to last her an unusually long time
without visits to the furrier for re

Shoe Manufacturers Propose
to Have Shoe Sizes Marked
Plainly Hereafter.

II some OF the makers have Their
way. the marks on ladies' shoes will
tell the truth hereafter, no matter how
much the fair purchasers want a No. 3
shoe to fit a No. . foot.
The National Boo, and Shoe Manu-
facturers Association, In session at the
Hotel Aston, represents Aoo,O",cNo cap
ital, and they feel they have right to
frown upon the code signs on shoes
that enable a dealer to give a woman
a shoe thai will 1T her In any number
she calls for.
"The subterfuge !ngeniousIy arranged
20 dealer can give a woman any size
10 At no matter what she may call for
is manifestly unfair" said one dealer.
The deception is obviously unneces.
sary as we.i.' added President j..
Hanan. and | have thought possibly
the manufacturers might be forced into
serious consideration OF the problem"
Every one agreed with President
Hanan. and the matter got almost as
much consideration as the tariff and a
resolution asking Congress to prohibit
the 'adulteration Of leather" The
members agreed that they want free
hides, free leather and duty on shoes
TO protect American workngmen, and
they agreed to ask the Ways and
Means Committee to hear committee
or manufacturers.
Vice President +. a. Watson was en-.
thusiastic on the subject of the tariff,
but dubious as to code signs.
Il am not bit sure that this is such
an important matter. after ALL" he
said to an Evening World reporter.
Really, It's quite immaterial what size
OF shoe woman wears 80 long as II Ats

question to interest the public"
Don't you believe that part where ha

FAMILY COMES FIRST

Germany has a law that pro-
'vides that if it can be proved
that a man is earning a sufficient
wage to support those dependent
on him, but that he is dissipating
that wage by vicious habits, he
can be declared a minor, and he
is then treated AS a child.
His employer is told that the
wage must not be paid to the
man, but to a guardian appoint
ed by the magistrate of the dis
trict in which he. lives, who uses
it for the support Of the wife
and children. =:

UNREST OF RAILROAD
WORKERS NEAR CLIMAX

There are pronounced indica-
tions of a general demand upon
the railways Of the country for
an increase Of the wages of their
employees. In some sections the
railways voluntarily are making
slight increases, either in recog-
mutton Of the changed conditions
OF the last two years or in an
tlcipation Of stronger demands to
be made by the employees, but in
the maiE the transportation COM
panies nave been slow to restore
the wage scales that were in ef-
feet before the panic of 1907,
When that panic struck the
country the demands of the rail-
way employees for larger wages
was just swelling into an i'm.
pressive chorus. Then. the de.
preston caused a letting up Of
business and railroad Jobs were
at a premium.
+. Wages, instead of being in
creased, were lowered in nanv
instances. The cost of livin,o

the demands Of the employees for
more pay was hushed, most Of
/ the men being willing and anxious
10 retain their positions at what.
ever wages obtainable. The >busi-
