today he is easily the most popular

seems to be catering to the United

protesting vigorously each time and

An exceedingly pretty India slinen
can be made in the Directolre style,
with the high waist and rather scant
skirt. Along the top Of the hem can
be embroidered a vine Of tiny leaves
and flowers. The same design
should be carried out on the round
yoke, to which is Joined the full

The material for the sleeve might
be closely tucked and also embroid-
cred. The same general effect can
be obtained by using a band Of Irish
lace for the skirt and cutting the
yoke from all over OF the same lace.
This latter, Of course, would be less

Portland employers are employing
the old strike tactics of hiring thugs to
incite the strikers to deeds of violence.
Men who We're turned over to the police
for their loud mouthings among groups
of picketS stationed by the striking
machinistS. have confessed that they
were in the pay of employers and their
duties were to excite and egg on the
strikers into committing Isome overt
act against the property of the manu-
facturers or the persons of the strike
breakfrs The next step, of course.
would be riot calls, injunctions, and if
excuse warranted, the militia. The col
umn, of the press could be depended
upon to aid in disappearing and dis
torting the actual condition of affairs
and constant hammering at public SEN
.timent would inevitably lead to gen
eral belief that the strikers were lot
of rowdes and plug uglies who were
only in their element amid melee IF
sticks and stones and fists. 1t is a
game that is as old as it is despicable
but the employers consider it oftimes
a trump card to hide from the public the
real causes of strikes. True, strikers
get beyond control sometimes-th the PROV
ocation to take physical vengeance upon
the men who are aiding the employers
to whip them into submission is great
but in a great majority of cases We
believe if it We're possible to get to
the bottom of the riots and fights with
which organized labor is charged, the
authorities would find the trail went
straight back to the employers. Mem
bers of organized labor are as a rule
pretty we'll disciplined and know the
necessity of self restraint. But every
fist fight becomes deadly assault and
every word battle a bloody riot khen
the public hears about it. Some writer
has said that the modern captain of
industry will without a culver feed
helpless women and children into the
Jaws of industrial he'll but will sned
maudlin tears over one scab hit with a
brick
