and one style only and you met your

We thought it Wearisome then, but
now we find it had its advantages
it is so hard now to select from the
muItitudinous styles that dazzle our

You can be anything now-As-

Looking over the new models one
sees straight lines and long waists.

"That could never last" says the

One importer will insist that the
waist line has gone up, others will
place it around the hips. The answer
is: Place it where you like.
And here's an absorbing question
are the skirts to be longer? Some
say yes, others no.
Perhaps there has been a comprO-
mise by using both! Skirts are way
ward and vagrant. They go down at
the sides and up in the back, or they
skirt the pavement in the back and
hike above the boot on the side.
The home dressmakers need never
worry about the hang of their home

DETAILS OF SETTLEMENT
Announced at New York BY Anthra-
cite Operators and Miners.

New Gork.-Details of the settlement
of the anthracite coal controversy, as a
result of the negotiations which have
been going on for weeks between opera
tors and the miners, were made public
here today by the operators. The agree
ment, involving increased wages, shorter
hours and virtual recognition of the
union, is as yet unsigned. but since it has
met with the approval of the subcom-
mittees which have been in session here,
it is not anticipated that it will be re-
jected at the miners convention at Potts
vile, Penn, May 2.
The agreement will be retroactive to
April 1 and will avert threatened
strike which would throw some 10000
employees into idleness.
The agreement contains no mention
of the closed shop or of the check-off
system, which have been points of dis
pute during the negotiations. Regard
ing the former. however, it was pointed
out by the operators. the agreement
will. when approved by the convention,
be signed by John p White. President
of the United Mine Workers of Ameri-
ca. and by others officials of the union,
and that this is in effect recognition OF
lllC ulllpll, giving lllS lHS lSlll
to organize in order to better their
conditions As for the check-off sys-
TEN, the operators have contended all
along that it would be un-American and
detrimental to their interests to con-
stitute themselves as collecting agents
for the union, and this point the miners
waived.
The agreement contains a provision
that neither side shall initiate or en-
courage legislation which would in any
way effect the obligations of the new
contract or impair any of its provi-
sions. which are to be continued until
May 20, 1920.
Contract rates for each coliery are
increased 7 per cent over and above
those effected in April, 1912, and the
working day established by the An
thracite Coal Strike Commission is re-
duccd from Q to s hours, Employees
who are paid by the day or hour shall,
except in certain circumstances, be paid
for an eight-hour day at the rate es-
tablished for nine hours under the eN-
piring agreement, this payment being sub
ject to an increase of 3 per cent.

Willis Is the Enemy of
Workmen's Compensation
Commissioner Thomas Duffy Tells the International
Association of Accident Boards Last Week
at Columbus.

Columbus, Ohio-IIow the Ohio In
dustrial Commission has been fighting
political influence in the administration
OF the Workmens compensation system
was told by commissioner Thomas !.
Duffy III speaking at the closing session
ot the International Association of Ac-
cdent Boards and Commissions. His
theme was the experience of the Buckeye
State with the State insurance plan. and
his conclusion was that from every
standpoint the plan is the best and that
the private insurance interest must be
eliminated from the compensation field.
Asserting that it had been found diff
Ilcult to administer the system without
constant subjection ito political influ-
ences as would destroy efficiency and
jeopardize the sovency of the fund"
Mr.. Duffy said 1--WE had succeeded very
well in convincing employers that politi-
cal influences did not interfere with our
work until the Governor, for political
reasons requested the members of the
industrial Commission to resign. and
later in the year, removed. for political
reasons many of the employees of the In
dustrial Commission. This greatly shook
the confidence of the employers, and,
while it made Our task more difficult. vet
we were able to avoid any serious injury
to the State insurance fund
Conceding the difficulty that is ever
present to keep the department out of
politics, Mr. Duffy said, "Tf the employ
ers of labor will exert their influences
at the proper time and in the proper
place, | submit that they will find that
it is much easier to eliminate political
influences from the administration of a
State insurance fund than it is to get
insurance companies to do business with
out taking 40 or 80 per cent of the prem
ums to pay agents commissions, off
GERS salaries, dividends. etc
CriticiZes Governor Willis.
Duffy, in his address on "Ohio's En-
perience with Workmens .Compensa-

ton, criticized Governor Willis. who he
charged, has demanded the designations
OF State Industrial Commissioners an
pointed by former Governor Cox, and
had later removed many of the COM
MISSIONS best employees for political
reasons
he great humanitarian work of adj
nllnlstratlng workmens compensation
should be kept out of politics. Duffy as
serted.
The compensation system, administer
ed by the State, he said has for its
principal objective the elimination of
waste, a term, which in Mr.. Duffys
judgment includes attorneys fees and
all other needless charges in industrial
accidents. Under the State insurance
plan, he argued, there is no reason WHY
man who has lost one eye can not Sc
cure employment. whereas if the employ
er carries his own risk or insures with
an insurance company. there will be an
incentive for denying him work.
Nearly 100000 workers in Ohio arc
protected under terms of Ohio's COM
pulsory workmen's compensation act, in
effect since January 1, 1914.
Employers Take to Plan.
On April |, 1916, nearly 10000 Ohio
employers were subscribers to the State
workmens compensation fund as COM
pared with 3,03s employers who were il,
the State fund when the compulsory law
became effective.
The actual cash balance in the State
fund for payment to injured workmen
and dependents of killed employees was
$3,62s,04 on April /.
Premium rates charged Ohio employ
ers in the fund are 81 compared with
500 charged by competing liability in
surance companies in Ohio
Mr.. Duffy said that the fight of the
insurance companies had been of real
benefit, for it had disclosed the weak
nesses of the State plan and had enabled
the board to find remedies

CARS AGAIN ARE RUNNING
In PfttSburSh-Men Ratify Agree
ment Made ut Midnight COnfab.

Pittsburgh, Pa, May 2.-Thirty-two
hundred motormen and conductors of
the Pittsburgh Railways Company this
afternoon ratified wage agreement
recommended by their leaders after con-
ferences last night with officers of the
company and business men.
Half an hour afterward the first car
had left the barn nearest the Labor Tenn
pie. where the ratification meeting was
held, and tonight the service suspended
last Sunday at midnight had become nor

they passed through the downtown
streets.
The new wage agreement which is to
run for two years, provided payment for
motormen and conductors as follows {:
First six months, % cents an hour; sec
ond six months, 20 cents; second year,
81 cents; third year. 81 cents; fourth
year, 34 cents. and after the fourth year,
81 cents. The rate for the Beaver Val

WAGE DEMANDS EXORBTTANT
Say Employers, Who Shut Up Shop
Rather Than Grant Them.

Alliance, Ohio.-Because the company
thought wage demands were exorbitant
and the men insisted upon increases, the
metal stamping department of the Tran
sueWilliams Company's plant was clos
ed down here May and 80 machinists
were made idle. The men asked for an
increase of 20 per cent. They have been
working eight hours and received an in
crease of 20 per cent last fall
The heaters made a demand for an
increase and the matter was to be taken
up at a conference May ,. The other
departments of the big plant, which en-
ploys almost 400 men, are running. The
Buckeye twist drill machinists also made
a wage demand, asking for a 80 per cent
increase which the company refused.
The plant was closed down Tuesday
afternoon.
Demanding $3.50 day for eight hours,
instead of $325 for nine hours as they
are now getting, IS packers in four pot
teres at Sebring struck May .. The en-
ployers declare the men are duly bound
by contract to work for 1925 and that
the contract runs until October.

SILVER WORKERS STAND FIRM

Meridcn, Conn.-Employes OF the In
ternational Silver company are entering
on the eighth month of their strike to
enforce shorter hours and higher wages,
Heretofore every attempt to organize
the silver trusts factories has been
fought with the blacklist but on Octo-
ber last nearly 5000 men and women
employed in the company's plants in this
city and vicinity suspended work. They
are demanding shorter workday, ade-
quate wages and redress of grievances.
With the opening of spring the strikers
are more determined than ever, and 1t
is limited that some members OF the COM
pany's board of directors are beginning
to believe the strikers mean what they
Say-that betterments must be guaran-
teed before they return to work The
strikers are calling attention to advertise
mentS in eastern newspapers in which
the trust offers for sale second or mis-
stamped work; spoons. forks, knives,
ladies and all kinds of flat ware. This
indicates that there are many incom-
petents among the trusts fee and in
dependents.'
