friendship. Leaving her in the
house while they were away, upon
their return they found the home
was nearly demolished. Then the

Independent
Attacks Plans
of Chain Stores
Frank Grimes of the I. G. A. In
terests Tells of the Evil of
the Present Day,
Seven hundred members of the
Ad-Sell league. present Monday
night at Omaha for the first program
cf the league's season of 1929-30,
applauded vigorously the verbal ex
changes of two debators engaged in
an hour and a half dispute on
whether the chain store system is a
national menace.
The debaters were Godfrey M. Leb
bar of New York City, editor of
Chain Store Age, who defended chain
merchandising against assaults of J.
F. Grimes of Chicago, organizer of in
dependent retailors and president of
one of the nation s largest associa
tions of independent merchants.
It wtf a "no decision bout, but
variance in the volume of applause
accorded the two speakers indicated
sympathy of a large portion of the
audience with the appeal of the Chi
cago debator that business men of
"cities like Omaha act to prevent the
United States from becoming a na
tion in chains."
Paints Gloomy Picture.
The debate was referred by State
Senator James A. Rodman, new presi
dent of Ad-Sell, who wecomed mem
bers to their new headquarters at
the Fontenele hotel.
A gloomy pietuie of chain store
organizations stretching forth vast
tentacles to kill small towns, destroy
business opportunities for young
men, hold farmers at their mercy in
Felling produce, and building an en
ormous financial power centered in
a few large cities was presented by
Mr. Grimes.
"It is more than a mere co-inci
dence that depression in agriculture
the past 10 years has followed the
extension of chains," he said.
' The I.fr of the small town, and
that's the fanner's market, is in re
tail stores and banking. The chains
ore destroying and replacing the re
tail stoves.
The banks are giving
up. The rarirer is oemg rorcea ini.i
his usual market to a market farthei
away. There is no longer the coin
petition there v.-as in buying his pro
duce; the price is forced down.
"Cities Built on Profits."
"In cities like Omaha, growth has
been based on the retail and the
wholesale business. But when the
chain comes in. taking all the prof
its of business, and sending them
elsewhere, Oiaaha loses. Cities rre
built, upon rofits and nothing ele.
The chain rin.ply milks the commun
ity." The economic paralysis in small
er conimunitics'tlirt will come if the
chain's continue to grow, is not the
only evil. Mr. Grimes believes.
"What about our young raen?" he
asked, and then answered: "They
are finding the doors of opportunity
closed to ih em. The men who have
made their mark in this country
have beer, given the opportunity to
develop their talent, and test it. in
small towns, in independent busi
ness. When the chains comes, that
field is closed. They speak of oppor
tunity in large organizations, but
it is opportunity for only a few. The
limited number of positions at the
top are gained by very few; and in
between and at the bottom there is
nothing.
Says Wages Reduced.
"The chain store is the only eco
nomic agency in this country today
that is reducing wages. In every
thing else there is a welcome ten
dency toward better salaries. In
chain organizations, when prices are
forced down too, in order to enable
a profit to be made. That is alto
gether wrong and dangerous.'
In Chicago, Mr. Grimes has been
engaged in getting independent deal
ers in a number of retail lines to
pool their strength in resisting
chains. He spends a good deal of
his time in going about the country
seeking to arouse local business in
terests to active warfare against the
chain stores.
"Their growth is not inevitable,"
he said. "They can be defeated on
their own ground. They can be beat
en for economic reasons, and should
be beaten for economic reasons, if
life in the small towns, life on the
farms, prosperity in the market cen
ters like Omaha, and opportunity for
Americans, is to conitnue in the fu
ture as it has in the past."
Lebhar Defends Chains.
On apostle of the chain stores, is
Godfrey M. Lebhar.
Efficiency, which in the end means
the greatest good for the greatest
number, is the reason for the grow
ing power of the chains, he said.
He scouted the suggestion that
chains, by taking the place of in
dependent businesses in towns large
and small, were going to make this
a nation of clerks.
"Instead of wailing about the
chain stores," he said, "let the inde
pendent retailer borrow the chain
store ideas, and he can find success.
All he has to do is visit the chain
store next door.
"While the economic advantages
of the chain system i.s the reason
for , the rapid growth of the prin
ciple in this country, I realize that
there is, also, a social question in
volved. "But nothing economically un
sound can be socially sound. Noth
ing economically sound can b had.
socially. In the end, the growth of
the chains must mean greater pros
perity for everyone. You do not need
to fear too great an extension of fi
nancial power. We have learned in
this country that an attempt to im
pose financial or economic tyranny
always fails.
. May Cause Distress.
."It is. true that no great' change
in distribution or production ran
corae about without causing a cer
tain, dfcicu:: ct distress. Ths corn
ing cf na3 production, the Indus-
trial revolution, the introduction of
labor-saving machinery, meant dis
tress for many hand workers. But in
the end the greatest good to the
greatest number triumphs.
"Fortunately, these changes come
about gradually, and nearly every
one is able to adjust himself to the
new idea, without much pain."
Can't Enter All Fields.
Mr. Lebhar says he has noted,
with pleasure, that independent as
sociations of merchants, by adopt
ing many of the economic policies of
the chains, have prospered amazing
ly. He says, too, that there are cer
tain fields of business which do not
adapt themselves to the chain sys
tem, and never will.
"The chains," he said, "are best
fitted to the handling of staple com
modities, and those in which there
is a quick turnover. In fields of
business where the turnover is slow,
where the commodity is subject to
shifts in style, where the chairs can
not exercise a control over demand
or foresee the trend, their system does
not apply. That is and will be the
field for independent business."
Eighteenth
'Amendment a
Sad Mistake
People Too Proud to Change Law
and Admit Error, Speaker at
Police Meeting Avers.
Marshalltown, la., Sept. 18. The
Eighteenth amendment was char
acterized as a mistake but with the
people too proud to change the law
and thus admit the error, by T. T.
Keliher. Chicago, special agent for
the Illinois Central Railway com
pany, before the annual convention
of Iowa police chiefs here today.
"The law," said Keliher, "is for the
purpose of protecting our persons,
our property and our rights against
the encroachments of others. It is
not for the purpose of regulating the
everyday lives of citizens who do not
need such supervision. We are all
for this law just so long as it ap
plies to the other fellow and not to
jus. But what a cry g"oes up when the
authorities try to make it apply
everywhere."
Chief of Police Alber of Des Moines
rapped the state parole law after
M. A. Welch, former Waterloo chief
of detectives, had commented upon
the dragnet system as an "unair
means of apprehending criminals."

The Lindberghs now plan only to

Discuss Yorld
Tariff Issues
British, United States and Canadian
Chambers Delegates Meet
is Canada.
Edmonton, Alta. Taking as its
keynote Canadian economic partner
ship, 300 delegates from Great Brit
ain, the United States and Canada
attending the Canadian Chamber of
Commerce conference in Edmonton
discussed plans for furthering inter
empire trade.
W. M. Birks of Montreal, president
of the Canadian Chamber of Com
merce, stated that with the increas
ingly higher tariffs focused against
Canada their neighbors were willing
to sell to Canadians, who were their
largest customers, but were appar
ently unwilling to buy from them.
Urging freer trade within the em
pire, Mr. Birks stated that the meth
ods of their neighbors to the south
were such that a shipment from Can
ada could be held at the border and
their tariff almost overnight made
prohibitive. .
The Canadian Chamber of Com
merce now includes 175 boards of
trade and chambers of commerce.
The committee on commercial arbi
tration recommended that there be
obligatory arbitration between mem
bers of any chamber of commerce on
the request of either. Complete co
operation between parties would in
volve an award within 21 days after
the decision to arbitrate, and the set
ting up of an arbitration committee
of the Chamber of Commerce which
would promote the uses of commer
cial arbitration and give aid in in
ternational disputes. , j
William Butterworth, president of
the American Chamber of Commerce
headed a delegation from the United
States and the Earl of Stafforn and
Charles Luke of the London Times
were among the delegates.
"The big neighbor of the partner
ship" was the theme chosen by Mr.
Butterworth. He urged a Canadian
and United States reciprocity, free
from all political interference, a re
ciprocal exchange of ideas and a
reciprocal study of problems and as
pirations. Before the opening of the Edmon
ton session over 300
delegates en-
joyed a
four-day tour of the Peace
River country, now in harvest array,
where the importance of an outlet to
the Pacific coast for the northern Al-
berta crop was impressed upon the
delegation. A trip to Jasper National
Park also preceded the opening meet-
ings in Edmonton, and following tne
sessions the delegates journeyed 200
miles south to Calgary, where the interest projects. Of the amount, $1.

Four noted westerners addressed
the gathering, stessing the import-
ance of partnership in Canadian com-
merce and in international relations.
These speakers included H. W. Wood.
president of the United Farmers of
Alberta; R. J. Hutchins, president of
the Canadian Manufacturers Asso-
elation .and J. H. Woods, chairman
of the Empire Press Union of Canada.
The part taken by agricultural co
operative marketing, manufacturing
and the press in Canadian develop
ment and commerce were the main
themes of the opening session of Cal
gary's two-day conference.
YOUNG SUNDAY IS DIVORCED
Los Angeles Mrs. Julia Mae
Sunday Thursday was granted a di
vorce from William Ashley Sunday,
son of the evangelist, in superior
court.
Mrs. Sundav testified they were
married in Yuma, Ariz., April
1928. About six months ago, she
said, his interest in her began to
diminish, and they separated Inst
Jirhe 10, after they invited guests
to a party at their beach home for
that night.
"He refused to give reasons for
leaving me at parties, rof ro com-
ing home late," Mrs. Sunday testi-
tied. "I asked him if ho was inter-
ested in another woman and he said
he was. I never knew who she was."
Mrs. Adela Rogers St. Johns Hy-
land, an author, who testified for
Mrs. Sunday, said she often was in-
vited to parties with the couple. She
said many times Sunday departed
early leaving his wife "to get home
the best she could."
Sunday did not contest the action.
A property settlement was made out
of court, attorneys said, but its terms
were not revealed. I
