BEFORE DYNAMITERS
Convicted Labor Men Must Serve
Sentences as Result of Supreme
Courts Action.
APRIL 6 FOR SUGAR DUTY CASE

With the mere formal announcement
that an application for a writ OF GER
tiorari had been denied. Chief Justice
White, speaking for the bench of the
Supreme Court yesterday. denied the last
available plea on behalf Of the dyna-
miters who were convicted in the Fed
eral Court of Indianapolis, Ind. last
year.
As a result of this decision. Frank NJ.

Union of Bridge Structural Workers, and
twenty-three members of that organiza-
ton who were convicted in the Federal

Texas, and other counsel representing the
State Of Louisiana, for leave to file an
application for injunction against the

from putting into effect the lower duties
on sugar fixed by the Underwood-Sim-

FASHION DEGREES THAT MILADY'S HEADGEAR
SHALL BE BRILLIANT AFFAIR THIS SPRING

They were adapted from the models of
the Louis XVI period.
Miladys headdress this year will rival
the famingo. so brilliant are the shades
used in the trimming. The predominant
ing colors, however. are cobalt bIue,
Kelly green. tete de negre, citron. and
every shade of purple. A new feature IN
trimming black hats is the use of what
is called Iuster shoe polish ribbon. and
the effect is very chic.

modishly trimmed sailor to go with her
strictly tailored suit will find a variety Of
styles Of that popular and seryiceGole
headgear at Lansburgh's.
Some of the hats show a flower lat
tice" over the crowns and brim. while
others OF lace have>a sarniture of flowers
OF all hues. The very latest wrinkle is
brass-colored straw made into chic
models.
For garden parties and the dansants
were modish gold mesh cap effects with
pointed brims and trimmed with Siny
clusters of shimmering nosegays of varie-
gated colors.
The children were not neglected, and
demure little caps and chapeaux attract
ed the interest OF the juvenile shoppers.
There Is small change between this and
last years models for children. nearly
all being variations of the ever-popuiar
mushroom shapes. in colored straws and
shapes covered with brightly hued silks.
II was interesting to hear tn. enthu-
siastic comments of the women shoppers
as they tried on the different models, and

Manufacturers Association, in his an
nual report read yesterday at the
fourth yearly meeting of that organ
ization in the Bellevue -Stratford, gave
scathing criticism of the mental
caliber of the members of tho last

many legislators were sent to Harris
burg with the avowed purpose Of
working against the manufacturers Of
this Commonwealth.
Members of the association were
urged by Mr.. Grundy to take an active
interest in the forthcoming primary
elections next May to prevent a con-
tinuance of the conditions complained
of in the State Capitol. He also called
upon them to extend the scope of the
organizations work by keeping a close
watch on bills introduced in Congress.
He proposed that the association use
every effort to oppose the passage by
Congress of the pending minimum
wage bill, on the ground it was i'm
practicable. -r
The following officers were re-
elected: Joseph r. Grundy, president;
John P. Wood, first president:
j. H. Schwacke, second vice. president:
Joseph s. Rambo, treasurer; Harry J..
