 BUSY LABOR FIELD

Tt is but fitting that we should ex- press our deep appreciation of the re- spect and confidence manifested to- ward Us by the great rank and file of the organized labor movement of Am erica and by the liberty, humanity loy- ing people Of the continent. Never in history as now has there existed such feeling and spirit of unity. soli- darity and fraternity. It all augurs we'll not only for the we'll being of the workers of our own time. but all the people for all time"
 In discussing international labor relations, the report speaks of the eff fort to have a World Labor Congress held at the time and place of the hold ing of World Peace Congress at the end of the European war, and the re- jection of the suggestion by organized labor in Great Britain and Germany which necessarily requires that our plppo9AtltAl bt hlH at titude led to the adoption of the sug gestiOn by the council:
 Since the first proposal submitted by the A. F. of L. to the labor organi- Zations of Europe has been definitely rejected by them, We suggest that the organized labor movements of those countries that shall participate in the general peace conference to determine terms and conditions of peace at the close of the war, shall urge upon their respective governments that the wage earners shall be represented in an Of ficial commission from their respec- tive countries. The same policy ought to be pursued also by organized labor

privacy of ones own home; but the
richness of the material employed and
the general decorative scheme lift 1t
out of the boudoir classification to a
considerable extent.
In order to insure the most becoming

To make the neglige five and halt

,, use of double layers of georgette In

proved at present in the development
of both neglige garments and dainty
undergarments. Some exquisite bridal
sets are so fashioned, the trimming
consisting of ribbons and embroidery
with occasional garlands or sprays oi

That is the way it was with Danny

just got to feeling thoroughly at home
In their castle, which was a corn

and they were looking forward to the
most comfortable winter of their lives
when something happened to upset
everything. and it was all SO sudden
that they had no time to do anything.
You remember that Danny had seen
