SEES ORGANIZED LABOR PREY TO GREED OF POWER

Redfleld Warns Leaders They May Alienate Public Support.

WASHINGTON. D. C. Oct. 1. ! Secretary of Commerce William C. Redfleld eald Monday that the belief is growing throughout the country that the latest demands of some labor leaders are actuated by a desire to get more power and not by economic necessity, and, a3 a consequence, orE&nized labor 13 losing ground. "Organized labor is losing the sympathy of the general public," Mr. Redf.eld said, "and unless its attitude and actions undergo alterations soon, the union movement 'will suffer a serious reverse. Workers See It. "Many union labor workers who carry union cards have told mo they believe some of the leaders are making exorbitant demands and disturbing industry thereby, with the effect of hurting seriously and perhaps permanently the Just cause of unionism." Secretary Redfleld, discussing the forthcoming industrial conference at the White House, said he thought no definite contractural agreements would be reached between capital and labor but that the conference would be a sort of 'get together" affair at which all elements would discover something rood in the other fellow. Would Lose Job. "There will be at the conference," he faid, "a number of employers who have happily solved their individual labor problems with entire satisfaction to themselves and their employes. Their workers have a voice in the management and a share in the profits. "This conditon has in the past been f-ought by organized labor, I understand, but I'm told the labor leaders

nofy oppose this very idea of profitfcharlng and voice in management. Well, I wonder if agitators aren't fighting the idea now because they feel they will lose their jobs and their influence with the workers themselves when the idea becomes an actuality generally in American Industry."

may, Both Have Clothes Blues

Anyx

DAYTON Members of the Swiss mission, who are studying economic conditions in America, concluded their visit to Dayton today and left for Pittsburg, where industrial plants will be inspected.

BY A WOMAN. "I got the blues" no not what you are thinking about, but the clothes blues. These rainy days remind me that winter is almost here and a glance at my weather-beaten white canvas shoes, white linen skirt and sun-burned summer hat, tell me that I have got to scrape up some cash and invest it on some winter clothes.

You know last winter all the boys were gone and we didn't buy clothes.

We were of course too patriotic to

spend money on such luxuries as clothes, and then, what was the use? The boys were gone! So here I am, with winter at hand, and no last year's suit, dress, coat, or anything to rely on. And now if any one has any doubt as to the seriousness of this affair, let me tell you what I have found out during my window shopping, for of course I haven t bought yet. First, I needed a pair of shoes, and found a good looking pair at the reasonable price of $12, which was not more than I expected. But I did get a blow when I came to looking at the latest head gear. Right away I found a darline hat. so nlain that I was sure

it would be within several dollars of mv speed, when the milliner told me it "was $14.50. Zip goes $26.50, and only my head and feet covered! Suits at $43.75 a Look. I only looked at suits, for as yet I don't know whether I will buy a suit or travel in a barrel. I told the clerk to show me some less expensive suits, good material, but nothing extreme, and what I wanted from the lot was marked down, and I could have it at the bargain price of $89.90. A smart looking blouse to go with this bargain suit will only set me back $12.50, so that suit and blouse, hat and shoes will cause an output from mv depleted bank account of only $128.90. And now for the dainty, soft and pretty underwear. I found some really

good silk vests for $3 each, and so

bought two of them. But tne crepe de chine and satin "teddies" were out of sight. I suppose, however. I will have to hand out $4.50 each for two garments. A corset, and it was not satin or any fancy material, costs $5. Item 3 underwear will come to $20, making my total expense account $148.90. I can't wear shoes without hose, so I'll be forced to pay out $2.25, not counting war tax, for a pair. Two pair really should be purchased but there are ways of avoiding that, all of us know. Even Rouge Is Up. My supply of cosmetics is almost exhausted, so I will have to stop at

the drug store in order to be well

groomed, so I put on a what-do-I-care air and paid out $1 for a box of face powder; 50 cent for rouge, twentyfive cents for a can of talcum powder, and the same for a powder puff. I find the price of toilet water has gone up and I had to pay $1.50, which is considerable higher than the last I purchased. But I have only spent $3.50, and think how well I can now camouflage my face! $134.65 Gone Already! In case I mortgage my wrist watch, cash in my liberty bonds, put my beads, rings, and brooches in the pawn shop, and make myself presentable to the public by buying these few clothes I will expend $134.05. Oh, yes, I forget that I have to have an afternoon dress or I cannot go to any parties, shows', or anything. The dress that I want is marked at $65 and the coat which would be "just the thing" costs $90. Adding those two items to the previous account I will have $289.65. And what will I do when the cleaner's bill comes? Or how will I pay 50 cents every two weeks for a shampoo and 10 cents for a shine for those $12 shoes, at least every two days?

An evening dress, party slippers, evening coat, and other such luxuries I fear to consider. A plain street dress or suit is absolutely out of the question. Who wouldn't have the "clothes blues?"

The cost of just one out3t, enough to keep you clothed for a week, is staggering! And when you figure what would be "necessary extras," It staggers you still more. Starts and Nearly Stops. Suppose I start to get the new outfit. First, a suit of clothes. I can

get a fair suit of clothes for $65, "Not the best, however," the clothier will probably say. And an overcoat Just a common overcoat will cost at least as much. Then I must figure on

There goes two mois tmcas of that money I had saved for a flivver. Underwear two Euits will do for a start $3.50 more. I might buy a wide cravat and do without a shirt, but wide cravats cost $8 and $10, so I will get two shirts at $5 each. Another ten all shot to pieces. Icould get along with three collars, but even that's six btts.- At least one necktie at $2 is essential. Then comes the necessaries to hold all this together, collar buttons, cuff links, belt and hose supporters. Blooie!

$3.50 more is gone. To top me all off, a hat costs $6. But with all of that. It would be rather tough to walk in those aew cocks, so there goes 10 "berries" for shoes. I will have spent $168.75. unless the

yer throws i off the six bits.

When I look at a list of things, ab

solutely necessary things, that would I have to get, if starting all over, "from the nude" as the artists say, it makes

me shudder.

And if it were Tuesday, (shave day)

and it were necessary to have cinders j
