as chain stores. ga
H. R. 1 as introduced in the House
by Congressman Wright Patman
would have levied special federal tax
on corporate chain stores, graduated
from $50 to $1,000 per store accord
ing to the total number of stores in
each corporation but with the tax null
tiplied by the number of states in
which the operating concern did busi-
ness.
The bill was frankly conceded to be
an effort to destroy or break up large
chain store systems. Patman offered
to amend his bill to reduce the top
tax rate from $1,000 per store to $500;
but he also would have made it apply
to gasoline filling stations.
Labor witnesses view the official
action of the subcommittee as COM
plete support for their contentious.
They view it also as cleancut en-
dorsement of action of the Cincinnati
convention of A. F. of L. when the
delegates overwhelmingly refused to
vote an approval of the Patman bill.
Witnesses included the following
spokesmen for organized labor:
Matthew Speedie, vice president,
Retail Clerks International Protec-
tive Association.
Richard Compton, financial secre-
tary, Washington, d. C. Local 1888
Retail Clerks International Protective
Association.
John B. Haggerty, chairman of the
board of governors of the Allied
Printing Trades Association, and Pres
ident of international Brotherhood OF
Bookbinders.
Patrick E. German, President, Anal
gamated Meat Cutters and Butcher
Workmen Of North America.
James M. Duffy, president, Nationa
Brotherhood of Operative Potters.

Dor Union, Washington, D. c., and Dis
trict Building Trades Council.
Richard Goodrich, business agent

gamated Meat Cutters and Butcher
Worwman Of North America.
Claude M. Baker, president, Inter
national Typographical Union.
Further disapproval of the princi
Piles proposed by H. R. 1 was shown
by the subcommittee when it also re
jected motion that would have usee
the tax plan to "freeze" the chair
store industry at it's present size.

THE BEST WAY
It's good to be a union man
And we will tell you why,


We can look you in the eye.
You know together we will stand
Divided we will fall,
But to be a good true union man
Is the best way after all.
Now we have our different locals
And | think we use discretion,
Because it isn't half so hard
TO settle our petitions.
SO if you know together we stand
And divided we will fall,
Just go and join the union
Tis the best way after all.

You can tell a ripe peach by it's
firmness and the extent to which the
green on the underside of the fruit has
turned to whitish- yellow color.
A good peach should also be free
from blemishes and have fresh ap-
pearance. If the fruit has a reddish
blush it still may not be ripe, since
color varies with the variety of the
peach.
Over-ripe peaches are soft to the
touch, bruise easily and are fit only
for immediate consumption. Uneven
ness in shade and small surface
punctures exuding gummy sub
stance mean worm injury. Brown cir
cular spots on the surface of the fruit
indicate it will not keep.

AID TO ENGLAND:
Congress to Decide

When President Roosevelt APP
pears before the new congress dur
ing the first week in January. an
important part of his message is
expected to be devoted to aid to
Britain.
There has been talk of an outright
subsidy TO England to help that ma.
ton finance the manufacture of mu-
nitions here. Discussion of a loan
gets little endorsement. The gen.
eral sentiment is that loan couldn't
be paid anyhow and would only
cause a headache Of misunderstand-
ing after the war. An outright gift
would have IL done and over with.
President Roosevelt advanced an
other scheme. He would Tend"
Britain such war materials as we
have on hand. This proposal en-
visions Britain's use of the material
while America held title. After the
war it would be returned to the u. s.
