Schaffer, who is said to have charged for work he did not do, was arrested at the instigation of the automobile dealers themselves, went out of business, and tho a petition has been circulated in his behalf, there have been no signers to date, he said. He emphasized the necessity of cooperation in business which cannot be brot about so long as men will not be willing to trust the other fellow. He suggested that if you think some other fellow who is in your line of business is a grand rascal, just go around and get acquainted with him, and maybe you will find he is as honest as yourself, maybe more so. Of course, he admitted, the other fellow can never come up to the pedestrian on which you are placed, but if you will give him a chance he will come nearly to it. He stated that little business and big business cannot be separated any more than a kite and its tail, but when one falls so falls the other. He compared the business man who would not enter into cooperation with other business men as a switch engine, who is always going but never gets anywhere, while the cooperative business men were compared to the California limited which starts out at a given time for a given point, and GETS THERE. He gave a few instances of the effect it had on the business of certain men to develop a trust-theother-fellow policy, and put their goods in the open, where they can be seen. It is absolutely essential to mingle with the other fellow and get his ideas, for if you talk only to yourself and the wife, you'll never make any progress. Knocking the other fellow only brings the great man to the top, he said. Most men try to sell on the other man's demitrify. It's not how good my goods are, but how rotten the other fellow's goods are. Gentlemen, that's not the way to do business. Admit the other fellow has something that's good, but show them you've got something just a little better. Believe the other fellow till you find him cheating. You will get out of anything just what you put into it. He then launched his attack against the California Farm Bureau Exchange, saying that if the farmers started cooperative buying what was to prevent the druggists, the doctors, the lawyers and everyone else from ALLEGED LIBEL CASE THROWN OUT COURT CHICAGO, Oct. 15.—The suit for $10,000,000 brought by the city against the Chicago Tribune for alleged libel was thrown out of court today by Circuit Court Judge H.

Admit the other fellow has something that's good, but show them you've got something just a little better. Believe the other fellow till you find him cheating. You will get out of anything just what you put into it. He then launched his attack against the California Farm Bureau Exchange, saying that if the farmers started cooperative buying what was to prevent the druggists, the doctors, the lawyers and everyone else from doing it. It would drive the retailers out of business, ruin the cities, and at the same time would bring the farmers into captivity to certain large business houses where they would have to do their purchasing. They would lose the advantage of selecting from whatsoever retailer they might choose, and the city would lose its imposing rows of business houses and become decadent. He did not deny the moral and legal right of the farmers to organize for cooperative buying, but he declared that it is fundamentally wrong, since it would redound to the hurt of the community. He declared that the retailer does fill a legitimate niche in the community and that this cooperative buying, if carried on to the limit, would be the greatest possible menace to the community, since it would take the money out of the community. In answer to a question, Martland said there is no cooperative buying in the automobile industry. "We practice what we preach," he said. There were a number of questions and short comments by both members of the automobile association and members of the Farm Bureau since there were a large numt of farmers present. One farmer declared: "If organization is the proper thing for selling, it is also the proper thing for buying. Mr. Martland's chief opposition to the plan is a fear that it might be a success. I will have to refrain from a spirit of charity to the retailer. If the retailers can't stand against cooperative buying, then the retailer must go. As for your cities losing their beautiful buildings, we don't care. Cooperative buying is coming as sure as the sun rises." If the NABBED AS LEAVING LOS ANGELES, Oct. 15.—Morris Wolfsohn, former hat and cap manufacturer, who recently forfeited an $8000 cash bond after being arrested on a charge of concealing assets in bankruptcy proceedings, was re-arrested today by Deputy U.

Although President Harding in conferring in Washington with the public group of the railway labor board on some measure to avert the strike, Lee declared that "nothing in the world can avert the strike now." The proposal of the railway executives for an immediate 10 per cent reduction in wages is responsible for the crisis, Lee said.

President Harding in conferring in Washington with the public group of the railway labor board on some measure to avert the strike, Lee declared that "nothing in the world can avert the strike now." The proposal of the railway executives for an immediate 10 petrol reduction in wages is responsible for the crisis, Lee said. "It is a fight to a finish for the life or death of our organization," said Lee. "Perhaps it is a fight to our death, for we are not going into it blindly." "The leaders of the workers will leave Chicago today with sealed orders calling for a strike. It already has been published, first one line and then another going out." Lee's statement is the first official confirmation of the report that Oct. 30 has been fixed as the date of the strike. "The executives, as usual, are pulling the wool over the eyes of the public. I don't see how the roads have the nerve to suggest another wage cut when they know we have voted to strike because of the last one," said Lee. "The time for talking is past." Lee added. The strike committee of the unions was already in session, mapping out plans for the walkout. R. R.

He complained that after the railroads had raised the rates on shipments they did not furnish sufficient cars for the work. The railroads state that the cars are tied up in fruit shipments elsewhere, and cannot be obtained, since there is a car shortage, anyway. $1,000,000 FIRE IN TEXAS TOWN PARIS, Tex., Oct. 15—After a night of terror, the fire which originated in the five-story building of a furniture company at 10 o'clock last night destroyed several business blocks, then swept on to the residential section of the city, was at 7 o'clock this morning apparently under control.
