UNIONIZATION PLANS FOUGHT Sled Companies To Fight Unionization Os Workers —I .11 New York, June 20—(U.R)-Steel compiudes employing 500,000 men] and capitalized at $5,000,000,000 j declared war without quarter to-1 •lay upon attempts to unionize ’ their workers. Through the American Iron and Steel Institute, the corporations announced that they are prepared to withstand strikes and riots and to use all its resources to ‘‘protect" their employes "from intimidation, coercion, and violence, pud to aid them in maintaining collective bargaining free from interference from any source.” The proclamation directly challenged the new committee for industrial organization, composed of 10 of the largest unions of the

American Federation of laibor, headed by President John L. Lewie of the powerful United Mine 1 , Workers of America. Lewis’ org-i, animation has raised $500,000 or ] more to make tile third great attempt in 50 years to unionize j steel. Federal troops broke the first great attempt when it. evoked the famous homestead strike of 1892 The last attempt was that of the \mercan Federation of bailor in 1919. William Z. Foster, later com ' munist candidate for president. ■ played a leading role in that ■ i drive. A strike resulted. Phrasings of the corporations' statement indicated that they ex-' pected disturbances of the Indus-: try from Lewis' attempt perhaps , equal to those of 1892 and 1919. "Any interruption of the for- 1 ward movement (of steel industry recovery from depression) will i seriously injure employes and I their families,” the statement said, "and all businesses dependent up-I on the industry will endanger the welfare of the country. “The announced drive, with Its I accompanying agitation for Indus-1 trial strife, threatens such inter-1 ruption. “The steel industry will use its resources to the best of its ability to protect its employes and their families from intimidation, coercion. and violence and to aid them 1 in maintaining collective bargaining free from interference from pny source." The iron and steel institute | called al tention to a statement by i a speaker at the communist | national convention, just ended,; that "a serious steel strike will be , an almost inevitable result of I efforts to organize the industry by I the committee for industrial organization.” • Recruit Men Chicago. June 29 — (U.R) The steel workers organizing committee today was recruiting men from the Chicago distret mills to aid outside organizer's in the drive to unionize the steel industry. Leo Krzycki, a member of the central committee, flung back the challenge of steel companies who declared war on the organizers. “We are determined to carry; on." Krzycki said. "At a picnic

LANDON FIXING FIRST SPEECH ,Gov. All Landon Preparing Acceptance Speech Os July 23

Estes Park, Colo.. June 29 —(U R) i —Gov. Alf M. Landon of Kansas today awaited additional a.mmuni tion for the broadside he plans to turn on the new deal in his notification speech in Topeka July 21. The Republican presidential nominee will be joined this week by Charles P. Taft and Ralph W. Robey, two members of his iv-1 oeajch staff who have been col-. lecting data for Landon's first i major political statement since I ■ his Cleveland nomination. Landon already has whipped the speech into tentative shape, it wlas believed. It has occupied ! much of his time since his arrival ! here with his family for a vacation. It was believed the text would be completed before he re- ! turns to Topeka. The governor took his family to church services at the Y.M.C.A. community hall Sunday morning .where he heard a minister say: "The government is doing' ! things so fast that no one can foresee future events clearly I enough to gauge their conduct.” The speaker was the Rev. Wai- ! ter M. Horton of Oberlin, Ohio, : professor of philosophy at Oberlin ! college. His address commemorI ated the anniversary of the early president. James Madison. Landon listened intently. He chatted briefly with well-wishers after services. In the afternoon. Ute governor shunned business, romped with 3-, year old John Cobb Landon, then a shower of rain spoiled plans for I a walk.

RETAIL SALES SHOW INCREASE Independent Stores In Indiana Show Substantial Boost Washington. June 29 — Retail sales of 395 independent stores in Indiana reporting to the department of Commerce showed an increase of 27 per cent in dollar volume for May r.'.'itl as compared with the same month of 1935, according to, preliminary estimates of the bureau of foreign ami domestic Commerce. This report, which covers the larger indeipendent stores with the exception of department stores, represents 21 kinds of 'business. 13 of which, due to an insufficient number of re-i ports, are contained in miecellan-' eons or in group totals. When adjusted for the number i of working days, May 1936 sales i showed an increase of 13 per cent' from Apr-:1 1936. There was one less working day in May than in AprilWithout adjustment either for the , number of wot king days or for sett- j sona' influences. May sales were I

8 per cent higher than for April. All of the kinds ot business represented showed increases for May of this year over May a year ago. The greatest gains were 75 per cent shown by motor vehicle dealers, 27 per cent by both hardware and furniture stores, and 26 per cent by men's and Boys clothing stores. Increases were shown in May by all lines of trade when compared with April. The greatest gain between these two months was shown by furniture stores which increased 32 per cent. The total furniture and household appliance group gained 30 per cent. The next largest increase was shown by hardware stores whose May sa'es advanced 28 iper cent from April. Os the tirms reporting for May, 302 (765%)) reported increases over May 1935; 80 (20.2'■ ) showed declines; and 13 (3.3%) registered a change of less than 1 per cent.

“Barnum Was Right” THE one and only I*. T. Barnum is alleged to have said many things that never found their way into our eopybooks... things to which few of us would wish to subscribe. But he uttered a profound truth when he said: “If you don’t advertise your business, the sherill will. Firms which intend to stay in business, that is, firms which deal directly with the public, must advertise. By the same token, it is a sign that they mean to stay in business when they do advertise. For they are of f ering, through advertisements, the values in their stores. You, the customer, will decide whether or not they arc values. If they are not, it is “just too bad” lor the firm that claimed they were. Don’t you see, therefore, that no mercchant can afford to misrepresent himsell or his goods in print? Advertising merely magnifies a misrepresentation—brings the fatal day nearer. Naturally, then, you can trust the advertisements in this paper. You can believe that the stores signing those advertisements want your trade, and arc w illing to earn it with honest values and fair treatment. Read the advertisements. Patronize the advertisers. It is to your selfish interest to do so. «
