MEMBERSHIP IS OVER THOUSAND Veterans of Foreign Wars Plan Many Activities For the Near Future - Captain Howard L. Calder Post, No. 31, at its regular meeting last eve ning obligated a large class of new members, which makes the member ship well over the thousand mark for the local post. Owing to the rap id growth, the post is compelled to look for larger quarters with social rooms which will be open at all times to its members. The post is also planning many so cial events for the coming winter, among which will be their annual military ball, which will be held sometime in November or December. Information received by the Post is to the effect that General John J. Pershing, charter member of Dawton Post, No. 27, Manilla, P. 1., and Com mander-in-Chief of the A. E. F., was voted an honorary Commander-in- Chief of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. General Pershing has been a member of this organization for about twenty years. "The impression of some people that the Veterans of Foreign Wars dis criminate, in that they do not take into their organization other than foreign service men is wrong," a statement by the Post says. "Should we alter our constitution, our princi ples would be thrown to the 'four winds.' We are comrades whose in terests are identical, and whom our Government has seen fit to especially recognize. We are not antagonistic to other organizations whose prin ciples are purely patriotic. "Our organization teaches loyalty to our country first, last and all the time, there can be no slackers or pa cifists among us." Use McNeil's Cold Tablets. Adv. " IHI.I, 11)01—2356 UNITED HAKHISBUKU.

HXItftISBtTRG USSHj TEI.EGR3JPH IF UNIONS WIN, MILLS WILL DECAY, GARY WARNS Presenting Corporation's Side in Probe, He Declares U. S. Cannot Keep Up in Race With World; Means Dropping of Production, He Says By .4 ssociatcd Press. Washington, Oct. 2.—lf unions control industries in the United States "it means decay and the drop ping of production," Judge Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the board of the United States Steel Corporation, declared in presenting the corpora tion's side of the steel strike to the Senate investigating committee. , "It means this country can not keep up in the race with the world," said Mr. Gary. "It means the con dition I fc/ir England is in to-day." Open Shop Big Issue Reiterating that the "open shop" was the big issue in the present strike, Judge Gary declared that it was "the opinion of the world that open shops mean more production, better methods and more prosperity, and that closed shops mean lower production and less prosperity. "Here were these men," said Gary, referring to the steel workers' na tional committee, "starting out, not for better pay, for better conditions —we'd never heard of their 12 points but to get control of this indus try. And what that means, I think you know." Referring to testimony of Presi dent Gompers, of the American Fed eration of Labor, that Jefferson D. Pierce, a union organizer, had been beaten by company agents while at tempting to organize unions in the steel mills and died from injuries, Judge Gary read an affidavit which he said had been sent to his office on September 27 by Pierce's son. Withholds Telegrams Judge Gary declined to disclose the contents of messages sent him by President Wilson in an effort to avert the steel strike. He said he did not regard it as proper for him to make the communication public, but Chairman Kenyon asked him to think over his refusal while the committee was in recess for lunch. The present average wage of un skilled laborers of the corporation, the witness said, is $5 per day and Of the skilled $6.70, "Under the open shop practice," be said, "the man is treated accord ing to his merits." Judge Gary said 68,284 of the cor poration's employes worked a 12- hour day; 198,882 a ten-hour day and 99,850 average an eight-hour day. The witness said the general ave rage of wages in manufacturing plants of the corporation was $2,93 in 1914, and $6.27 in 1919. In the coal and coke works the average in 1914 was $2.74 and in 1919, $5.20; in the iron ore works, the averages were $2.75 and $5.70; while in the corporation's shipbuilding yards, this year, the average was $5.53. In transportation work of the corpora tion, he said, the 1914 rate was $2.71, against $5.02 this year. Mis cellaneous employes received $2.26 in 1914 and $4.48 this year.
