Several of the newest style points are
displayed in this street suit of light
weight CLOTH The one most noticeable is
the pleated peplum which promises to be
a new note in the seasons designs. An
other novelty In this suit is the soft revers
held beneath the bolero-shaped front Of
the coat; still another point of interest
is the sleeve with upper part cut in one
with the front and back of the coat pOr-
ton and the under part cut in one with
the side. The skirt also shows the
prophesed arrival of greater fullness,
having it's plainness relieved by two
pleats at each side and stitched fiat to
within q foot of the bottom.

Besides, Asia has need Of man.

his side. for those he had to overcome

was strongest and never took advan-
tage OF the lucky chances that were in
their favor" During the Egyptian cam
paign he was once asleep under the
wall of an ancient building when a
portion of it fell. without single stone

a stone in his hand. Examining 1t. he

New York, Jan. 30.-Compulsory ar
bitration was denounced by Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, in speech be-
fore the annual meeting of the Ma
tional Civic Federation.
Mr.. Gompers declared that the work.
ers never would submit to arbitration
such as that proposed by bills now be-
fore the New York legislature.
81 agree with you as to the desir-
ability of preventing strike" he said,
"but don't imagine you are going to
escape them by attempting to make
perfectly natural activities unlawful.
The attempt to get away from strikes
by the methods proposed Is simply the
attempt to compress steam or power
in too limited space. You may do
that for a while, but you will have an
explosion.
fuu may make the stoppage Of
work illegal. but you won't stop the
assertion of the right of workers to
