LABOR MEN ANSWER MELLEN.
Gompers and Others Deny Efficiency
Decreases With Higher Pay.
Samuel Gompers, president. of the
American Federation of Labor, and
other labor mentake issue with Pres-
ident Charles S. Mellen, of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford rail-
road, who said, in an address to stock-
holders of the New Haven:
"1 regret to say, so far as the or-
ganized labor item is concerned. that i
am meeting constantly a decreased effi-
ciency with every increase in wages."
"if President Mollen‘s statement is
true," said Gompers, “he is in an iso~
lated and unprecedented position. As
a matter of fact, the claim which Mr.
Mellen makes is a natural and physical
contradiction and impossibility. The
.trend of skill is always to the trades
laud sailings in which higher and bet~
ter wages prevail."
President. John F. Potts, of the Wage
Earners‘ Central Club, said: “Mr. Mei-
len's statement is at variance with all
industrial history.”
Treasurer John 1“. Kennedy, of the
building irades' society of the Cnetral
Labor Union, declared: “it would be
hard for Mr, Mellon to reconcile his
statement with facts and figures fur-
nished by the National and State labor
bureaus during the last quarter of a

The Best Suits '
Don’t Cost the Most.
Dou't_carry around the idea that because our
clothes for men are admittedly better than
others-more stylish, better in fit, and better tailored
~tliat they cost more than others. That is a mistake
no man ought to make.
We have a price range precisely the same as
other stores— 4
$10.00 to $25.00
but it isn't fair to assume that all vdlues are identical.
Intelligent comparison will quickly establish the fact,
that at every price between $10 and $25, we give you
far better values and more satisfactory clothes than
any other store in town gives at the same price or
even $3 to $5 higher.
“'1: say again: Our prices are never higher than
others ask—4nd often they are lower.

Baby Chick Feed.
In buying Poultry Feeds and especially forlittlo chicks you must be
familiar with the food stuffs on sale, because there is a tendency on the
part of all millcrs to work of! grain that is too poor to sell readily when
whole. Therefore it is important to know what to buy, how and where.
This year I have decided to make a little chick feed, composed of choice
grains and seeds, carefully selected and perfectly granulated and screen-
ed. I believe it is better than any bought from out of town (although I
will buy any brand you may desire) and if you will call I'shall be pleased
to have you examine and compare mine with any other.
