culinary
workers. f
It is understood that members of

and for that reason a satisfactory
agreement could not be reached.

MIlK INSPECTION
MEASURE HELD UP
TO make Change
Final Passage Expected At
Next Meeting Of City
Commission.


HOQUIAM, Nov. 49, fSpecial) =
The city comnission found It impos-
sible 70 take final action on the milk
inspection measure, at Its meeting
Wednesday, on account Of tie adoption
Of an amendment eliminating . clause
to license ali trucks used for deliver
ing milk. Commissioner G. F. Hill,
said to have been the stumbling block
to passage Of the measure, declared
that he would not oppose passage Of
the neasure next week.
This measure has been before the
city commission for several months,
and the assurance was given to a
group OF about 10 women, represent
ing various w0men's clubs Of jHo-
quiam, that final disposition would be
made at the next meeting City
Attorney James P II. Callahan ex-
plainad that under the commission
form of government it was impossible
to pass any ordinance save il the
form in which it had been read ct q
meeting one week previously. This
will give opportunity for the com.
mission to hear any views on the bill
in its final form. he said.
Although declaring after adoption
of the amendment that he had no OBJ
jections to its passage, Commissioner
C. r. Hill took part il = discussion
which grew warm at times, with the
visiting club delegates over the merits
of the bill a 8 whole He stated that

8. Bread combine. 2H
In all Of these cases combinations
are alleged. In addition are:
& Great railroad mergers.
5. Super power mergers.
g. Banking mergers.
While Congress has ordered railroad
mergers, there is no doubt that some
contemplated mergers may run coun-
ter the Anticipated Sherman law.
Mergers Have Dangerous Feature
But perhaps the most dangerous
feature Of present proposed combina-
tions or mergers is the practice Of
mortgaging the whole previous face
value of the combined OF merged cor
porations and the issuance of non-vot-
ing stock as shares in the mortgage,
these non-voting shares being sold to
investors who thus own but do not
control.
Organized labor has demanded re-
peal of anti-combination laws in order
that natural economic processes may
continue. This means monopoly But
labor has demanded that if there be
monopoly there be democratic meth
ods of control within the indutry.

The war between the majority and
minority has reached the point where
the two sides are firing statements at
each other through the newspapers.
Business Backs Majority
/ The organs of Big Business support
the majority. The minority struggles
against a double handicap, being
faced with the inevitable trend toward
combination and having no place to
turn to find an effective means Of con-
trolling or curbing destructive or un-
] fair practices. It is bowling vigor-
! ously up the wind:
Meanwhile the organization Of mer-
gers continues, with the inside groups
continuing to gather in the tight little
groups of voting stock, while the
great groups of small investors buy
shares in mortgages-representing
capitalization to the limit-with0ut
any voice in the control.

Greeting By Pres. Frank Johnson

Teachers, members of the school board. parents, and friends, it has long been the custom of the school, that, as president of the graduating class. I come before you this eve ming and extend to you most cordial welcome to these exercises. This Is, no doubt. our last social gathering before we graduate. We have all passed through three years in the Senior High School success fully, and I sincerely hope that we will never forget the happy days spent here.
 "'Out of school life into life's school,' Is the motto chosen by the members of this class. It is a very good one indeed. The very words in themselves suggest much. It is true that we are going out of school life and. though we regret 1t with a sad heart. we feel that we have learned much since entering. Into life's school could not be worded any better and yet bring out the mean- ing more clearly. We will have many problems to solve and many more 'ossons to learn. As we leave this school some of us will seek admis- sion to institutions of higher learn ing, while others will go out into business and homes and apply what we have already learned.
 But now we must turn to the more trivial matters of the program. [ am sure you will enjoy what is to follow and I hope that the class night exercises Of the Mid Year Class of 1925 will be ever a pleasant memory to you.

"We are becoming world leaders, not because we arc rich or powerful but because our government is based on certain prin- ciples which have been a long time In the making-ideals toward which the people of tho world are looking.
 The world war has freed us from autocratic empires. Four great dy- nasties have fallen and In thelp places have grown eight nations held together by ideailsm."
 He spoke of tho influence of ths United States In world affairs.

The president of another small country came from Nebraska and the leading political party calls itself 'Tammany Hall"
 ''In 1913 the world was run by eight Ereat powers: six of them were monarchies. Only three of these monarchies remain. They are Italy. Great Britain and Japan. The Rom. anoffs, the Hapsburgs and the Ho- henzollerns have passed from the stage forever. The only autocracy left is in Japan.
 Why Conservatives Swept Elections.
 within six weeks from October to December in 1924 the stage of the world was set for the next four or five years by general elections in three great nations, United States. England and Germany. If you will
