In planning gowns for a young girl
several dresses of nice materials are
usually desired. and a design for one
very simple and pleasing is shown The
double yokes are quite a Ia mode, and
should be made of different materials.
In the wash dress a Valenciennes may
form the inner yoke. while tucking and
lace or embroidery may offer a pleasing
contrast in the outer one. Fauciful little
cuffs TO be made Of the same material
as the yoke finish the sleeves at the
elbow, or, if preferred. the deep cuff may
be used to the wrist The waist and
skirt are both plated so that a graceful
fulIness is assured. and the whole may
be as elaborately or simply developed as
desired. For the medium size ~ yards

400 INVOLVED IN
RAILROAD STRIKE
Rio Grande Shop Employees
Walked Out Yes
terday.
DISAGREE OVER HOURS
SETTI EMENT OF DIFFICULTY
DISAGREE
SETTLEMENT OF DIFFICULTY
EXPECTED MONDAY.

A strike occurred at the Rio Grande
shops Saturday morning, when nearly 400
employees of the various departments laid
down their tools as a result of a move
ment on the part of the company to re
duce the number of working hours, with
a corresponding reduction in pay.
Trouble had been brewing for some
time, the men being aware of the fact
that the company had intended to reduce
+ the number of working hours and pay.
The shop is an open shop. both union and
nOn-unlOn men being employed. Satur-
day morning a notice was posted calling
for walk-out at noon. A number of
the men did not report at all, while the
rest worked through the morning, stop
ping at noon according to the instruc-
tions.
The strikers say that they have an
agreement with the company pledging
them work for at least eight hours day
six days week The new schedule. the
men say, calls for reduction to eight
hours for five days and four hours Sat
urday.
Conflicting Stories.
Conflicting stories are told about the
strike A Rio Grande official said last
night that so far as he knew there had
been but fourteen men to go out. and
that these were car repairers, working on
the rip track, He said they refused to
accept eight hours work day as against
ten hours, which was the former sched-
ule.
But this statement does not jibe with
the fact that the entire Rio Grande shOp
was practically deserted Saturday after
noon In the blacksmith department the
only visible sign of work was a half-dead
charcoal fire at which a blacksmith 8
helper was labOring. The departments af-
fected by the strike are blacksmith boil
er, tin. machine and repair shops.
At Federation hall last night the secre-
tary left instructions that should any of
the men employed at the Rio Grande
shops wish to. hold meetings they
should be given rooms for that purpose.
At IL O'Clock none of them had put in
an appearance. II is believed that a
meeting will be held today.
