wears, among other fur coats, a
very handsome sable one, which
reaches to the bottom of her gown
or within a few inches Of it. The
distinctive feature of this garment is
the long pointed yoke, the stripes of
the pelts lending themselves to such
ornamentation. The pelts are put in
on the bias, as it were. the darker por-
tions running together and forming V
shaped stripes, the bottom of the yoke
following the V lines of the darker
stripes. The lower part of the gar
ment is cut on full lines and attached
to the yoke along the pointed line.

Another very handsome black silk
net gown is that worn by Mrs. Byron
NJ Caples, one of the delegates to the
recent suffrage convention. who is re-

Washington.
Her gown is made over black satin,
and has the popular long tunic, the
tunic or drapery falling in very irregu-
lar lines about the bottom, being high
on one side and long on the other.
1T is wired, and the edge trimmed
with an inch-wide trimming of bril-
liant jet formed of tiny fish scales or
sequns, one over the other.
An elaborate jet trimming, also fash
ioned of tiny sequins overlapping, forms
the chief part of the bodice in front,
being partly covered on the sides by
folds of the net, draped in surplice
fashion. The sleeves are butterfly ef-
fects in tulle, caught here and there.
Suspended from between the shoul-
ders in the back are two three-inch,
double-faced bands of black satin,
which fall in straight lines down the
back, sweeping behind some way on
the floor, and thus forming a train.
They are caught together by double
rows of shirring a little below the
knees, but then fall apart, and each
band is finished with a silk tassel-

(From the Committee on Industrial
Relations

" 4Om IAO OH industrial
Relations.)
| WASHINGTON, Dec. - (Special)
Evidence is piling up that the coun-
try has been profoundly stirred by
the exposures brought about through
the hearings and reports of the Unit
ed States Commission on Industrial
| Relations.
Politicians are beginning to realize
that the public has been awakened not
only to the cruelty and injustice of
lndustrialism as at present conduct
ed, but also to the danger that threat
ems our free institutions in Industrial
communities where the workers are
! denied the right to organize.
Herbert S. Had1ey, former Cover
nor of Missouri and a commanding
figure in the Republican National Con-
vention of 1912, is the latest conspic-
/ uous example of a politician of ma
tionM prominence who has grasped
the political Importance of the issues
raised by the Confusion.
While Chairman Frank P. Walsh
and his associates on the Committee
on Industrial Relations are inclined
to view with suspicion any show of
concern in the welfare of the workers
that is not accompanied by a vigor-
GUS championing of the labor union,
they nevertheless were gratified when
Hadley in announcing his candidacy
for the United States Senate empha-
sized the industrial issue and quoted
from the Manly report Of the Commits
sion.
In letter announcing his candidacy
Hadly said:
$50 long as threefourths of the
American workmen have wage scale
of not over $3.50 a year; so long as
$4,000 are killed and 10000 suffer
injuries that incapacitate them for a
period of one month in the carrying
on of our industrial system every
year; so long as from fifteen to TWEEN
ty per cent of the children of our
large cities suffer in their physical
and mental development by reason of
the lack of proper and sufficient food,
the promotion of the well-being and
the protection of the rights of those
who labor cannot be left alone to pri-
vate initiative and concern"
Commenting on this part of Cover
nor Hadley's announcement, B. M.
Manly, who was director of the fed
eral commission, and is now director
of the Committee on Industrial Re
lations, said:
1--WE are glad to have the data pre-
scented to Congress by the Commits
sion on Industrial Relations given as
wide publicity as possible, and it is
gratifying to see that Governor Had
ley has grasped the Importance of the
issue. We do not question his sin
cerity, but at the same time we must
point out that the Commission not on
ly told what was wrong in our indus
trial system, but how to make it right.
I'VE stand on the declaration of a
prominent economist who testified be-
: fore us that any effective attack on
these evils requires first of all de-
cided revulsion of opinion in favor
of labor unionsm. And we insist that
those who wish to gain popular sup
port on this issue must go further
than to admit the evils that exist.
They must point out the remedy and
commit themselves to efforts to ap-
ply this remedy"

A SLEEPING CAR STORY
f(Ry Eugene v. Debs.)

For some six years after the Pull
man strike I did not see the inside Of
sleeping car. During that time !
travelled almost continuously, speak
ing and organizing, and getting what
rest l could at night in the day
coaches. X.
The strike was still on when left
Chicago for home one day, not hav-
ing been there for several weeks. In
cidentally l was followed by railroad
detectives day and night, and this was
kept up for two years after the strike
was over, to render futile every eff
fort to reorganize the American Rail-
way Union.
A few of the faithful VIII owere al
ways with me accompanied me to the
depot. OF course the reporters and
sleuths were also there. The next
morning I picked up home paper to
find that "Debs left Chicago on spe.
cially reserved Pullman in princely
fashion, while his jobless dupes are
tramping the ties" The lie was
spread all over the country by the As

THE PRESIDENTS MISTAKE

A tax burden Of 1927 ,000, 900 on Ia
Dor is what the revenue section of
President Wilson's message means.
He suggests retention of the burden
some sugar duty, and of the emer-
gency war taxes. In addition he COM
mends a tax of one cent a gallon on
gasoline, special taxes on automobiles,
pig iron and fabricated iron, and
stamp taxes on bank checks. He
recommends an increase of the income
tar regardless of whether it falls on
earned or unearned incomes. All this
means that the cost of big army and
navy is to be laid on that part of the
population which has least need Of
these institutions, and is least able to
bear the burden.
It is a fallacy to hold that the rich
will bear the burden of the taxes on
automobiles, gasoline and the bank
checks. It is not necessary to explain
that others than the rich make euse
of these things. Anyone who keeps
his eyes open must know that. But
even if it were true that only the rich
use automobiles, the tax upon them
must tend to restrict their manufac-
ture and lessen chances Of employ
ment in the automobile industry and
in all related industries.
The tax on iron must have a similar
injurious effect. The tax on bank
checks is a tax on a convenient med
ium of exchange, and must burden
business of all kinds.
The worts feature of the matter is
that these taxes are unnecessary. Ad-
hitting for arguments sake that the
increased expenditures are for a use
full purpose, the money could be rails
ed without putting any burden on
business or industry. The President
might have urged land value tax
apportioned among the States in pro-
portion to population. Such appor-
tionment would be to remove doubts
of constitutionality. The tax SO lev
led would not have fallen on any in
dustry, but would have forced into
use much land now being withheld
on speculation, and thus increased OPP
portunities for labor. Such recon-
incubation would have transformed an
otherwise disappointing message into
progressive pronouncement. In mis-
sing the chance to urge such meas
ure President Wilson has made the
most serious mistake Of his hitherto
splendid administration.

Angeles and was on the way there
from Sa nFrancisco. The meeting

day coach in which 1 was sitting and
announced that our car was to be
cut off at Bakersfield, the next sta
ton, and that passengers who did not
wish to lie over for the next train

man. 1t was beautifully arranged.

pals saved me the trouble. The news
boys were on the streets of Los
Angeles nearly as soon as was.
