The Allied Grocers is COM
posed of small business men
who banded themselves to-
gether in order to secure the
benefit of mass-buying. It is
composed of men who endeav-
ored to protect themselves from
the onslaughts of chain stores,
of men who understood the ne
cessity of cooperation, Of men
who had and have the welfare
of their home city at heart,
rather than the welfare of Mos

The local branch Tor rear

can be compelled to wear the
communist collar, be denied the
use of the city street or public
highway, NO firm is safe and I
am offering no defense of the
business practices of the Gam
ble-Robinson company. 1 am
merely stating an indisputable
fact:
That until the Gamble Robin
son company is declared by the
courts of this nation to be be-
yond the pale of its laws, the
Gamble Robinson company has
as much right to the use of pub
lie thoroughfares as any other
business firm or individual.

DUTIES OF GOVERNMENT
Cass Lake Times

A government which cannot

fic; which cannot protect its
citizens from interference while
they 60 about their daily tasks;
which asks it's citizens to keep
off the streets lest they arouse
the anger of a Estate within a
state" does not deserve the
name of government, nor is it
entitled to any respect or sup
port.

never had a dime he didn't
earn; a man whose gnarled and
toil-warped hands tell the story
of his battle for existence. Why,
there ism t a communist cur in
the world who's fit to lick
cold" Hemple's patched shoes.
He's as square as a die and as
clean as hounds tooth, yet
"labor," under the miasmatic
influence of communist agita-
tors dares class him as a "labor
hater." Ye gods!
The Morris Fruit company:
One of the squarest men on
commission row is "Big" Nor
ris Posnek. I've known him for
almost twenty years and if the
communist runts can show me
one man "Big" Morris ever
wronged, I'll eat the next edi-
ton of the "Daily Worker" al
though I hate the smell Of rot
ten garbage.
There are more destitute fam
lilies fed free every year and
W t h out advertising their
plight, from the Morris Fruit
company's stock, than the Ia
bor-communists throw slop to in
five years. Tell me something l
can believe, but l cannot be-
lieve, because I know better,
that the Morris Fruit company
hates any man who is forced to
eat bread in the sweat Of his
brow.
The Morris Fruit company,
like one hundred and sixty
other firms, refuses to allow the
communists to rivet the Moscow
yoke on their necks or nail the
soviet insignia over their door.
More power to them!
The G. Thomas Stores:
Ihave erode" the G. Thomas
store for more times than I care
to enumerate, but as 1 said in a
former issue, "until the laws OF
state and nation are changed to
forbid a chain store operating
it's trucks upon public street or
highway the chain store, G.
Thomas or any other, has a
right to operate its trucks un-
molested by communist pickets
and armed rufians.
What right has communist
controlled labor organizations
to say which firm shall and
which shall not send it's trucks
over street or highway? They
have no right and any attempts
to modest or stop such operation
is a CRIMINAL OFFENsE!
I hold no brief for chain
stores, but I have said and I re-
peat, that if it were not for the
patronage Of organized labor
the chain stores would fold up
and vanish from the picture.
Organized labor makes a
great hullabaloo about chain
stores; it processes to abhor and
detest them, but during the May
strike it secured its headquar.

FIRMS THAT DON BOW
TO COMMUNIST YOKE

ed by the blind burros OF the
labor movement plot their de-
struction. Have these United
States reached that stage where
no citizen can engage in legiti-
mate business without mourning
the hatred Of labor skates and
professional agitators? The Ia
Dor movement in this city hash t
a man in it the peer in cour-
age and manhood of the men
composing the American Fruit
& Produce company-and you
labor skates can figure that out
on a Ripley chart at your lei
sure.
The Bearman Fruit company:
The Bearman Fruit company
never spent thin dime with or
for Saturday Press. If the firm
ever read a copy some one made
them a present Of it, but that
doesn't indicate that the Bear
man Fruit company should be
forced to the financial wall by
a gang Of labor buccaneers
who'd scuttle hospital ship
for six bits in Russian kopeks
The Bearman Fruit company
has a right to engage in bust
ness in this or any other city.
It has a right to use the streets
and highways. 1t has a right
to employ one man or. one hum
dred men and to say what it's
wage scale shall be and who
it's employees shall be. There's
nothing in Bible or constitution,
almanac or law volume that
saws that the Bearman Fruit
company must or shall bow to
the demands" Of a gang OF
communist cut Threats and car
pet baggers-BUMS!
The Dayton company:
For reasons known only to in
sects, the Dayton company has
been the target of labor hate
for years. I never met one OF
the Daytons, and if the Lord
isn't able to recognize them
more readily than I when He
meets them, they're goners.
But:
Every member of that firm
can claim something that no
communist dares lay claim to
American citizenship.
When the communists "pull-
ed" the first edition of the pres
emit strike last May, the Dayton
company kept every "striker"
who wished to remain on the
lob but dared not for fear OF
peaceful picket" violence, on
full time pay. Today many OF
it's employees who are again
forced into the ranks of the un-
employed, are kept on the firm s
payroll-if not on full time and
pay, upon at least enough to
keep them from enjoying" the
hospitality of a communist soup
kitchen or a Kjorlaug meat
ticket.

wait to see the effect OF that blow. but darted
InHingly away.
1T WAS, perhaps, merely feminine blow
that should not have staggered the young
man; yet blood spurted he fumbled for
handkerchief. She was still running. some
what waveringly and with limp that grew
more pronounced with every step. She crashed
through the underbrush and was gone.
In the momentary silence that succeeded
there came down from unseen heights above
the fiat the far-away clatter Of horses hoofs.
That ominous sound like the ringing of
an alarm-ben Rodwen was across the open
land in fash, to break in his turn through
underbrush into the cool and shadowy reaches
of the fir woods where successfully bear, horse
and girl had vanished.
OF the animals he saw no trace, but he had
run only a short distance when he came upon
the girl where she half knelt, half lay beside
the fallen trunk Of giant fir, her arms spread
hopelessly over the rotting bark, her head
resting there as if on pillow.
For an instant Rodwell thought that she had
tainted, but when he touched her shoulder the
flesh quivered under his hand.
They're coming" he said briefly
There was q clatter of steel on stone and
the sound of voices; then the clatter ended in
q softer but more alarming thud Of hoofs on
the grassy fiat. Rodwell stepped over the high
log with the girl in his arms. and sank down
out of sight.
The riders went past, the voices dimin-
ished, and a sudden dip into Black Bob Gulch
quieted all human sounds.
For a moment more Rodwell held his cap
tive tightly; then his embrace relaxed. He
holstered his revolver, and with that, as If the
last current Of vitality had been exhausted he
sank back to the pine needles. The girl lay
passiyely beside him an instant longer, then
struggled to her knees.
A SUDDEN and Overwhelmingly sweet scent
Of violets filled his nostris. His bloodied
nose and chapped, dirty face burned like
flame.
He sat up with a gasped exclamation Of
pain. The brown, stained and torn shirt of the
kneeling girl was open at the throat and from
concealment there she had brought out small
handbag. There was the white wisp of hand
kerchief in her hand and miniature bottle
of perfume.
I'm so s-sorry If it hurts" she stammered.
1T wa all could find TOTO wash the blood
Off. I hit terribly hard, don't I? My brother
taught me-"
Its something fierce" he agreed; though
whether it was the sting, the smell or the blow
remained obscure. Here, let me have that"
He took the perfume and handkerchief from
her unresisting hand. You're in a worse mess
than I am" he told her. "You look as II
Old Peanuts had paved you"
She snatched at her handbag mot really?
I've been too busy to powder" But be-
fore she could use the hand-mirror that came
out Of the bag, he had an arm over her shoul-
ders and was scrubbing her face with the per-
fume-soaked wisp Of cambria.
