terpreters of the Constitutional rights of
the workers of the United States out of
business."
Parker did not spend all his anger upon
the Supreme Court. He reserved some of
It for tho present leaders of the labor
movement.
"The Supreme Court would never dare
to hand down such decisions," said
Parker, "If the labor movement was not
as conservative and Jelly-fish like as It
Is, If Mr, Compere und his crowd had
more backbone and would quit making
the labor movement the tall of the Demo
cretlo party. Mr. Gompers during his
entire career In the labor movement had
always preached 'no politics ln the un
ion', whilst he was dickering with the
political servants of the employing class,
trying to get from them alms for the
labor movement.
"What will Mr. Gompers say now?
What excuse can he offer now to the
workers of the labor movement for a
policy which Is nothing short of treason
to the labor movement? Unless the
workers wake up and use their political
power In their own Interest the labor
movement will go to smash.
BLOW TO UNION LABOR.
deorge H. Ulrlch, president of the
Central Labor Union, said the decision
virtually meant the taking away pf the
right of the workers to organize.
"This decision," said Ulrlch, "means I
can no longer go Into a s'nop and reason
with my fellow worker and explain to
him the advantages of organization. Be
cause the minute I do that the employer
has o right to discharge me and leave
me In the lurch. I think It Is an Infa
mous peace of work, a decision which
speaks louder than anything I might say
of the utter disregard of the Interests of
the workers by the Supreme Court of
the United States.
"It is all right to say a worker can re
fuse to work for an employer who Is
opposed to trade unlona. But we are
dealing with conditions and not theories.
Tho worker cannot afford, as an Individ
ual, to refuse to work when such a re
fusal means starvation for himself and
his family,"
J. Mahlon Bamea. a veteran member of
the Cigar Makers' Union and delegate
to the convention of the American Fed
eration of Labor, aaldt
"The decision of the Supreme Court
will be very gratifying to the Steel Trust,
the coal barons of Colorado, the copper
magnatea of Michigan and every other
unscrupulous and selfish employer of
labor. By this decision labor Is deprived
of all liberty to organise and conduct
Its battles for a better, cleaner, finer life.
"The Supreme Court has again shown
Itself In its true color.
"Labor Is not going to stop organizing.
We are going to keep up our great move
ment We are going to make it more
militant and aggressive than ,ever before,
and we are going to compel the Supreme
Court of the United States, by the force
of organization and public opinion, to
reverse it decision and stand on the
side of economic Justice and liberty in
stead of on the side of economic slavery
and oppression. Thla deeialon Is a chal

SUFFRAGIST SEES
VICTORY SOON IN
THE WHOLE U.S.
Mrs. Beatrice Forbes-Robertson
Hale Comes Here
From Visit to Coke Re
gions of State.
With praise for the Pennsylvania State
Suffrage organization, Mrs. Beatrice
Forbes-Robertson Hale, the suffrage or
ganizer, who has Just finished a tour of
towns In the coke region of this State,
this morning predicted that suffrage
would be countrywide within a very few
years. Mrs. Hale was the guest today of
Dr. Eleanor C. Jones', 1531 North 15th
street.
"I have Just concluded my tour through
Western Pennsylvania," Mrs. Hale said,
"and I r.m very much Impressed with the
change In public opinion on the question
of suffrage. I confidently believe this
change has spread nil over the country.
"I feel vary hopoful of Massachusetts,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey nnd New
York, where the question Is to go to
vote," she said, "1 think we eventu
ally 'shall win. If we are not victorious
at the first vote, we will then poll a good
minority and that will help us over the
bar at tho next election. I think the
spread of the movement from Wyoming,
the central State of the group of Western
States that have suffrage, Is the best
proof that a pleated customer Is the best
advertisement.
"As to the national situation," she con
tinued, 'I think we shall not succeed ln
getting the Federal amendment from
Congress at once, but I firmly believe It
will pass after about halt of the States
have adopted the principle, In this con
nectton, I think It very unfortunate that
Mr, gamma, one of the speakers at the
meeting last nlsht, should nave used the
expression that suffrage here will assume
the proportions of a 'sex light,' for the
expression & unfitting.
"There Is no hatred In this country be
tween men and women as to the ques.
tlon of suffrage," Mrs. Hale declared,
"The mind "f the American woman does
not provoke hatred. I think the respect
and attention accorded the women in the
first Philadelphia parade by tho men was
wonderful. It was such a contrast to the
manner of tho English men. But mill
taritm really does not express the actual
attitude of the English woman. It comes
from the minds of only two persons, Mr.
Pankhurst and Chrlstobal, her daughter.
There will be none of It after the war.
"I wish to say that the central tale
organization of the suffrage party in
Pennsylvania, and It head. Mrs. ftpes.
ing. are as toe a any I have found, he
concluded.

The man who said this to us the other day knows whaf s what in furniture.
Still, we said, "is that a fact, or just your opinion?" "Call it what you like," he

But where was the use of wasting words the proof was all around us in the

The February Furniture Sale
The World's Greatest Furniture Sale
By Every Test of Service
It happened that we were in the section of enameled bedroom furniture, of
which the assortment is probably greater than that of any three ordinary larg fur
niture stores combined. But these are only the floor samples. Back of ikem are ware
house reserves such as no furniture store ever held. '
This furniture store of several acres is only large enough to Bhow samples.
How could we show
The Thousand Bureaus ".'? ' ' ;"
that are now being held for us by one maker alone? -
Bring your common sense to bear upon the question of what groups, of this
kind mean to people with good money to invest m the things that go to make a worth
while home!
Don't you think there is bound to be economy, good and real, in this grqup?
Doesn't it seem reasonable to say that the quantity purchased compensates the maker
for' letting go some of his usual profit?
There is the most delightful lot of Jacobean oak dining room furniture here
that we have ever had, but all of it being at halved prices we can't say much about it,
because large as the assortment is, it is bound to go out quickly.
Three days of inspection Thursday, Friday and Saturday, January 28, 29 and 30.
