Say Market Does Not Warrant Cut in Wages
Employers Show Conditions

Reading, Penn, March 16.-The delegates OF tbs
Eastern district of the Amalgamated Iron. Steel
Tin Workers Association held another meeting.
here to-day and wound up their business, after
Gliding against accepting the reduction in wages OF
twelve thousand irOnwOrkers. recently announced by
the manufacturers in this district
James b. NIincher, Of this city, vice-presdent oe
the eastern division Of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton said after adjournment:
From reports of the delegates, We find that the
unorganized well the organized irOnwOrkers
are clamOring against the proposed reduction. Why.
only recently in the West an advance Of u cents
was given the puddlers and per cent to the fin
ishers. Market conditions do not warrant cut
in wages. The markets remaining the same
they have been for months past, and there is posi-
lively no reason why there should be any cut in
the price now being paid irOnworkers-"
At the office Of the Reading Iron Company it was
stated that since February 19 there has been a
drop in the price pipe in Pittsburg Of half cent
a pound or SO net ton and $11 20 gross ton
To meet this cut the reduction has been ordered In

.SUFFRAGETTE FASHIONS
Ecclesiastical Lines for Them and
M0yen 4ge for "AntiS.

Miss Elizabeth A c White appeared once more
on the platform of the Dressmakers' Association
in the Masonic Temple yesterday afternoon and
dizcoursed on the mysteries Of dress. She had
just returned from Paris and wore a very wonder
ful dress Of some blush green fabric trimmed with
wide bands Of Oriental looking embroidery She
had also brought many wonderful things with her
among them suitable styles for suhragettes ond
ants" The main ideas Of the new styles. she
explained are the ecclesiastical. the Moyen age
and the Louis XIV. The ecclesiastical introduces
aH sorts Of cassock and Gotta effects, and one OF
the models Miss White showed looked so much
like a cassock with lace Gotta worn over II. that
il might have been worn by priest.
Then there is the Moyan Age. It's distinguishing
feature is that all the fulness comes from line
away below the waist. This, too. has kind Of
ecclesiastical effect and along with II goes sug-
gestion Of the Aumoniere in which the gentefolk
the Middle Ages used 10 carry aims for the poor
Then. by way Of contrast, there is the frivolous
Louis XIV gown. with pointed bodice and full skirt
But every can't wear these styles, ex-
rlaned Miss White This little dress'-Miss White
little all her frocks are little dresses
this little dress that have doesn't belong 10
any period. ] can't wear period styles You must
give your customer the kind Of dress that suits
her Individuality
What kind of dress would you make for suf-
fragette2' asked a dressmaker who evidently had
g clientele among the yellow sisterhood-
"A surragette,' Miss White bridled instantly.
What does a woman want TO vote for? Leave that
70 the men. It would be right enough II we were
all unmarried. but II married women are going TO
vote we won't have anything but divorces l don't
think fl is at all NICE pretty. either, TO stand
on a street corner and talk TO men, But if a woman
win be sufragette let her wear the ecclesiastical
dress It is beautiful and not tco severe
And an anti Miss White?' queried another
cressmaker
An anti =" she answered-eTidently without
malicious intent. since she approves OF ants let
an anti wear the Moyen Age
The Louis XIV style Miss White does not think
the Americans viii adopt all II calls for small
waist and she thinks that American women have
TOO much mentality push in their floating ribs
til one laps over another.
When American women buy Paris gowns she
said they cut of all the foolishness"
There are 20 be buttons galore on the new
gowns one Of Miss Whites models has five hun
dred but fortunately, they don't all have 10 be
