GREEN APPEALS
FOR PORTO RICO

Washington, d. G. (ILNS)-Presi-
dent William Green, of the American
Federation of Labor, has addressed
an appeal to President Hoover in be-
half of the people of Porto Rico,
which says in part as follows:
81 wish to call your attention to
the plight of our fellow-citizens of
Porto Rico in regard to the present
nationwide unemployment situation
and to the relief measures to be put
into execution by the federal govern
ment for the benefit of all American
citizens. In urging that those meas
ures be extended fully. to Porto Rico
| am not only complying with the
recommendations of the convention of
the American Federation of Labor,
but also with my feeling of moral re-
sponsibility, which | know you share,
towards the Porto Rican people.
Reports issued by the governor of
Porto Rico, as well as by labor organ
izations in the island present such a
deplorable picture of conditions there
that it seems of greatest urgency that
the benefit of emergency relief meas
ures be extended to Porto Ricans on
basis of equality with other Amer
leans"

MIDDLE CLASS"
PASSING, SAYS
N. Y. MERCHANT
"Fast Becoming Nation of
Capitalists and LabOrers," "
Says Avedon, Explaining
Failure of Once Prosper
Gus Store.

New York City (ILNS)-That big
stores must take their choice between
catering to a working class or
wealthy class, with fast disappear
ing middle class, is the opinion ex-
pressed by A. J. Avedon, of Ave-
don's, Fifth avenue Avedon, in an
interview copyrighted by the Fair
child News Service, tells why his
store, thought to be doing we'll, was
forced to quit business. He explains
that he was catering to a class of
buyers that is disappearing. This
merchant says 1--WE are fast becoming
a nation of capitalists and laborers."
At its peak in 1925 Avedon's did
bushes samounting to $2,000,000. Of
his failure Avedon says:
Retailers selling our grade of
goods catering to a middle class
clientele have been suffering largely
because the middle class throughout
the United States are being likewise
pressed to make both ends meet We
are fast becoming a nation of cap
italists and laborers. All our wealth
and buying power are concentrated in
these two classes. The large edu-
Gated tender-footed white-colar mid
die class that would rather push
pen than spade have barely enough
for the necessities of life.
"Any store catering chiefly to this
class must of necessity suffer with
them. And conversely, any store
catering to the laboring classes or the
very wealthy classes is doing we'll.
Several excellent Illustrations of sue
| cessful stores catering to the latter
class are Saks-Fifth Avenue, Berg
dorf- Goodman, Best's. Klein's and
Ohrbach's on Fourteenth street are
outstanding illustrations of the first
class. And, what has been going on
in this city, we imagine, will soon take
place out of town, if it hasn't already.
Here and there one may find ex-
ceptions to this rule, but it is ex-
planned by some characteristic of the
store, or some special circumstance
prevailing in the town or sectino. One
very outstanding exception of success
in ready-to-wear that must come to
everyone's mind is Macy's. They are
neither a Saks-Fifth Avenue nor
Klein Fourteenth Street, but the his
tory, the policy and the background
of the stores will easily explain their
success.
"Our conclusion and advice to
other retailers, therefore, is to enter
! either one field or the other, the very
| low-priced or the very exclusive,
whichever you are best suited for, or
else the sheriff will surely get you as
he got u.s."

Summary and Digest Of

The United States will be the first
