WORLD OF LABOR

Anchor Line dock workers of
Erie, Pa, have raised wages to 80
and 40 cents an hour for warehouse
and boat work, respectively.
Governor Whitman, of New
York, has vetoed the Argetsinger
bill, which was opposed by crgan-
lied labor on the ground that 1t
heightened the hours of women
employed In canneries.
As the result of strike that
lasted less than a week, the Broom
makers Union of Sioux City, Iowa
has raised wages of all members
81 so a week. The reason for this
success is 100 per cent organiza
tion.
Armature workers employed by
the Frank Ridlon Company of
Boston have won their three week S
strike. The demands for an In
crease of ten cents an hour over
the present wage of forty cents,
and an eight hour day, have been
granted.
Unorganized employees at the
Vulcan DEFINING Works, of Strea-
tor, ILL.,, struck for better condi-
tions. Later they organized and
secured the union shop, wage in
creases of 25 cents day, the check
off system, and reduced the work
day one half hour.

Labor Is preparing to submit these
proposed laws to the State legisla-
ture, which convens June 2l: To

NECKWEAR AND VElLINGs.
Fashion Cues About Two
Of The important Accessories.

Among neckwear 1t does not matter
what the design Of the collar II it has
an open front. While there are few
extreme dresses seen with high collars.
the majority are made with low. fiat
collars or those with high backs and
low fronts.
Some cape collars are made to lie
dat, while others have collars with
high standing backs attached, with the
points turning on either side forming
aV.
There are many attractive styles In
collar and cuff sets. The collars may
be either fat or with a high back and
low v front. The cuffs are medium
In depth and follow out the design Of
the collar. Some sets are simply fin
ished on the edge with hemstitchfng or
a picot edge, while others are elabo-
rately trimmed. Ruff1es of lace or net
about an inch in width are sometimes
arranged on the edge in as many as
four rows and are finished at the head
with hemstitching. The same idea is
carried out on the cuffs. Among novel
ties are leather collar and cuff sets.
They are in colors as well as white.
Guimpes and vestees are in many at
tractive styles. Net, organdie, batiste,
voile, marquisette and georgette Grape
are the materials employed in their
making, with embroidery and lace for
trimmings.
Plaitings of net, organdie and malines
are used in various ways. Plaitings on
wide bands are used to wear inside Of
high fur or coat collar. Plaitings are
also used in making collars, the plait-
ings being used on both the upper and
lower edge of the ribbon band sur
rounding the neck.
Loose flowing face wells will be much
worn this spring. Some are circular;
others are draped. The circular veil
with a round opening in the center
which fits over the crown Of the hat Is
used to quite an extent. Lacy effects
with woven scroll patterns are espe-
cially effective in wells Of this kind
Some are gathered on to an elastic
band, allowing it to be adjusted over
the crown of the hat. Some hang in
straight lines to the shoulders, while
others are finished with ruche or
band, which may be caught around the
throat. Wells usually match the color
Of the hat.

Odds and Ends Of Silk.

Look through your bag or box con-
tanning odds and ends of embroidery
silks and let them prove useful In or
namenting guest towels and other
things. It is well to have a few little
towels on hand, not only for home use.
but to be showered ON girls whose en-
gagements have been announced. The
most attractive towels can be made by
embroidering across their ends little
flowers. These can be filed in with
French knots made from the various
corded silks. The result II really very
satisfactory.

Try 1hs.. Short Cuts.

Try These Short Cuts.
There are all sorts of short cuts for
sewing on the market. The endless
task of working buttonholes may be
eliminated by using the worked but
tonholes, which may be purchased by
the yard at the low cost, of 6 cents.
suitable for the little folks underwear.
They come worked in fine lawn for
shirt waists and the little girls dresses.
The trying task Of sewing on hooks
and eyes is not now necessary, when
they can be bought by the yard ready
to be stitched into place. In making a
fitted lining it Is well to sew on these
fastenings before it is fitted in order to
secure a good fit. II the spacings be-
tween the hooks is too wide in some
places where there is strain It does
not take long to sew few on at these
points. If, however, you do sew on
hooks and eyes you will find it much
less difficult to keep the thread from
showing through on the right side If
you will slip piece Of whalebone into
the hem. If the hem is too wide for a
whalebone cut heavy piece of card
board the proper width and slip that in.
