REOPENINC OF THE
LEONARD SHOP

The reopening Of the Leonard
Shop, 106 High street, Hamilton's
newest shop for women, which took
place last Saturday, proved a grand
success. Hundreds visited the pretty
shop throughout the day and evening
and many expressions of admiration
were heard of its handsome appoint
ments and the fine stock of women's
wearing apparel and millinery on dis
play.
1t will be remembered the store was
badly damaged in the fire which de-
stroyed the Ward cafe at Front and
High Since then the whole old stock
has been disposed of and an entire
new stock is now on display. The
store has been completely remodeled
and every bit of work possible to do
was done by union labor. This was
according to one of the stipulations
by l.. W. Dragul, manager, to the
contractors that the work must be
so done, and Mr. Dragul's orders were
carried out to the letter. The Leon
ard Shop is deserving of the patron
age of the families of union workmer.

FAR IN DISTANCE
Is Synthetic Era Prophesied
By Chemist

Williamstown, Mass. - Predictions
of synthetic era, in which chemis-
try will create substitutes for raw
material were not accepted by en-
gineers and mineralogists at the re-
cent meeting of the Institute of Poll
tics.
H. Foster Balm, former director OF
the bureau of mines, said chamists
are grasping at "fairy promises"
DIR. Balm warned the public against
being "lulled to sleep" by "false"
sense of security" as result Of the
theoretical possibility" of changes
outlined by chemists. Time for many
long wars and bitter years of troubled
peace, he said, remained before the
enormous needs o. modern industry
can be met by substitution for the
metals alone now used. He scoffed
at the "great era of substitution and
synthesis, which chemists predict.

the long time future on the skill of

FLANK ATTACK
Faced By Federal Health
Guarding Law

Washington-A flank movement
against the federal pure food law has
been launched, according to a state
ment issued by the department of
agriculture Opponents of this legis-
lation do not contemplate a direct at
tack on the law, but rather ''to water
it down and make its enforcement
more difficult"
One of these measures is the corn
sugar bill, which was considered by
the last congress. If this bill passes,
the statement says, its success prob
ably will be the forerunner of other
attacks on the integrity Of the pure
food law.
Twenty years ago, when the fed
eral food and drugs act was passed,
it was thought that the right of the
government to protect consumers
against the adulteration of foods and
drugs had been established once for
all Yet, today, that right is under
heavy fire.
Most people who recall the nation
wide controversy that preceded the
enactment of the 1906 act will recall
also the disclosures of food adultera-
tions made that time. In those days
thousands Of articles of food were
dangerously or fraudulently adulter-
ated.
Manufacturers generally want the
food and drugs act enforced. They
want it for the protection of the hon
est manufacturer as well as for the
protection Of the public. There is
only small group that desires to
profit by unfair competition. This
group, however, is active and not un-
influential. 1t is profting by the pre-
vailing drift against regulation"

the situation is clearing, according to
word received at national headquar-
tiers here. The grand jury of San
Francisco has in it's possession evi-
dence proving that the Builders Ex-
change, the Industrial Association and
the Building Material Dealers Asso-
citation are maintaining conspiracy
in restraint of trade. The evidence is
reported to be in form of affidavits fill
ed with the grand jury by Thomas
Doyle, acting secretary of the San
Francisco Building Trades Council
The affidavits are from scores of con-
tractors, property owners and others
who allege they have been denied the
right to buy building materials be-
cause union men are employed on the
jobs for which they desire the mate
rials.
The brotherhood is continuing its
fight against the tactics of the union
busters of San Francisco and will
wage the battle until victorious.
