JEWISH , TRIBUNE IS OUT Special Annual Isuc Itcplrte With Article Bearing; on rroblrms. The special annual issue of th Jew Ish Tribune has Just made ita appear ance. Commencing with It attractive cover, emblematic of toe people it rep resents, tha Issue la replete with ar tides bearinc on tha Jews and the nroblema they are encountering. Among the contributor are oimon Wolf, known as the unofficial Jewish representative at ashlngton. who em Dhaslies the need for Jewish souaar Ity; Itabbl Martin A. Meyer, the lead- Ina- Jewish religious worker on me Pacific Coast and head of Temple Emanuel, of San Kranclsco: Rev. Dr. N. Muaessohn. the editor of the Jewish American" and denounces him as a myth. $600 Is Asked For to Provide Harry K. Wolff, grand president of tne Notice to the Public; We, the undersigned members of the Retail Meat Market Men's Association, desire to submit to tho public the actual facta concernini the difference now existing between the UNION MEAT CUTTERS and our members. The Union Meat Cutters are unconsciously being; exploited by certain so-called Labor Leaders, and have . declared us to be unfair to Organized Labor, thereby proving themselves unfair, aa they state to the public that they are contending for a ten-hour day, while the real fact is that the half hour contended for is mere subterfuge, and they fully understand that we cannot concede this and do justice to our customers, who require their meals delivered by 6:30 and 7 o'clock in the morning. Between the hours of 5:00 o'clock and 6:00 o'clock P. M. is also our busy time and all of our men mast be on duty at that time.. The Union demands a straight 10-hour day, which is impractical to us for the reason that the man who works at 6:00 A. M. must quit work at 5:00 P. M., just when we need him for the evening hours. We could have conceded even an hour outside of the rush hours, thereby granting the 10-hour day and more, but this would not suffice, as the Walking Delegate will not be satisfied unless we permit him to run our business and he dictate the terms, but we know of nothing in the constitution of this state, or of the United States, that obligates us to concede our rights of citizenship to any Walking Delegate, many of whom may not even be citizens of this country. We positively refuse to transfer our business to IRRESPONSIBLE AGITATORS, and in the future our business will be absolutely conducted on the OPEN-SHOP Plan, which involves a principle and not a con " ditlon. We will not, however, discriminate against any wage-earner by reason of any affiliation with Labor Or ganizations, as we make EFFICIENCY the basis of wages and employment, and not the possession of a Union Card. WE BELIEVE IN THE PUBLIC, and that they should know the facts, inasmuch as false statements have been made against us, and all we ask is that the PUBLIC investigate and accord us the patronage which our position as fair-minded business men and taxpayers deserves, and we respectfully request that the public take no action against any member of our association by reason of BOYCOTT BANNERS, as we should all be held equally to blame or blameless AS INVESTIGATION determines, and no member fa vored against the other. The fair-minded public should investigate the persons or merchants who join the Union as "Silent . Partners" by inaugurating a boycott against us by refusing to buy from Open Shop Members, this boycott being the most reprehensible of all and should find no favor with the public.. The names of these parties should be given to the public, so it might know who th ey are. Respectfully, JONES' MARKET (M. J. Jones). BAY CITY MARKET (Paul R. Spath). VETERAN MARKET (Robt. A. Sawyer).

I scarcely know what Is meant by stories of that kind, but 1 take It that the term means stories of everyday affair taken from life's real happenings. If that be true then th field la larjre and the material still larger, for during these holiday time there Is a atory of human Interest Just naturally oolng out of every father, mother, aister and brother and friend who buys a Christ mas pre.ent. be It larsje or small. The only difficulty Is In getting people to tell )ou of thilr Joys and their iroublea, a a a In a le-cent store I saw a motherly old lady looking lonxlngty at a toy dog. In her arms aha had many bundlca: upon her wrinkled face were many emiles. he wsa large and wholesome-looklnc. plainly but neatly dresaed. Yet upon her fa- beneath th smites was a troubled look. I sidled up lo the counter and aa she looked at me ah said In a cheery voire. -Merry Christmas to you. 'The same to tou." I replied, -and many of them." Tha Ic being broken ahe went on to tell that a month ao she thought Christmas would mean nothing to her or her little erlprled dauahier. the husband and father having been out of work for a long, long time.

But he was almost choking with the tear and could go no farther. aaa Into a great Jewelry store I wandered, where I supposed I would find some father or mother buying ex pensive trinkets for holiday gifts. Sure enough I saw a tatner. motner and daughter looking at diamond rings. Tb girl waa pouting, was cross. She waa richly dressed, she already had a diamond upon her flneer. her hat had cost enough to buy Christmas dinners for many poor people.

Christmas would not be a Joy ful day In their household. a a And then I found a story where least I expected on the street. standing across from th Perkins Hotel a lady approached me and asked me if I waa waiting for an "L" car. I replied, untruthfully, that I was. She had arm full of bundles and asked me if she could leave them with me until she went across the street and got the rest of her purchases. So I found myself with a dozen or so small pack age, but soon she returned with another load and asked me If I could wait a little longer while she bought a few more thlnaa. So soon I found myself the custodian of a mlscellaneuos assortment of teddy bears, woolly horses, mewing cats and climbing monkey, not to mention other various animals and mechanical devices and score or so of bundles of unknown contents. In tbe course of half hour sh reached the end of her purse and was ready to go home. I not only a.sleted her on the car and made of myself a Santa Claus laden with bundles, but I went with her and she told me her story. She was a widowed mother, with five children, too proud to appeal to the county for help she was making her own way by wash Ing. scrubbing, doing manual labor of any sort and having the assistance of two boys, one of 11 and one of IS, who sold papers mornings and night. "Kor they ail go to school every day and are learning splendid and are the best children. God bleas them, that a mother ever bad. I thought wre would have a lean Christmas but laat night these two manly fellow handed me II that they had saved up a penny or two at a time and told m to buy Christ mas presents for the whole family and some of their poor neighboring children." And with the blessed tears In her ryes and the happy blush on her cheeks and the love of God In her dear heart I left her. left her happy with her thoughts and her Christmas presents for her children and the poor neighbor. In one of the great department stores I spied a little maiden who was the picture of sweetness, of purity, of love and affection, "nappy. t saio to myself, "are the parents of a sweet girl like that." She was looking at kid glovea and aeemed In doubt as to what ehe ought to do. I approached her and with a cheery word she soon confided In me sufficiently to tell me that sh waa aolng to surprise her mother with a fine pair of kid gloves. "We have no money to buy Christmas present this year. I win not get a thing, but I have saved during tbe year a whole dollar and I am going to get mother a fine pair of gloves, for she does so dislike to go to church with bare bands and her old gloves are in tatters." I winked and wiggled my ears and strained my eyes in telegraphing to the young woman in charge of the glove counter that , the very best gloves they had were a dollar a pair. And as the little mis went out wltb her precious glove I somehow felt better for my small investment while she! Why she. God bless her. waa the very picture of one overflowing wltb Jui.." , I in tomorrow, "shoe-fitting day at Mutt headquarters.

Criticism of Methods Considered Amus ing: and Indlcatlona of Lack of Information on Culture, SALKM, Or., Dec. 21. (Special.) That the state is expending Its money wisely in fostering the flaxralsing in dustry In Oregon Is tbe belief of James Livingston, a pioneer flaxraiser of 50 years' experience in Michigan. In a letter received today by Governor Withycombe from James McColl. of the James Livingston Fiax Company, Ltd., of Yale. Mich., encouragement that the state's project will succeed Is offered, and the executive is lauded for his work. "I recently received from an un known source a number of clippings from Oregon papers bearing on the flaxralsintr industry in your state and criticising the management severely." writes Mr. McColl. "I understand from J. C. Cady that you were the originator of the industry in your state and han dle the same by prison labor. I felt thur vnu should be congratulated. "The clippings were rather amusing to read and it is evident the writer is not very well informed as to the proper handling of flax. Possibly some of the criticism is for political effect. No doubt some mistakes have been made, and we expect there always will be. "I explained your flax proposition to James Livingston, who is a pioneer in the industry, having been engaged in it the past 50 years. He is one of the most successful men in this part of the country. He stated frankly that in his opinion you were putting the state's money into one of the best in vestments possible under existing cir cumstances." Programme to Be Repeated.
