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.

Wl TOK AGAINST STILL - iftusT bV Labor leaders ii - > 1 .iasxilioini ieom eili vliaeninm Open Shop Policy of Steel ji.2 .iayvnj.yS L Jibu ■ Corporation is Under At- tack. Resolutions are Passed. 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 from which labor suffers at the hands of this corporation. “At the instance of the United States Steel Corporation officers of local, municipal and State govern ments have unwarrantably tyrannized over citizens, invading the constitu tionality guaranteed right of free as semblage and free speech. We recom mend that committees be appointed by this conference to wait upon the Governors of States and such other of- Aui j > i/ ' \w \ I > | lOdnl silt ebAosb iasq Trfj y.nlmU cials; rejnesentatjves of county uand j municipal districts, a§ are in ,control where the United Staffs St6el <sorpi6T- !W atiqn iuxs plants located for. the. nose of presenting I 0 these officials, the great wrongs inflicted upon the 11 ' jjeopU of these communities, and that- 1 the committees demand an inypsti-. gatiOn, and where changes are I 'mß.de and substantiated by evidence, the afen ficials responsible therefor be removed and the wrongs Immediately rigt/t/T. ‘* ! “We appeal to all liberty Americans for their moral and flnatm cial support. “JAMES O’CONNELL, “T.

It will be a paper for the working man, and the first issue is brimfull of good, interesting reading matter. We wish them success with a long life and full’locker. 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.”
