CUIRASS STYLE is POPULAR
For Young Girls It Is Acknowledged
One of the Most Effective
of the Season.

The cuirass style of gown has
brought about an effective combina-
ton of net covered with embroidery.
and other materials. One of the popu-
lar evening frocks for a girl who has,
a good figure is a gracefully fitted
cuirass which extends to the hips, and
anticipated long skirt. The for
mer is made of coarse net covered
with a fiat embroidery of silk SOU
tache, and the latter of messaline with
scroll of the soutache outlining the.
top of hem. This has tight elbow
sleeves fastened with frills of lace.
and is cut into Dutch neck outlined
with fiat band of valenciennes lace
or tucker of fine white net run with
a colored silk ribbon. This frock Is
fastened down the back with lace
buttons.
The original model came out in
linen with the cuirass of coarse net
covered with an Egyptian design Of
fine soutache. 1t ran straight to the
neckband and was finished with a.
Dutch collar of baby Irish lace. The
sleeves are long, almost tight-fitting,
and finished with a turnover cuff CT,
baby Irish.

PRESIDENT TO STAND PAT
Taft Informs Senator AIdrlch and
Representative Payne He Still
FaVors Corporation Tax.

Washington, d. C.-Slight but un-
mistakable evidence of friction be-
tween the president and the conferees
on the tariff bill have become ap-
parant.
At last effort by the conferees to
induce the president to consent to
striking out the corporation tax
amendment failed. The president not
only told Senator Aldrich and Chair
man Payne that he would not with
draw from his position in favor of this
tax, but that he was assured of suf-
ficient votes to keep the provision in
the bill and to insure it's adoption in
both houses.
The president reiterated this
position to several of his callers.

CLUBS, BRICKS AND STAG USED
IN LABOR FIGHT AT MIXES
ROCKS, PA.
STATE GUARDS ARE CALLED OUT
"surprIse Strike" Starts Without APP
parent Reason on Preparation on
Either Side-Strikers Not
Members Of a Union.

Pittsburg, Pa.-Six wounded two
fatally and fifteen seriously injured
by flying bricks, iron Stag and clubs
sums up the result of the first days
surprise strike" by the men en-
plOyed in the Pressed Steel Car Co.'S
plant at McKees Rock.
The strike starting shortly before
noon Tuesday came without much ap-
parent reason or preparation on either
side. The striking men composing for
the greater part the foreign element
of McKees Rocks, claim that since a
pooling system Of pay has been intro
duced they have been receiving less
pay for the same number Of hours
they worked previous to the change.
On the other hand the Pressed Steel
Car company claim they are paying
higher wages than before the pool
wage system was in effect and are
willing TO open their books for public
inspection to prove their assertions.
The men employed by the Pressed
Steel Car company are not members
of any particular union or organiza-
ton and their strike does not in any
way effect the union organizations
here.
With the arrival of two hundred
men Of the state constabulary and tho
additional force Of deputies now on
the ground, the authorities believe
they have the situation well in hand
and are able to cope with any
emergency.
The company attempted to bring 4
number of strike breakers by steamer
to the works; but the rioters lined
the banks Of the river armed with
bricks, Stag and revolvers.
Their fusillade was returned by
sheriffs on the beat. but the landing
of the men was prevented by the riot
ers. Several guards attempted TO leave
the plant for a near by restaurant
but were set upon by strikers and
compelled to beat a hasty retreat.
Shots are heard at frequent intervals
and a number have been injured but
not seriously.
