Meanwhfle Frank H. Dohany, prominent attorney and ban direc- tor, said to have been left alone with the union official when the party broke up, was in the psychopathic rard of a local hospital witha guard of detectives stationed at nis bedside, Dohany was taken into custody at his summer home at Pine Lake, near here, a few hours after the crime was Gincovered.

Broadway at Ninth New York “We now give Ju Store open at 9 Store closes at 5 of the deduction of one-fifth off our usual To Do the Right Thing at the Right Time is not always popular or successful. Fifty days ago, single handed and algne, we threw down the gauntlet to vigorously fight against Holding up war prices for necessities of life and to resist the efforts of legalized corporatims and private speculators to not only maintain existing high prices but to serve notice of intentions to demand further advances of prices at points of production. Without changing a ticket on the regularly priced twenty millions of dollars of merchandise in our stores and warehouses of New York and Phil- adelphia, we told the people to take for a brief time what they liked at one- fifth less than the usual price, which practically stripped off our profit. These goods were our own! Why not do what pleased ourselves? We believed then and believe now that it was true patriotism to let our mer- chandise go without profit, to put up our merchandise at lowered prices as a wall against higher prices, just the same as the wall of Liberty Bonds we took with others was necessary to show the enemies of our nation that we would do our utmost for the public good. Others were free to do the same, had they seen fit. We have no patents on business. Though the record of our whole business life is clear that we never made baits of books, jewelry, rugs or what-not to attract patrons, and though we stated plainly that for a brief time our trade movement was based upon a _ great idea of benefit to the public at large, there at once appeared interviews from antagonistic sources published in newspapers and trade papers supported by manufacturers and devoted to their interests. We were also quickly be- sieged by numerous producers of goods to not sell their goods at less than current prices, as though we. were their agents and not merchants working for the public good in a time of great discontent, using the merchandise which we owned and paid for that came to us raised to double and’ treble prices, from which we lopped off our usual profit in the movement as a beginning to stave off continuance of prevailing high prices. We have a long list of manufacturers, corporations and “others”? who urgently and persistently demanded that prices must be kept up to their . standards on pain of etc., etc., ete., the publishing of which would clearly indicate where and how high prices originate and are upheld. It would be quite contrary to our principles and practices to make this list public, though it added to hindrances in the practical work we have in hand, and we have only this one word to say, that high wages of the labor classes are not entirely to blame for the ruling high cost of living. Now then and finally Agreeably to the contract with the public in the first statement given out on the third of May, we now give notice that on Friday, the second of July, with the close of next Wee, (the store will be closed Saturday, July 3) WE Will terminate the privilege of the deduction of one-fifth off our usual prices which we affirm will always be as they have been, just and right, quality considered. : Counting from today there remain only the ensuing nine days of the privilege of taking our goods at one-fifth off. We submit we have kept the faith. The invoices we hold of new mer- chandise that came into our Stores during this great Patriotic Movement show the actual cost, without profit, of $12,224,504, which put into circu- lation that sum and to that extent relieved the financial stress in certain quarters. It seems proper to add that the stamp of approval of the measures we adopted, with slight exceptions, has encircled the world and that the insistence first given here that our buyers shall not make commitments for merchandise at advanced prices has been effective for the public good. By this we shall stand. The doing of the right thing at the right time, in making a practical protest against combinations hglding up war prices and attempting to persist in advances, is a mercantile “Declaration of Independence.” (Signed) 1 June 23, 1920. shit iti i N ease é « : i 100 negligees, from our regular stocks.
