RADLE PIANO Has Proven the Sincerity of Its Makers These Pianos are not something new on the market, they have been manufactured since 1850. ’ Just think—A well-known standard make Piano for Only $375.00 We quote from the Presto Buyers’ Guide, the statements of which are un- questioned by the entire trade. “The beginning of this progressive industry dates back to 1850. The pro- prietor, E. J. Radle, is a son of the founder and he has achieved continued suc- cess. The house is progressive and has come to be an important one in the piano manufacturing industry of piano manufacturing world quality in tone, materials and workmanship.” the country. and the product of his Mr. Radle is highly regarded in the factories is of high-grade And the facts are these—that a manufacturer buying from a manufacturer makes possible our extremely low price on this piano of Only $375.00 It is true that reliable dealers, even at this time, are selling this piano at a much higher price, but the Bush & Lane Piano Company, true to their policy of selling the best for the least possible price in standard pianos—is selling this instrument now At $375.00 And on reasonable terms even at this price. If you are going to buy a piano, now or in the future, it will pay you to see this piano.

Defending the system of the American Federation of Labor, he} [asserts the “officers of the federa-| tion,” and not the system, have/| |“falien down.” , Cannot Succeed Under the head “One Big Dis- ruption—-Not Union,” his letter is |published in the State Federation Bulletin Friday: “In taking the stand of opposing the so-called ‘One Big Union’ move ment, as launched at the western ‘conference of labor, held in Calgary this spring, let me distinctly state that I am not opposed to industrial unionism, or the ideals and aims of labor as set forth at that confer ence. I have been a member of the miners, the greatest industrial labor organization on this continent for many years, and therefore could not logically oppose any real or sincere movement that had for its object the consolidation of all labor forces “I am setting forth some of the reasons for opposing this so-called ‘One Big Union’ movement, which while it may accomplish a certain amount of good in arousing the membership and impressing upon our international officials the neces sity of broadening their views, will rtainly never succeed in uniting labor under the ‘One Big Union.’ “1—I regard it as the acme of-ah {surdity to talk of ‘Oné Big Union’ j with a secession of our international affiliation. | 1 cannot regard the movement as anything more | deliberate attempt at di dat a time when every nerve and effort should be extended to consolidate our forces. You will notice that prac tically no machinery has been cre ated to carry out the so-called ‘One Big Union’ beyond the ‘central com mittee’ of five, the collection of a 2 per cent per capita tax from the va- rious unions, and the taking of what is termed a, ‘referendum ballot.” ‘3—The method of taking this bal-| lot and the absolute powers given the ‘central committee’ in counting and tabulating same are something that has no parallel in the annals of in dustrial unionism “4-—So far as I am able to this ‘central committee’ can r late the vote so as to er jority or a minority; whicheve as expedient. We have not exhausted the} possibilities of international industri- al unionism, and all future labor or- ganizations, whether conceived in Ja or the States, must be inter nal in character and scope-—not national. present than a Only Officers Hit “§—Absolutely no solid or logical argument has ever been adduced to prove the ineffectiveness of the in- ternational union, Ajl arguments have been directed at the officialdom of the same, And it is neither strange nor wondrous that the officials (or ‘central committee’) of the so-called ‘One Big Union’ are already receiv- jing their share of criticism. “7—Industrial trades unionism jp must start with the organizations of | or those who displayed so much zeal | had “| One Big Union, and who had seceded | milestone for the system af national highways submitted. Not Personal Attack i “I do not wish to make any per. sonal attack upon the individuals comprising the ‘central committee,’ in promoting this movement, but! most of these men (until quite re-| cently) regarded the trade union movement and industrial union move- ment as something so antiquated and obsolete that they reserved their most scathing sarcasm to condemn it “They never neglected an opportu- | nity to abuse and discredit the offi-| cials of any trade organization, while honesty of purpose and sincerity they | regarded as so much sentiment and nonsense—except, of course, when| they found themselves involved After years of these tactics we find} them out to save the worker thru the medium of the ‘One Big Union, and ready to take the funds of these unions to propagate their ideas, “I am of the opinion that the last thing they wish to do is form any | union, but that they do most sincere: | ly hope to disrupt our present organ ization in the foolish belief that ‘they | must disrupt and destroy before they | can build’-—the old moss-grown phil: | osophy of the dismalist, ‘that condi tions must be worse before they can be made better.’ | “Personally, 1 ha ifficlent con: | fidence in the common sense of the | worker, who will not be stampeded into pulling down the shack y ing himself at the mercy of the cap- italist elements—until he has built his house.
