campaign, worked in a book bindery.
It was a non-union bindery with all
its discomforts and unkind treat

Mary's work was most arduous.

ORGANIZE MEXICANS,
SAYS A. F. OF L. CHIEF
Washington.—President Green calls
on the trade union movement to or
ganize Mexican workers, in conform
ity with a declaration by the Atlantic
City convention of the A. F. of L.
The letter is especially intended to
meet conditions in Texas, Arizona,
New Mexico, California, Colorado,

sylvania, New Jersey and Illinois.
In favoring the organization of
Mexicans, the convention called at
tention to a conference last August of

Mexican Federations of Labor, in
which the problems,^ immigration
were discussed.
That conference declared that the
ultimate condition of mankind should
be such that all men could enjoy
the greatest possible right to travel
freely to every part of the world, but
a universal obligation should be ob
served to the effect that such persons
must not endanger the standards and
conditions of life for other people.

Regarding the Almost Ridiculous
Comparative Prices
The policy of the new Burnett Store does
not call for the use of misleading com
parative prices in advertising, so we wish
to make this explanation:
Comparative prices used in this partic
ular advertisement are the prices that ap
peared on these garments when passed to
our hands by the former owners. In ar
ranging sale groups we disregarded former
prices and considered only one point—
"Offer each garment so low that there
won't be a bit of hesitancy on the part of
the buyer in recognizing it as a bargain!"
