THE ANSWER

An Interesting Subject for

We have been cudge1ing our

proceed in the matter to be
discussed here.
It is said that, "A Tale speeds

this matter when the story can
be told in a few words and IN
small space and thus save this
large expenditure for the benefit
of the buyers.
We would like to prove that
our theory in this matter is cor
rect for it means quite a big
saving to the general public
Now here is the story:
We are compelled to move
from our present business loca-
tion ITO 18th St. NV. in a verv
short time. Our new store on
l1th St. is not ready and will not
be entirely ready for occupancy
by the time we must vacate our
present quarters, so we must
sell off this stock or store i, at
least a good portion Of it.
Factory Cost for the instruments
We have here at 111o 18th st.

Coolidge Stands Firm.

Incidentally, it was learned today
that Ambassador Hougfton urged
President Coolidge to- change the
Governments policy on the floating
of certain loans. but that Mr..
Coolidge did not treat the suggestion
with favor and reiterated his posi-
ton in unequivocal terms.
The fact that the President is in
sistent on the execution of the policy
and that it may affect his attitude
toward domestic legislation which
may be construed abroad as n
parallel case of Government aid to
an export farm monopoly. may be
taken as having an important bear
ing on farm legislation at this ses-
sion of Congress.

GARI'S ANTI.UNION
SHOP IS SLAVERY
FOR ALL LABOR

~
NEW YORK. June %. The recent
statement By Judge Gary, chairman
Of the U. S. Steel Corporation, that
employers in the United States gen
orally stand for @fair and liberal
treatment Of employees" uphold tha
"open shep which permits man to
work whenever and wherever he IS
disposed and can agree with the en-
ployer," and "insist labor should re-
ceive proper and adequate compensa-
tion." receives the following castiga-
tion in the Upholsterers' Journal, the
o. o..pcial organ Of the Upholsterers' IN
ternational Union:
"The open shop is scab shop
where workers are at the complete
mercy Of the unscrupulous employers.
No one knows this better than the
thousands Of steel workers who even
today are among the worst exploited
il the land. The man or woman who
works in the open shop works when
ever the employers say so and for
wages and conditions prescribed BY
the employers. Such wage earners
have no alternative but to accept the
conditions offered because to do other
wise means to face starvation.
|When did Judge Gary or any Of
his crew INSIST that labor receive
proper and adequate compensation :
We defy him to quote single in
stance. No steel worker receives an
adequate compensation. None have
ever been consulted IS to the matter.
They have to take Or leave whatever
is offered them.
"Gary and hts associates, far from
insisting on adequate compensation,
have gone 50 far as to wreck the
inter-church movements drive for
funds when . COMMITTEES Of that body
dared to take sides with the unfor-
tunate steel employees and helped
bring to public attention tha un-C Chris
tian methods Of the steel barons.

ELECTRIC USE GAINS

The importance Of electrical power
in the industrial life Of the nation is
indicated by the United States Geo
graphical Survey, which reports that
public utility power plants now have
capacity Of 23,83e,0O0 kilowatts.
The 1924 capacity was 1890, 900. and
that Of 1928 was 1880 900.
The growth in power-generating ca
pacity has accompanied Increasing de-
mand for current from two sources:
first, from industrial plants, and sec
ond, from households.
The increased use Of electricity in
industries is regarded as one Of the
signs Of increasing manufacturing ac-
tivity.
The increased use OF electricity in
the household Is an indication Of ris-
ing standards Of living and comfort.
Each year more homes are being
wired for electricity. Also the num-
Der Of household labor-saving devices
run BY electricity Is increasing. -Edi-

COOPERATION FEEDS
BRITISH MINERS

One million British miners, beaten
back to the pits, would be toiling for
an average Of $11 week today were
It not for the cooperative movement.
But backed by 5000, 600 fellow work
erS organized not only in their trade
unions but also in Cooperative Whole
sale, Society and Cooperative Union.
thedminers are being given the
strength to resist the starvation
level wage reductions by supplies
of food in generous quantities from
the coop societies.
The Cooperative Union at its recent
Belfast convention voted levy on
all members for the immediate as
sistanee Of the miners, while coopera-
tive officials in attendance voted $2,-
500 for. immediate relief work. The
assistance, coming in from hundreds
of societies, means not only that the
miners can hold out until the British
coal owners capitulate, but that after
the lockout is over, a huge increase
in cooperative membership will re-
suit
The miners Of South Wakes, facing
destitution after nearly two months
of lockout, are perhaps in the most
desperate condition Of all. Dozens
of cooperative societies in the mar
row valleys and the grimy villages are
doing their utmost to improve feed
ing arrangements. and in some areas
have entered into contracts with the
unions to take over relief work.
At Cardiff, shipping center Of South
Wales, the depot Of the Cooperative
Wholesale Society has sent out huge
quantities Of cereals to the areas af-
fected. Biscuits and tea are furnish
ing an important part Of the strikers
diet, and the cooperative biscuit fac
tory at Cardiff is consequently rush
ed with orders. In the Rhondda Val
ley, where mining is the sole occupa-
tion, the cooperatives are the only
centers Of hope in the widespread
misery. Many societies have opened
soup Kitchens and food depots on
their own premises, while limited
credit is being advanced by the
stronger co-ops.

REAL WAGES MEAN
PURCHASING POWER

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June &c.
Economists build up their theories
Of the real meaning of wages on
figures based on wages and what was
purchased with them over a period
of years, but wage earners build up
their ideas of real wages on what they
can purchase at the time, regardless
Of what they night have purchased in
the past" says the Railroad Train
man.
Wage workers are not much in
clined to study statistics. The mar
ket price and how far wages win 60
into them is about as far as the
average worker has the patience to
60. But when both have reached their
final conclusions the economists and
the wage worker do not differ as
much as might be expected"
