The men and women at the head OF
the big fashion concerns in America
and the leading manufacturers as well
as some Of the women's clubs who 70:
the past two or three years have
been making a strenuous fight for
American fashions for Americans are
Roadway. While the campaign has
been quietly going on for some time
il only reached the public few
months ago and since that time the
eastern papers have been full OF the
theme. The New FORK Times was the
first paper to conduct contest for
designs for Americans by Americans
and the results have been published
recently. The designs are simple,
some OF the towns are draped but the
lines are conservative and the freak
ishness of the Paris creations has
been disregarded. An omission that
will make the new costumes all the
more desirable.
The trade journals have devoted
pages of their magazines to the
American styles. and some of the best
known modisses OF Fifth Avenue have
had such large demands made upon
them for these new models that they
have to great extent given up the
majority of their Paris models The
big manufacturing concerns and the
big firms in the east are sending forth
the cry for American fashions and
they now declare that there is to be
a new era in women's dress in
America"
Those who have not watched the
progress of this great campaign may
ask what these American fashions are
IT is SELF evident that the American
knows the need of the Americans bet
ter than the Frenchman. Stu year
after year the American women have
been contented win the gowns Gre
ated for them by the Partisan. The
new styles are to be beautiful but
they are to be conservative too, aud
woman will find that her costume
is quite out of style before she has
had any wear out of it., The styles
will be Gin" longer and will add great
ly in the economic campaign that is
being carried on all over the United
States.
No woman is happy IL she thinks
that her gowns are out of style and
as the styles have been changing 50

U. S. IMMIGRATION DEPT. MAY PROBE INTO
SHIPPING OF IMMIGRANTS TO CALUMET


The United States immigration De-
partment may be called upon to in
vestigate the manner in which strike
breakers are being shipped from Chi
cago to the Calumet, Mich, strike
bound mines.
Yesterday ninety foreigners, ap-
parently unaware of their destina-
ton or~the service they would be call
ed upon to perform, were shipped
like so many cattle aboard North
western Railroad train bound for the
strike district.
When Joseph Ule, a countryman
who understood conditions in Calu-
met, attempted to board the train
with a ticket he had purchased he
was driven away by the guards at the
gate, who feared he wished to ac-
quaint the foreigners with the true
situation. This sort of work has been
going on at the Northwestern sta
ton for several weeks.
The men SO far shipped are immi-
grants. They are told of the golden
opportunity Calumet offers. They
are not told that strike is in pro-
gress. On the contrary, M. ]. Riley
of the Western Federation of Miners
and James Quinn of the United Mine
Workers have come into possession
of cards that have been distributed
declaring the strike over
Several fresh outrages committed
by the Waddell-Mahon strikebreak-
ing gunner, under the protection of
Gen. Abbey and the Michigan state
militia, are told by ]. G: Lowney of
the executive board of the Western
Federation of Miners, who has just
returned to Chicago from the strike
district.
Wholesale arrests of miners have
been made by Gen. Abbey and Sher-
iff Cruise of Houghton county, Mich

old girl, wearing an American flag

ed Gen. Abbey and Sheriff Cruise to
arrest whom they thought were VIC
lating his Injunction" said Lowney,
"and they were allowed to use their
own discretion as to what constituted
violation.
"On the first day they were given
this power they arrested 209 strikers.
They were arrested at Mohawk and
shipped % miles in freight train to
Houghton. There Judge O'Brien re-
leased them on their own recogniz-
ance, and they were forced to get
back to Mohawk the best way they
knew how.
AFTER that O'Brien modified his
order by telling Abbey and Cruise
they were merely to take the names
of the disturbers and to order them
to appear for trial. The next day
Cruise ordered 100 to appear for trial.
Zone day last week at Red Jacket
fourteen people were arrested. One,
frail sixteen-year-old girl, was with
them wearing an American flag for
protection at her belt. The flag was
stripped from her and she was
thrown into one of their foul cells,
where she remained all night. None
of her friends were allowed to see
her. : f
"The next day a lot of friends of
the defendant went over to witness
the trial. They were beaten and club
bed by the gunner. The county at
torney and the sheriff stood by and
watched while; this was being done.
When the gunner had enough of this
pleasure they threw their victims into
Jail
Much shooting can, be heard in
the county. It is unsafe to be on the
streets. Right now the mine owners
are trying to drive the old residents
out of the district and start new
colony of strikebreakers.

negie medal. and whatever financial
reward goes with it. His heroism is
Of the simon pure brand that should
never be allowed TO go unrewarded
His name is Edward l. Boyle. and he
makes his living by singing on the
stage. The other night a fire broke
out in the theatre while he was sing
ing. The flames rapidly enShrOuded a
part Of the house. causing the 500 peo-
pie who had assembled in the theatre
10 go 70 the street as rapidly as pos
sible. Although he could smell the
smoke. hear the cracking Of the flames
and \ part Of the time feel some Of
their warmth, Boyle Coolly went on
with his song.
Many a man blessed with TWO good
eyes would have az least stopped SIM
ing and rushed for safety. but Boyle
kept the crowd from becoming alarm
ed by calmly singing as though there
was nothing the matter until the last
spectator had left the theatre in safe
". Handicapped by his blindness. he
must have felt some CONSERVATION ar
: the possibilities OF a terrible death,
but II he did, he did not betray the
fact To all outward appearance he
was calm. setting an example OF sto-
zeal heroism which did much to pre-
vent panic and probably loss of life
IL is such men as Edward I Bowie
who do things worth while. He did
not know what fate he was facing.
. but he did know that the crowd must
be kept from getting unduly excited
while II was filing out Of the theatre
He kept 1t from getting excited and
prevented a panic by setting an exam
pie of bravery which would have done
credit TO man with two good eyes
and certainly did double credit TO a
man who could not see what was 60
ing on around him He also set an
example OF unselfshness that every
body would do well TO follow in their
everyday lives.
No mede OF praise. no mede of hon
or is too great for the blind man who.
in time Of danger. forgot himself and
calmly sang to prevent a panic in a
burning theatre.
