On his staff Stinnes has even members of the nobility—such as counts, and’ countesses working. for small salaries, though he grants bonuses to keep pace with the high cost of. living.

The head of his gren newspaper, “The. Deutsche Allegemeine - Zei- tung,” here is Captain Humann, one of the best known of the German Navy group. His private sccretary is ex-Major L. Osius. And through- out_his organization the men who hold positions of trust are men who had:a prominent part in directing the course of the war on Tand and an sea. Stinnes' believés that these men are among "the best organizers in the world.

Babson appealed to the merchants |to study the “self help” stores. He Ibelicves that the small — merchant Has great opportunity if he will only adopt modern methods and adver- tise more. He insists that the public does not demand the Chain Stores but rather demands economigal and convenient service, People buy from the chain stores because that is the only place in their community that they can get such service, he con- tinued. “Chain stores’ are having a tre- mendous run today. They are spring- ing up like weeds in every com- munity. Local merchants arc begin- ning to become panic stricken. They fear that the chain store i s to Grocers, druggist, and clothing dealers are especially troubled. ‘Considering the tremendous number of small merch- ants this is a problem in which ti-_ver,vone should, be . interested. There, are for instance” over 300,000 independent grocers in this country. To have their business wiped out Would result in a tremendous ec- onomic . appeal. All together there are over 1,000,000 small merchants in America who arc vitally inter- ested in this problem, as they will be wiped out if the chain store proves to be the legitimate method of merchandising. “Personally I feel that (Continaged ‘on page 6) 0DD FELLOWS PICNIC ~ DELAYED INDEFINITELY Grand Master M.

MINE STRIKE| Calls Upon Striking Miners and Operators to Resume Operations at Once (By United' Press) Washington, July 1 '—President Hardmg today called upon the strik- ing miners and coal operators of the country to resume mining op- erations 4t once and adjust their differences in joint conferences. Speaking before officials, Presi- dent Hardmg issued a warning to the warring factions that unless the strike is settled soon the. federal government in the interest of the public will exert its vast power and force an ending. ' The President has mentioned the mcnace the country faces because of the dwindling coal supply, and informed both operators and min- ers that the intercst of the public must be protected and that the gov- crnment proposes to take steps to that ¢nd, Unless the strike is ended during the conference here they will be immuned from the anti- trust laws. Attorney General Daugherty ‘was present and backed up the ‘words of the President. Miners were frankly pessimistic when they went to the white house. John L. !Lewis natibnal president of the United Mine Workers and union officials stated openly their opinion that the operators called to Washington were hand picked and would never agrec to meeting the miners on = national scale. This charge was vigorously denied by the president of the national coal association, who declaréd the oper- ators assembled were a representa- tive group.
