To the business genius Of Mr..
Shedd was credited large measure
of the success behind the growth OF
Marshall Field & Co. from Chicago's g
biggest store" in the 70's to the
rank of the largest wholesale and
retail dry goods house in the world
in the present decade. To Mr.. Shedd
was generally credited the business
creed which developed the store to
an enterprise employing close to
$4,000 persons. with record OF
having served more than O.OO0
customers in single day.
The essence of his formula for
success is found in small framed
card which hung in Mr.. Shedds Of
flee. 1t was clear, concise and
definite statement Of what he wish
ed all his co-workers might aspire tc
in their business life. 1t mentioned
courtesy, diligence, punctuality, sin
cerity, and concluded with the sum

He is the greatest merchant II

Field once declared.
That title had been conferred BY
the business world upon Mr.. Field
himself, but he disclaimed his righ'

boy.
I'VE have no policies" Mr.. Shedt
told an interviewer who made al
inquiry as to the secret OF the sue

BY LELAND oLDs.

Factory employment throughout the
country started 1925 more than $40
ahead of January 1925, according to
the monthly report of the U. S. depart
ment of labor. Factory payrolls were
nearly $40 ahead of the previous
year giving the average worker about
go more in weekly pay.
This gain was very unevenly dis
tributed, centering chiefly around the
automobile industry including aces
sorry plants and the manufacture of
electrical supplies and apparatus.
Probably most of this expansion was
based on demand stimulated by par
tial payment sales plans or on prepa-
rations to meet the cutthroat competi-
ton which is expected to develop
later in the year.
Most Industries Show No Gain.
Significant industries like slaughter
ing and meat packing, cotton, wool,
mems clothing, iron and steel, boots
and shoes, cement, lumber and rail-
road car building showed no gain over
January 1925. In fact all except iron
and steel reported drop in employ
ment compared with year ago.
The gain in employment from De-
cember to January was less than 10
while the total amohnt paid in wages
in January was 215e5 under December
and below that Of either February OF
March 1925. In spite Of the gain the
January employment level was 90

FIGHT FOR REAL
union DRIVE
Take Steps to Organize
Non-Union Workers

BOSTON, Mass, March IS. - The
Central Labor Union recently held a
special meeting to lay plans for an
organization drive thruout Boston and
vicinity. Various plans and proposals
were presented. Among these was a
resolution by l. Freedman of Up
holsterers' Union Local 81 which
made the following demands:
1. Election of a joint organization
committee representing all branches
Of the labor movement, in the city
and state.
2. Campaigns to be concentrated
especially on the unorganized indus
tries and sections of the, workers,
such as the textile industry, the shoe
industry, the metal industry. the
Negro workers, women workers, and
the young workers, thru special or
ganizers in each of these fields, thru
publicity campaigns in the centers
where these unorganized workers are
ound, thru the revival Of central
bodies in towns and localities where
Organization campaigns are proposed
and the distribution Of leaflets and
literature encouraging unorganized
workers to join the unions.
3. Collection from each union thru
out the city and state Of money for
an organization drive fund, to cover
the cost Of this campaign.
After an interesting discussion,
these proposals were unanimously ac-
cepted. II was decided at this meet
ing to arrange for a big mass meeting
to be held on April II at Faneuil Hall.
On this day all unions are to march
en- masse to the center mentioned
above. Dispute arose over the ques-
ton of lowering the initiation fees in
connection with the organization cam
paign. Again the left wingers took the

ers' Union Local 81 led the fight for
lower dues and showed that It was
impossible to conduct a successful or
ganization campaign without this fea-
ture. The officials then contended Il
was not advisable to Interfere in the
internal affairs of the various local
unions and thus tried to dodge the
issue. During the campaign the left
wing locals in Boston are planning
10 throw all the energy into the effort
to organize the unorganized.

handing reinstatement of three dis
charged knitters and consideration Of
grievances by employers with COM
mittee of the workers. The firm had
been putting two helpers between
them and effecting general wage
cut in this way. The union demands
reimbursement so that there will be
only one helper to every five footers.
The firm refused to deal with organ

w h y Should Workers
Lose Their Wages When
a Firm Goes Bankrupt?

NEW YORK, March 15.- The Pa
tricia Leather Goods company went
bankrupt and as a result the workers
lost one weeks wages. The day that
wages were to have been paid the
company handed each worker a check
instead Of the cash and were told not
to come to work until further no
tice.
A few days after they had given us
the checks they came back and we
then learned that the company had
gone bankrupt. We then went to the
Offices Of the. International Pocket
book Workers local and asked for
aid in collecting our wages. We were
told to turn our checks over to the
union lawyer.
A number of weeks have passed
and as yet we hear nothing about the
checks. The workers should demand
thru their union that proper safe
guards be made so that workers will
not lose their wages when any COM
pany feels that it wants to go bank

Philadelphia Grave
Diggers on Strike;
Demand Higher Wages

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March 15.-
Grave diggers at the Holy Cross Gem
etery here are on strike for an in
crease in wages from 81 to Sc per
grave. On being interviewed one Of
the grave diggers said: 1.-THE priests
tell us all about what we are going to
get when we are dead. We don't want
it then; we want it now"
Several undertakers said unless an
agreement is reached soon the vaults
will be filed with bodies. There are
about 80 in. the vaults already. This
would be good chance for the Jesus
screaming grafters to go to work, for
while the priests were handing out
their dope they could dig the holes at
the same time. This is hardly thought
likely, as an, employment agency has
been hired to furnish scabs to take
the places Of the strikers.

that capitalism, instead Of being at

Communists contend, has not yet

When Wages Slashed

DETROIT, March 15.-Sixty unor-
ganized men walked out of the local
plant Of the Paige Motor Co. as a
protest against a further 5 per cent
cut in their starvation wages. To
their demands the boss merely told
them to take it or leave it," looking
out the window as he said this in the
company's employment Office where
hundreds were lined up. The other
so did not dare to quit. They return
ed to the bench, marked men, for they
will be discharged as soon as substi-
tutes can be procured.
Working conditions are bad. SAM
tation is not attended to. The men
get but thirty minutes to eat their
lunch, sitting on the greasy benches
or at the machine.
