This winter has been a hard one for the working man. Those who are dependent upon their daily labor for the necessities of life have found it very difficult to make their customary purchases because of the lack of work; all of us therefore have suffered to some extent and we find we have more winter goods on our shelves than usual at this time of year. Because of this it is imperative that we dispose of our enormous stock, and to do so we now offer to the public

Hibiuitt, nonplussed for the moment. 1 plied that he Would do So when b- resumed his testimony Thursday. One of the most interesting witnesses the committee has called is Antonio Wiatcr. Polish. residing at mrne, X. J.. where he was emploxed by the l.-'bii; company, part of the ! rtilu.od trust up to the time the employes of the concern started the strike ;iU Roose elt. V to three months before tho llnosevelt trike Winter worked for a eopper cin, i m ami by dint of plupat it Sundays. Fourths of Jul and all other days and "doini? a little overtime now and then" he made sometimes as hi-h as a week on which he was abb', he declared, to support his w if and live children and s save a dollar or two? a week. So thrifty was he that when the war came and the outuut of the

copper company was restricted and Wiatcr lost his job. he had amassed aainst the rainy day that was now upon him. Waui Was Reduced. Tony took a job with the IJebis company at $2 a day "handling pick and shovel", but again the war Interfered. The chemical trust reduced that waee to l.f0 per day. As A. Harton Hepburn later in the day testitiehl. the ice president of the chemical company said they had lots of applications for work and they thought the men would soon come around. The strike followed, however, and Wiatcr was ayain out of a job. It was the intensely human document which Tony's list of necessary expenses as compared with ids income furnished, however, that is of chief interest. These are the facts he laid before the commission, producing his bills as vouchers. His wages at M.bi per day for 27 working days before the strike was declared totaled S 4 :'.'.. Anainst this

Chairman Walsh asked about clothing. Tony pointed not without pardonable pride to the suit of clothes r. was wearing. "1 got it nine ears." he declared s1cm l.a-t Two Week. .s to shoes he said the acid in the chemical works was so strong that he wore out a pair of $ '.) shoes sometimes in two weeks. Walsh added $10 for clothes and brought the total abso

lutely necessary expenditures per 1

month of the Wiatcr family up to $G0. The answer is that Tony Wiatcr is in debt, despite the fact that Mrs. Wia'er takes in washing and helps to piece out for the children. Fifty-three dollars he told Commissioner Welnstock. would clear him of debt, but he named that impossible sum in a hopeless tone. When the war is over Tony hopes to get back his job with the copper company where he can work seven days a week the year round and with a little extra work save a little. Meanwhile he and the children for amusement read the papers there is no money for the movies and Tony puffs away thoughtfully at his pipe. It is his sole diversion. A. Harton Hepburn, who followed Whiter on the stand and heard part of his testimony and who is a director in the American Agricultural Chemical company, said he believed the directors were absolutely responsible for conditions, lal-ur ami otherwise, in the companies they serve. At the time ot the Kooscvelt strike .Mr. Hepburn called up James M. Clifford, a lawyer who is vice president of the company and learned from him about the numerous applications for work -which were expected to tiring the strikers

great and lasting benefit to mankind." Mr. Hepburn like Mr. Greene and others in the service of Mr. Rockefeller, sr.. rarely sees his chief. "I never saw him hut once," he said. "That was about 13 years ago." Dean Kirchwey of the Columbia university law school, who testified at the morning session, informed the commission that in his opinion the acts under which the Rockefeller as well as a)l the other great Foundations of wealth have been chartered are unconstitutional in the respect that they fail to set forth clearlv in tile r titles the purposes fur which the philanthropies are incorporated. It is in the power of the courts, he said, to compel

! the attorney general to proceed

against the Foundations if this construction of their unconstitutionality is wel founded. Dr. Kirchwey offered the general opinion that the creation of such foundations is generally unwise.

He declared he had never had any experience with labor affairs and did not fed himself competent to pass any opiaion on the subjects to which his attention was invited in that connection by Chairman Walsh.
