TITE MORXIXG OTtEGOXTAX. MONDAY. DECEMBER 12, 1910. GARENT WORKERS 'M- Arnold EJECT AGITATORS AiniottlnieF Year Tons of Food Distributed Daily Among Chicago Strikers, but Suffering Exists. SOAPBOX ORATORS BARRED To Amid Intimidation and Attack by Professional Agitators. Vote to Accept Employ!' Tcrm I Taken Secretly. CHICAGO. Dee. 11. (Special- Com parative peace reigned In the riot dis trict and purlieus of the garment-workers' strike today. fn and cold re duced the ardor of the pickets. Indications are that the strike Is near an end. Testerday the strikers ba ejecting from their meeting-places the FnctaJIst soap-box orators, who are not enoeerned In the strike except to sain convert and stir up strife. Police of Canal port station, the cen ter of the trouble sone. sar the strike from the start has been led and kert alive by thuits and senators who were never known to work. From an authoritative source it was learned today that fewer than S000 gar-ment-workers are actually on strike. It Is true that approximately 10.000 are out. but the majority refuse to work through fear of the pickets. These nat ures do not compare well with the statements of strike leaders, who are constantly appealing to the public for money and food for 40.000 homeless families. There Is now distributed dally among the strikers one ton of cofTee. two tons of luctr, 10.000 loaves of bread. Im mense quantities of potatoes, meat. fish, macaroni and canned roods. Klve thou sand packages of grlddle-cake flour will be distributed tomorrow morning. For the Italian strikers sardines and macaroni are provided: for the Bohe mians and roles, lentils and fish. The tastes of all nationalities are carefully considered. It Is apparent the garment-workers are weary of the struggle. They mlsht have accepted the employers' terms a week ago but for the agitators. The fact that some of these as-itators were ejected from the halls yesterday. In some rases betna- roughly handled, shows that the movement Is near the breaking- point. To avoid Intimidation and assaults by thugs, the vote on acceptance of the term offered by employers Is being taken secretly, to jrive the strikers an opportunltv to express their real opin ion, something that could not be ob tained If the vote was open to the scru tiny of professional agitators and sluggers.

The growing demand for shoes constructed without any substitutes for leather is'best evidenced by our increased sales. No Substitutes for Leather It is a fact that a large majority of all shoes made in a certain section and retailed from $2.00 to $3.50 per pair contain substitutes for leather. ' jn ' ' , i w iXo-i-v, The section that prides itself most on "artistic shoemakmg" uses the most substitutes for leather.. Long years of practice has enabled them to make shoes that look good from poor material. Finally, however, one has. to reckon with the wearer. Substitutes for leather can be made to look like leather, but they cannot be made to wear like leather The wonderful growth of the shoe business in the West is due to its early recognition of these facts, and the Roberts, Johnson & Rand Shoe Co. was the house to carry them into operation. The Pure Shoe Law, drafted by the Roberts, Johnson & Rand Shoe Co., and introduced both at Jefferson City and ashingtoHuW the last legislative sessions, was intended to protect the consumer against leather substitutes. Approved by .fhc' Government The same business principles which have made us strong with merchants and consumers have also enabled u?to secure witfiin the past two weeks a $452,000 Government contract for army shoes, amounting to 175,000 pairs. (This order is not included.in our Million-Dollar gain.) . This the largest shoe contract ever awarded by the Government to any one manufacturer, is a strong illustration of Sact that we are equipped to make any line of shoes requiring a fixed quality of materials and workmanship at a cost that cannot be equaled by any of our competitors , . , The Government buys shoes on fixed specifications requiring all leather. Since we make , aj 1 of our shoes out of all leather for all of our customers, no change was necessary m,ometaar; fore we were easily enabled to make the lowest bid to the Government. Quality fixed, we beat the price. 'Every wearer should adopt Uncle Sam's policy and demand shoes containing no substitutes for leather. Leading Advertised Brands FOR MEN: "R J.

Town Voted "Wef by Dozen Votes, Councilman Believes It Will Get Money Now Spent Here. VANCOUVER, Wash.. Dec. 1L (Spe cial.) A municipal saloon, to be con ducted along the best regulated lines possible, the profits accruing to go to the municipality of Camas. Is favored by John G. Eddings, chairman of the Board of Clark County Commissioners, and a resident of Camas. Camas, last year, was "dry.' but at the election in November was voted wet by about a dozen votes. At the municipal election Ieeember t. Council- men were elected who, it Is thought, will favor granting saloon licenses. According to the municipal plan. Camas Is to take out a license in the city's name, obtain a room in a good location, furnish It comfortably and stock it with the best liquors obtainable. A bartender Is also to be hired. The profits accruing from the business are to go into the city treasury for the benefit of the citi zens of the city. It Is estimated that the profits will more than meet the salary of the City Marshal, build concrete side walks and make other municipal Im provements. It is estimated that at least J3000 a month was taken to Portland during the "dry" regime, and it Is believed that amount In a similar period would be spent at the Camas municipal xbar. Mr. Eddings said tonight that the plan can be worked out legally. Hill Line Earn More Than Mil I lorn. SALEM. Or.. Dec. 11. (Special.)
