New Mexico.
Tears for Nonunion Men
'Unions are endeavoring to compel
employers to contract with them,"
Judge Gary answered, "and when that
is done, nouunion men cannot be em
ployed." "What good i il for men to belong to
unions." said Senator Wal'li. Demo
crat, Mas&aclmoctts. "if. wliou they
join, ou rrfuc to di-nns nnj thing
with their lepievnlutiies''"
'Is it light. " Judge (nut coun
tered, "for II) per tent of the men
who may belong t" unions to dictate
conditions for the other 00 per cent?"
"No," said Mr. Gary. "I'm sorry If
I differ with you, or with others."
"I'm sorry for hundreds of thousands
of suffering families," Senator Walsh
retorted.
Sticks to Open Shop Issue
Mr. Gary protested tbnt his position
bail not been fairly explained nnd added,
with careful choice of words:
"We put ourselves squaicly upon the
issue that this is n question of the open
or closed shop. Now bb to what will
tiling about the closed shop we must de
cide, from time to time, depending upon
the facts presented.
"At the present time, the union lead
err bate brought about this strike,
which is no more nor less than an at
tempt of a minority to secure control
of the interests of the large majority
including not only the emplojcrs, but
tin, cmplojcs."
"That's what jou say; they say thc
represent a majority," Senator Walsh
interrupted. "Is there any reason why
wo should not leavo that to arbitra
tion?" Judge Gary protested that ho had not
been allowed to complete his statement,
but Senator Walsh broke in.
"I want to know, jes or no, whether
you will see any representatives of or
gnnized labor, l'leasc answer that jca
c or no."
"With all due respect," said Judge
(iur.t, with flushed face, "I cannot au
wcr yes or no."
Sees Danger of .'Minority Hule
"If the minority could succeed in se
curing control," said the wjtness, "that
would bring nbout tho closed shop.
Therefore, at this particular time, the
circumstances are different than ever
ciited befoie in this country. I doubt
if j on ienli7e the danger of the minority

"If they should make such a dis

Senator Jones said. "Tho public is
vitally interested, if your polity now
is to refuse to accept nny compromise,
we might as well quit uow."
"We interpret public sentiment in
this country differently," said the wit
ness, "I believe tho attitude of the
public first demands that absoluto peace

man protected.
"If that is done public sentiment will
enforce decency and Justice. Tho strong
est force we hate is an enlightened pub
lic interest.''

Overbuilt or Underbuilt
A Motor Truck that is overbuilt is just
as poor an investment as one that is
underbuilt. A truck that is built to
justify a price made necessary by low
production and resulting high overhead,
and wide margin of profit per truck is
as uneconomic as a truck that is under
built to be underpriced.
Bethlehem Motor Trucks arc neither
built-down to a price nor up to justify a
price. They are balanced. They arc
the proper combination of quality and
price that makes for greatest value. They
are willing to be judged as trucks should
be judged on their ability to trans
port and the cost of the transportation.
Bethlehem Dependability is a known
quantity to thousands of Bethlehem
owners. Buy your MotorTruck on Facts.

Let's get right down to rock-bottom
fads. How much actual clothes val
ues have you been getting for your
money and how much have you been
paying for excessive rents, free dc-

window trimmers and a score of
oilier unnecessary "overhead"

An Exploded Superstition
YEARS AGO, women wept when their husbands took out life
insurance. Occasionally, now, a woman protests when her
husband speaks of making his will harking back to the
medieval notion that making one's will was "signing your death
warrant."
Insurance statistics show that the men who make wills actually live
longer than the men who do not.
For the protection of herself and her children, every woman should
know that her husband makes his will, now, when he. is in sound
health.
Wc cordially invite women to ask for pamphlet "The First
Step In Making Your Will," and to call and talk over
any estate, trust, or financial matters with our officers.

high rents don't make your suit fit
