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.
