North Platte, Ncbr, J Ordlnnrlly tho Chamber ot Com rnorco pays no attention to tho malic ious and untruthful stories that from time to time are circulated rogarding cortaln notions roputcd to havo been taken by tho organization but tho ono oxcoptiou is mado in tills lnstanco In branding as absolutely untruthful tho report that tho Chamber of Commorco dictated what wugo should bo paid to laborers on raving work or suggested ur recommcnucu n cortaln wage, or informed tho contractor that men could bo secured for 30 conts an hour. These charges are not only falsehoods but aro absurd, and that thoy aro falso will bo verified by Mr. Abel, head of tho AboL Construction. Co., or by Mr. Franklin, tho general Buporin tenuont or construction, if tho cir culators of tlio reports havo a desiro to play fair and will interviow those gentlemen. Why should tlio Chamber of Com morco doslro n low wage for work men? Nearly one-half its membership aro morchants of ono alass or another who aro intorested in selling tho larg est volume of merchandise posslblo, and is It not roasonablo to presume that tho higher tho wngo tho laboror receives tho moro merchandise tho laborer will bo in position, to buy? Thou why should a morchant favor n low wage and Uiub curtail tho volume of his business? Tho only action tho Chamber of Commorco has takon :n tho paving work was to wait upon Mr. Franklin When ho cahio horo In advanco of con struction work and urged upon him tho jufltlco und fairness of employing North Platto rosldonts in preference to non-residonts of "floaters." Tills Mr. Franklin agreed to do, and at his suggestion, and in order that ho . or his foromen might know who wore or who woro not actual residents, appli cants for work woro requested to call at tho Chamber of Commorco office, givo thor names nnd street address and rocoivo a card upon which was writ ten their name, whether slnglo or married and that thoy'.doslred work, About ninety of theso cards woro is sued, and Mr. Leo, tlio general foro man, gave employment to nearly all tho mon who prosonted cards. Some of theso mon worked until thoy could Bocuro omploymont at higher wages, others aro still on tho Job. Tho Chamber of Commorco has ab aolutoly a clean record in its nttl tudo toward union labor nnd laboring peoplo in general. When tho National Chambor of Commorco and tho Nebr aska Chambor of Commorco early last year gavo ovidonco of loaning toward Uio "open shop" tho North Platto Chambor ot Commorco promptly -with drow from both organizations and has since been consistent in its position. It was Instrumental last winter in or ganizing tho Associated Charities which took caro of about ninety fam ilies of unemployed mon and others that noedod help; urged that paving work bo startod ns oarly as posslblo In ordor to holp out tho unemployed mon and glvo work to teamsters. It devoted much timo last fall and dur ing tho winter to finding employmont for mon out of work and was ably asslstod by Frank DlBtol nt tho Silver Front cigar store In fact, tho Chambor of Commorco courts an Investigation of any and all Its work by ovory fair minded mnn In North Platto. Anyone who is In terested In tho wolfaro of tho city Is cordially Invited to attond tho Thurs day, noon meetings ot tlio directors and learn what tho organization has done, is doing or attempting to do In a community way, and further than this, if any labor organization, or Joint meeting ot labor organizations, or any body ot laborors doslro to call beforo them tho' board of directors o' tho Chambor ot Commorco to mako In quiry as to tho board'o action on somo particular matter or on questions in gonornl in which tho board has Intor ested ltsolf, tho board will bo glad to respond. Tho Chambor of Commorco was or ganized for tho oxprcss purposo ot dovotlng Its energies toward a big ger and bottor North Platto and Uiat purposo has boon consistently main tained; and when eomcono says that tho organization Is for tho direct ben- iflt of Us mombors, tho man or wo man making such a statement is dens ely ignornnt of tho facts. Tho Chambor of Commorco is plny ing tho gamo fair, and In roturn tho offlcerc and directors ask you to bo fair with thom in rofralnlng from cir culating stories which nro without foundation and thcreforo falso, and by appearing beforo tho board or tho officors and directors ask you to be lvo to mattors of community Import toward which thoy aro directing their energies.
