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.

Throueh sood years and bad, success has followed us-not by accident or chance, but because we have
estabffiPa Wthonsst shoes and have lived up to that standard. 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.

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.
