GOMPERS "APOLOGIZES"
To Reactionary Paper For His Stand in The Interests
Of The Workers
In a letter to the Washington Post
President Gompers said that the ar
ticle "was mighty interesting reading
nd, as you intended, I feel very much
rebuked by it."
"And, perhaps," continued the trade
unionist, "you would have me offer a
humble apology for daring to pursue
the course I have in this political cam
paign.
"How dare the organized wage
workers of the United States have the
temerity to enter a campaign of de
feating the big interests which seek
to oppress the toilers?

"The Washington Post, with the
other mouthpieces and apologists of
reaction, has failed to comprehend
either the industrial or the sociologi
cal situation of the peoples of the
peoples of the world, including the
United States.
"The organized labor movement of
America has steadfastly stood for
progress, for reform as against vio
lence and revolution, and the entire
course of the A. P. of L., industrially
and politically, is governed by that
source. You not only antagonize
these both, but attempt to hold up to
ridicule and contempt the chosen rep
resentatives of the men and women
of labor who dare have the temerity
to express the practically unani
mous expression of 4,500,000 wage
earners organized in our federation.
The Washington Post would appar
ently prefer to invite and encourage
the discordant elements of destruction
rather than the constructive group
who work for progress and evolution.

publish this apology to the Washing
ton Post in an early issue of your
newspaper?"

Make Statement of Bevis
Tavern Incident
Sensational Story All Un
called For
The fair board members held their
ennual dinner and outing at Bevis'
tavern on last Saturday night. Six
invited guests were present, among
them being Chief of Police Charles
Strieker and U. F. Bickley. At the
tavern there were two Hamilton wo
men, one of them a 16-year-old girl
recently paroled from the Delaware
school for girls. The women were in
the company of two traveling sales
men, and it is said were very much
under the influence of liquor. They
tried to butt into the fair board mem
bers' party and were ordered away
by Chief Strieker. They became very
sore.
On Sunday night the husband of the
older woman gave her such a beating,

it is said, that ought to keep her good
for years. He then signed a warrant
charging her with aiding in juvenile
delinquency. This made them sorer
snd resulted in their testifying that
Chief Strieker had given the younger
one liquor.
Then along comes a local evening
paper, with an irresponsible head who
sees red on occasions, and prints a
sensational story of the incident, but
which the average citizen took with
salt and heartily condemns.
The fair board members and their
guests issued the following statement
which readily explains the whok
pffair:
i The fair board directors, who gave
sn annual dinner and outing each
year, gave their dinner Saturday
evening at Bevis tavern, at which the
members of the Agricultural Society
were all present except William B.
Wallace, who is sick, with six invited
guests-.

reason, published a false and slander

Quality, service and a full
hundred cents' worth of
value for every dollar
spent in our establish
ment that's what we of
fer to our customers
that's what those who
know us best have come to
realize as the foundation
principle of this store.
First of all, we look to
quality—the quality that
spells satisfaction for the
long months after the sale
rather than for the few
moments which precede it.
Quality assured, we try to
buy early enough and in
large enough quantities to
get our costs to the lowest
price and years' experi
ence and ample capital
helps us to accomplish
this. Other theories of
merchandising may have
advantages for the cus
tomer but they are not
the advantages our cus
tomers want so daily our
efforts are concentrated
along the lines we have
chosen to follow- and daily
they are being rewarded
by a greater confidence
on the part of those we
serve.
