Governor Wilson began today the task of answering personally every one of the 10,000 letters and telegrams which he received since his nomina- tion. He dictated a hundred letters today but with a corps of extra steno- graphers the governor hopes to make greater impressions in his voluminous mail between now and the time of his departure for Chicago to attend the meeting of the national committee there on July 15. The only trip which Governor Wilson will take before leav- ing for -Chicago will be a run to At- lantic City next Wednesday to wel- come the national convention of build- ing and loan associations. If time permits the governor will stop off in Indianapolis on his way ‘o Chicago to visit his running mate, Governor Marshall.

Near the body was found an open va- | lise, in which were a number of bot- tles of medicine.

Washington, July 5.—Labor condi- ditions in the big textile mills at Law- rence, Mass., are subjected to a dras- tic criticlsm by the federal bureau of labor in its report to the senate on the textile workers’ strike in that city last winter. The report made no recom- mendations, but it stated that in order to live the father of a family must send either his wife or his child to the mills, and that the average pay received by 31000 employes during & week late in 1911 was $8.76, which was probably reduced during other weeks by lack of work.

Piatt Andrew, was asked to resign because he was inefficient. “The statement of Mr. MacVeagh that A. Platt Andrew was inefficlent is ab- surd,” was Senator Lodge’s comment.

Shouldn't it Pay?” Experience teaches and a little thought will show that it does pay to advertise as consistently for the next two or three months as during other periods of the year. 1t is highly signi- ficant that the great department stores spend & lot of money through the summer in advertising. One reason for this policy is no doubt that steady trade is the most economical. lowed to be dropped or cut down, trade drops too. Where advertising is al- This means that the clerks are not profitably employed and trade is lost which will never be made up. One great end and aim of advertising is to persuade the public that. a merchant has enterprise and intelligence.

Advertising People require many things for their summer outfits whether they are going away or stay- ing at home. Clothing, eatables and house furnishings peculiarly Buited to hot weather are wanted. The merchant who drops his ad- vertising in summer, says in effect to the public that he is Indifferent 1o their needs during a period of liberal spending.

About 23,000 persons were engaged at one time. Mill Managers Not Alive to Situation. “The serious nature of the trouble which threatened the mills was not appreciated by the mill managers,” according to the report. “In view of the large. number of non-English speaking operatives involved in this matter and of their excitable nature and the possibilities of serious disorder it they became thor- oughly aroused under the spirit of un- just or oppressive treatment, it seems strange this matter should have been allowed to drift along to the first pay- day without any effort being made to reach some agreement that would have prevented the outbreak.” Attitude of Millmen, the emploves that there would be no readjustment when the law went Into effect and another mill referred representatives to the main offices in Boston, KILLED THE WHOLE FAMILY FOR REVENGE.
