BUYING FROM
AGENTS FOUND
TO BE COSTLY

It Is reported by the El Centre
Chamber of Commerce staff that
there were a number of telephone
calls at chamber headquarters
recently asking that the cham
Der do something" about the mems
suits which had been purchased
by local persons under misrepre-
sentation from house to house can
vassers. Robert Hays, manager of
the local chamber stated today.
I'VE cannot help but have an I
told you so attitude in this mat
ter, and, while we regret that some
residents Of this community have
lost money on this deal we can
not understand how business men
could sign up for these suits in
the first place"
The matter as explained to the
chamber is that some weeks ago a
man canvassed El Centre selling
two suits for S1875, payable by a
IS deposit and the remainder up
on delivery of the suits. After
patient waiting the suits have ar
rived in FL Centro, but turned out
to be "suit" rather than "suits"
for instead of two suits the pur-
chasers had received one suit, and
that, the chamber is informed, not
as represented
1t was learned that the receipts
given the purchaser are for SIS tt
apply on garments ordered, which
gives the purchaser no opportun-
ity to demand a refund. The fact
that the goods was ordered anc
paid for on delivery protects the
salesman through interstate COM
merce laws and does away with the
necessity of a sales license. There
fore, according to Hays, there seems
to be nothing the chamber can
90 about it.
''TThe chamber of commerce con-
stantly urges people to buy al
home" states Hays, mot only be-
cause the local merchant needs
their support, but because, as was
found in this case, If one buys from
the house to house seller and awaits
delivery Of the purchase by mail
he has no redress If the garment
is not as represented when it ar
rives. If one buys from a local
merchant and finds the garment
does not fit, or has some fault, he
can return it and the merchant
pleasantly refunds the purchase
price or sees that the customer
finds something to his liking to re-
place the original purchase. We re-
gret we cannot see purchasers OF
these suits reimbursed, but all we
can do is again urge that El Centro
people support their home mer-
chants and avoid dissatisfaction
and financial losses"

went about 1t in a methodical way,
and last night turned up indisput-
able evidence and obtained a con-
fession on the spot that his son had
entered the state of matrimonial
bliss Thursday afternoon OF last
week.
Don Campbell, "a, and Irene
Reed, 18, were married at Yuma
Thursday afternoon.
So might a newspaper item nave
read, but the newspapers were
jump behind the sheriff's office, so
the sheriff discovered it first. The
discovery resulted in a wedding
supper last night, when the sheriff
welcomed his newly acquired
daughter-in-law into the family
fold.
The former Miss Reed, native
of Oklahoma, had been residing
with her sister and brother-in-law,
Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Berthurun, at
Seeley. During recent illness she
nursed Don, and the sick room
acquaintance 5lossomed into matri-
mony when the couple eloped last
week They were able to keep their
marriage secret until last night.
Don Campbell is a native of I'm
perial Valley. He is graduate of
the Seeley grammar school and at
tended high school at Ell Centre,
later taking up fingerprint work
and securing his certificate from
the California division of the In
ternational Association for Identifi-
cation.
The couple will make their home
in Ell Centro.

Shoe Bosses, MIRA Aid
AFL Boot, Shoe Union
to Terrorize Workers

NEW YORK.-UnuSual activity is
being shown BY the defunct Boot and
Shoe Union in anticipation of the
MIRA. elections in the shoe shops
on January 2. Encouraged by the
National Labor Board and the shoe
bosses, these company agents have es-
tablished q slipper department headed
by the well known stool pigeon, Mike
Tesaro. Tesaro transported scabs to
the slipper shops during the recent
general strike led by the industrial
union.
Like the campaign of the fur bosses
last summer, the shoe bosses are
opening their doors to the Boot and
Shoe agents, who never before had
any foothold in the slipper industry
They are supplying addresses of the
workers to them. The agents call at
the homes of the shoe workers and
terrorize them into joining the union
Letters are mailed to the workers
telling them to report for jobs at
the Foot and Shoe office. A number
Of workers who answered these let
tiers out of curiosity were ushered
into the offices by the thugs and
compelled to fill out an application tc
join the Boot and Shoe Union.
Workers who tried to protest
against this terrorization at the N
r. A offices were refused hearing
this week.

NEW YORK.-After speaking for
an hour to craftily convince fifteen
hundred millinery workers of local "a
in Bryant Hall Thursday, that the
code recently adopted in the industry
is gain to them and not loss,
Alex Rose, secretary treasurer of the
union, rammed the N.R.A. decision
through with the brazen tatement
that:
1--WE are not here to reject the code
or to go out and strike against the
government. This code is already the
federal law of the United States and
you cannot fight against it."
The code calls for 351a hour week
at S110 an hour for blockers, 81 an
hour for cutters and operators, and
miIiners SIS cents, while the unions
agreement with the bosses, which
Rose promises" will not be replaced
by the code rates, calls for:
Cutters and operators ct piece work,
50 an hour; trimmers at piece work,
81 an hour; blockers $75 a week, ana
cutters and operators at week work,
$55 per week.
At the same time that Rose was
telling the workers to celebrate the
code, the bosses, ironically enough
were also celebrating the same code
at another meeting in New York
hotel
That the code rates viii immedi-
ately be substituted for the higher
rates in the union agreement, de-
spite all the smooth promises of Mr..
Rose and the president & the uniol,
ZaritzSky, was pointed out by the
opposition group.
The code calls for no overtime
except when authorized by the
Code Authority" and the Code Az
thOrity's decisions on overtime can
be readily foreseen when considera-

of the 10 on the committee are

Union officials, who, even if they
were to make the attempt, could
not vote the overtime down.
Wiseman, speaking from the floor
for the left opposition also pointed
out that zaritsky had stated last July
that he would lead a fight for q
30-hour week but had instead asked
the N.R.A. board at Washington for
IS hours and settled for 3712.
The dressmakers, said Wiseman
through their strong left opposition
in Local 8 of the International, had
forced IS hour week from the Mr.. A
The code was divided into four areas
throughout the country with Area A,
New York and New Jersey, paying
about 80 per cent more than Areas
B, C, D, throughout the country.
This unevenness in wage scale, II
was pointed out, meant the inevitable
attempt of the New York bosses to
batter down the local wage-rates on
the plea that they cannot compete
