are well known in the furniture busi

schaum and Briar pipes. Their main

THE RICHARDS BUSINESS COL
LEGE.
The city of Savannah Is particularly
fortunate in having among its educa
tional institutions one of such sterl
ing worth as the Richards Business
College. The commendation given by
all business men of the city is posi
tive proof of the value and usefulness
of this college in preparing young men
and women for business positions.
You will scarcely find an office in the
1i
city without a representative from this
school, and that representative is emi
nently successful as an office assist
ant. C. J. Richards is at the head
and we hope his commendable institu
tion will continue to prosper and that
he will always receive his full share
of the public patronage.
The popularity of the Richards
Business College is due to one fact
more than anything else, and that is
the personal attention given by the
proprietor those in attendance, whose
opportunities in life to obtain an edu
cation have been limited, but who are
ambitious to succeed. They teach all
the important branches to be had at a
strictly first-class school of business
and their methods have been univer
sally pronounced the very best.
The management is broad guaged
and reasonable in its attitude towards
labor and the college is recognized as
one of our stanch and substancial
friends.

RYAN’S BUSINESS COLLEGE.
Among the finest and most thorough
educational institutions In Georgia is
Ryan’s Business College. Our coun
try can boast no commercial college
superior to this one in quality of tra'n
ing. Its graduates are employed by
our most successful business men, and
it has been unable to supply all the
demands for help made upon it, which |
is undoubtedly due to the splendid
training furnished in this school. It
is commendable for our workingmen to
educate their children if possible in
music and the other nne arts, but it
Is unquestionably their duty to prepare
their sons and daughters for the bat
tle of life by giving them a good
practical commercial education. Con
siderable fraud and deception has
i been practiced throughout the country
by unprincipled business colleges, and
I it is a satisfaction to know that we
' have in our midst a business college
which is everywhere recognized as
thoroughly reliable. We take pleasure
in placing the name of Ryan’s Busi
ness College in this, our Xmas issue.
R. T. Worth is the able and efficient
i principal. The college is located at
27-29 Provident Building.
W. A. JAUDON.
The wise working man knows that
it is the poorest kind of economy to
place his trade with any but the best
concerns. This is especially true when
it comes to buying clothing, hats and
furnishing goods. While it may be
possible to purchase at some cheap
store at lower prices than those asked
by the really reputable dealer, it pays
in the long run to trade where high
grade goods at reasonable prices, com
bined with honest and courteous treat
ment of customers, are the chief con
siderations.
Such a place is the well known es
tablishment of W. A. Jaudon. Here
our people can find goods which are i
absolutely reliable and salesmen who
are unfailingly polite an dattentive.
The firm carry a complete stock of
the most dependable lines. W. A. Jau
don’s establishment has a large and
steadily increasing family trade, and
we heartily recommend them to our .
members, their wives and children.
This flrm has been established since
1896, and is located at 108 Saint Ju
lian street, West.
THE RED CROSS PHARMACY.
The progress of the Red Cross Phar
macy has been steady from the date
of inception, and the management has
at all times conducted the business
along substantial and conservative
lines. This flrm carries complete
stocks of drugs, toilet articles, drug
gists' sundries, and. In fact, every
thing to be found in a first-class drug
store. You can always find what you
want at the Red Cross Pharmacy and
the quality is certai nto be the best
and the price the lowest in the city.
The modern business methods in
vogue in this store is due to the never
tiring efforts of the management to
,give the people what they want at
the closest possible price.
The proprietor, who looks after the
business, is looked upon by the pub
lic as being one of the ablest drug
gists in Savannah. This firm appre
ciates the patronage of labor people
and has always made extra effort to
satisfy their wants. Located at 323

ill [ if j J ,| (>
infisilln? 51 .m
, War was formally declared upon the
United States Steel Corporation by
tike leaders' of organized labor
throughoutthe United States and
Canada at the close of a momentous
two days’ conference Tuesday, De
cumber 14.
iThe decision to battle long and hard
against the stand taken by the Steel
C’jnporation in its policy of an open
shop, it is declared, was reached by
the labor conierences only alter hours
ol dehate, ana a deal of trouble.
At the conterence which passed the
remarkable decree, Sampel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
ifjjj l abor, presided.
The grievances -of organized labor
gif.jnst the Steel Corporation as set
,orth in the resolution have been for
> vjirded to President Tait ana tue
United States Senate and House of
Representatives.
The Governors of the State in
which the Steel Corporation operates
liants, or has interests, also wifi re
deive a copy of the resolution.
‘n part the resolution reads:
The United States Steel Corpora
tion has declared war on labor. in
ltd secret councils this corporation
has decreed that the only ooscacie to
rs complete sway, that of organized
labor, shall be crushed. The lauor
organizations consist of its employes,
the workers and their wives and lit
ones, indirectly, human flesh ana
bone.
“It is by their labor that they live.
They have no purpose other than
safeguarding their lives; their char
acters; their future, the safety of the
it public, and humanity.
“These factors now confront each
other. By their purposes, attitude
and actions must they be judged.
“June 1, 1909, the United States
Steel Corporation proclaimed its de
cree of hostility toward labor. The
rights of the workers to associate for
their common protection were no lon
ger to be recognized or tolerated. Ac
companying that decree was a notice
of a further reduction in the already
scant wages of the workers. The de
cree went into effect July 1, 1909. We
therefore, urge that an earnest effort
be made to thoroughly organize an
employes in the iron, steel and tin
plate industries and subsidiary core
lated trades.
“Owing to immediate pressing ne
cessity caused by the present strike,
and by the indefensible, hostile atti
tude of the United States wteel Cor
poration, we earnestly call upon na
tional and international unions of
America to send at least one organizer
to assist in this work. We further
urge and recommend that in all places
where mills are located the central
labor organizations appoint special
committees with instructions to co
operate in this worK.
“For educational purposes we rec
ommend that this manixesto be made
a special order in all central labor
organizations at their first meetings
in January, 1910.
“We recommend that the executive
council of the American Federation
of Labor issue a circular to all unions
of America, appealing for financial
contributions to aid the striking iron,
steel and tinplate workers.
“We further recommend that the
amount of such contributions should
not be less than ten cents per mem
ber. In viey of the great wrongs
perpetrated by the United States Steel
Corporation, not only against the
workers, but the public generally, we
recommend that a committee be ap
pointed by this conference to wait on
the President of the United States, the
piesldent of the United States Sen
ate, the Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives, and such members of
either house of Congress as may be
deemed advisable for the purpose of
laying before them the grievances

FRENCH WORKERS TO FIGHT
Will Aid in Ibe Label Agita
tion Abroad Against the
Butterick Company
L’Humanite, the well-known Social
ist daily of Paris, prints an inter
view with E. M. Martin, a former
member of the board of management
of The New York Call and the State
Committee of the Socialist party of
New York, and a well known mem
ber of “Big Six,” the New York print
ers’ union, in which he states his mis
sion in Paris.
Martin has been delegated by the
International Typographical Union to
carry the fight against tn eßutterrick
Publishing Company into France,
where many of the publishers of this
concern are sold. . After relating the
causes which led up to the strike of
1905-6, and after showing how the
union had established the eight-hour
day, even in the most powerful news
paper offices, Marton says:
“The Butterick Company alone re
mains absolutely opposed to working
men’s organizations, and I appeal to
all unionists of France, to members
of the Socialist party, and of co-one
rative organizations, not to read the
Miroir des Modes, or any of the ether
publications of this concern. let
them tell their wives and sisters to
rigorously proscribe the magazines of
these arrogant capitalists, who are
trying to reduce their brothers—the
worders of America—to a condition
of starvation and servitude.”
The spirit in which this appeal has
been received by the workers ot Paris
is seen by the following paragraph:
“The allied printing trades (of
France) will certainly uo everything
in its power. Other organizations
should imitate their example, and the
Socialist press should do their utmost
to prove to our American brothers
that we can show our internationalism
otherwise than by mere phases.”
