MILtINERS IN TROUBLE
"Merry Widows" Provoke Wall From
Jobebrs-Express Rates Declared
to Be too Large.

st. Paul, Mimi, May 19.-Fifty mil
linery obibers, in session at the Ryan,
are decidedly in the dumps and see no
way out except to register a kick with
the express companies. The new
merry widow hat is at the bottom OF
the difficulty. Womens' hats are in
creasing in size and the present Chi
nese umbrella article, boxed for ex-
press shipment, means rate which a
year ago would have carried half
dozen of the powder-puff creations
then in vogue. The jobbers spent all
day yesterday worrying over the sit
uation, and today decided to make an
emphatic protest to the express com
panics, on the grounds that they can (
successfully combat womans will and
can't stay in business at a profit Il
they are compelled to express merry
widows at the present rate. Freight
rates. the iobbers say, are reasonable
but they don't see just how they can
ship hats by freight. and then there 5
the danger that the railways will en-
force the Grating rule. and a merry
widow in crate, with three to the
car, is about as convenient to handle
as French porcelain.
