London, Sept. 7. British labor, ,
600,000 strong, has taken its stsand
against the Koverajpent In the Mac
Swlney Ust, as IrUh Republicans ex
hort the whole world to help them In
their fight by striking at Great Britain's
pocket-book through a financial, eoo-
noml t and Industrial boycott.
Here In the situation:
The great Portsmouth conference- of
fit delegates or the Trades Union con
gress passed a resolution reminding the
government that organised labor would
hold It responsible for MacSwiney's
death, should he die.
J. 1L Thomas, leader of miners, out
spokenly told the delegates that their
own council of action challenges the
present form of British parliamentary
government.
Thomas also demanded full dominion
home rule for Ireland.
MacSwiney's wife addressed an appeal
to sympathisers with the Irish cause,
the world over, to take part in an
economic boycott against Great Britain.
The same sort of appeal, but much
stronger, was flashed to Australia. Can
ada and South Africa by Art O'Brien,
president of the Self Determination
league.
Opening the Tortsmouth conference.
Thomas told the delegates that their
own council of action was the first
united and determined organization ever
to challenge the existing form of British
parliamentary government It was
dangerous undertaking to form the
council, Thomas admitted, looking back
at the job, because It certainly struck
t the traditional constitution of the
nation. But he told tils enthusiastic
followers, that the results had amply
Justified the risks.

Down Tools." the delegates snouted
the traditional .strike call of the
British workman, and the cheers of the
men rang deatenlngly through the halL
Then the resolution was read:
"This Conference views with horror
and indignation the government's
decision to allow MacSwiney to die. We
wish to remind the government that re
bellion was preached first in Ireland
by those who are now condemning to
death all others who are fighting tor
the freedom of their country. We, in
the name of the whole organised labor
movement hold the government re
sponsible for MasSwiney's death, should
he die, and remind the government that
such blind stupidity will render impos
sible any re-concltfation in Ireland."

satisfactory basis.

(Br I'sitsd Ntwt)
Washington, Sept. 7. Judicial pro
ceedings should be instituted against
associations which have been- re
straining trade in farm implements,
and the International Harvester case
should be reopened to effect a plan
of dissolution more drastic than the
one already agreed to, In the opinion
of thf federal trade commission.
The commission has Just made its re
port in response to a senate resolution
adopted last spring, after a searching
Inquiry into the farm Implement trade.
In the course of Its Investigation, the
commission says It was forced to the
conclusion that farm Implement manu
facturers and dealers advanced prices
In 1917 and 1918 by amounts larger than
their increased costs and expenses war
ranted, and that they made unusually
large profits in those years. On the
other hand. It states its belief that. In
spite of this Increase, the farmers of
the country were not prevented from
making as much profit as formerly, be
cause prices of their farm products in
creased In even greater proportion.
Another conclusion the commission ar
rives at is that the partial dissolution
of the International Harvester company
in 1911 "did not change the dominating
position of that company in tbe harvest
ing machine line, and will not do so
while the McCormlck and Deering plants
and the steel business remain united un
der its control, either directly or by
common ownership of stock."

UNDERWEAR
SpringpJccdlc 9
WOMEN do most of the buying of hosiery and under
wear, whether for men, women or children. Women
are careful buyers They like to know what they are getting,
where it comes from- the intent and responsibility of the makers
Ask the average woman about hosiery and
underwear; she will tell you she is less settled
in her buying habits and convictions than in
almost any other merchandise she buys.
Too often she feels that values are acci
dental, depending upon what she can find in the
stores.
When she finds just the goods she likes, she
is not always sure of getting them a second
time.
Stores carry too many lines Their stocks are
mixed and changing. Responsibility for quality
is thus scattered and divided.
Often the brand or trade-mark you see on
hosiery and underwear is not the name of the
Maker, but the mark of the jobber or middle
man who buys from, the .mill and sells to the
stores-
Responsibility should be direct from the
Maker to your Dealer arid you.
It is the purpose ot the Allen A Company
to put real conviction into the minds of hosiery
and underwear purchasers everywhere
To produce standard merchandise of known
