gested and unsanitary quarters The
result is prevalence of disease, espe-
cially among the infants.
Year after year efforts have been
made to secure legislation to make
possible some beginning at removal of
the causes of poverty. and restitution.
These efforts have met with powerful
opposition, which, has succeeded so far
in preventing enactment of the legis-
lation desired. One of the remedial
measures sought for is enactment, sub
ject to referendum of New York City
voters, of a law to exempt improve
ments from taxation and increase tax
alton of land values proportionately
Such a measure would tend to discour-
age Withholding of land from use and
would encourage building. This in turn
would increase demand for labor, thus
causing increase of wages, and would
increase the supply of houses, thus
causing reduction of rents and relief
of congestion. The poor could then
afford to live in more healthful sur
roundings and infantile diseases and
mortality would be checked
To the shame of New York State be
it said, this measure-whose only de-
feet is it's moderation-has not to this
day been enacted into law The re-
sponsibiity for this must be placed
largely on some "eminently respect
able" citizens who bitterly opposed it,
on account of the damage 1t would do
to land speculation. That was not the
reason given but it was the reason,
nevertheless. Such papers as The New
York Times and New York Herald have
Wheeling majority. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1907-192?, 1916-08-03

Encouraged this opposition. Though
year after year plague Of tubercu
losis and other diseases, resulting from
bad housing, has swept through the
slum districts, this opposition has con-
tinued And now to cap the climax,
comes the plague of infantile paralysis
Unlike the other plaques it spreads to
other classes than the one among
which it is bred. 1t surely should be
warning enough to the selfish opposi-
ton to cease And even if not, it,
should be enough to urge the poor on
to more energetic demand for sweep
ing away of legalized injustice. In the
meantime every baby victim of this
disease bears testimony to the bar
barity of existing economic conditions,
and of those who uphold them.

Vice President WEIGH Here

VIM. F. Welch. of this city, second
vice president of the Amalgamated
Street and Electric Railway Employees,
is in the city for brief visit. The
"Motorman & Conductor has this to
say of his recent activities:
Vice President w. F. Welch, who at
the beginning Of June was associated
with the membership of. Div No 7O6,
Paden City, w. Va, in an effort to Sc
cure recognition, reported that the
company met the application of the
employees with lockout and work was
suspended June 2. This was a system
upon which but few men were employ
ed, and after continuing suspension of
work for some two weeks, the mem
bers generally secured employment in

S A SAMPLE of the deliberate inaccuracy wi

a SAMPLE Of the deliberate inaccuracy with
n WHICH daily newspapers treat matters affecting La
bor the strike vote returns Of the four railroad brother
hoods may be compared with the newspaper predictions
The local papers have been claiming that the men
about evenly divided the proposition with the chances
that small majority will vote against the strike" Now
the vote will be about to in favor Of strike if the
day not granted This is not only the truth
but the newspapers knew it the truth when they de-
liberatey printed the falsehood It the masters
voice hoping to intimidate.
Recently local daily carried story to the effect
that the Belmont Assembly was arranging to start
Labor paper on the Ohio side and had spent Sunday a
ternoon discussing the proposition The fact that
the Assembly had spent the time in considering ways and
means to improve the support to the Majority.
few days ago local daily gave to the public tale
of Stoge Makers about to ask the Trades Assembly to let
them withdraw from the A. of L. and give up the eight
hour day This deliberate injury to the Stogie
Makers who depend for the sale Of their union labeled
product upon the other trades unonists who believe firm
ly in the eight-hour day.
IF it is story about business or professional man,
the daily newspaper will verify before it is published
but when Labor is affected there is either deliberate at
tempt to misead, equally injurious disregard for
consequences In other words Labor is not respected
by the daily papers.

The always popular crepe de chine and crepe georgette in blouses might lose interest, if interest were not con stantly stimulated by variations in style. Both materials are presented in models made to wear with tailored suits, in less simple ones for formal afternoon suits, and in wonderful cos tune blouses that riyet the attention on themselves.
 The blouse of crepe de chine shown here belongs to the last-mentioned class. It is made with open throat and fastens at the side under the col lar. The full sleeves are gathered into narrow cuffs. Two buttons, with simu- lated buttonholes, are placed at the front, two others appear on the girdle and one on each cuff. All buttonh0les are worked with dark-colored silk.
 This clever management of the fas. tenings is in harmony with the very handsome embroidery, of our Egyptian motif, which appears at each side of the front. Fine needleworlx counts for sc much in blouses of all kinds, and it is a pretentious feature of the cos. tune blouse.
 Some new and very beautiful models are of plain and figured georgette crepe, and consist of an underblouse and slipover with short peplum. The uader5Iouse Is usually of the plain

Hayre, Dec. 9.-Belgian government through it's organized system of o5- taining information of what is taking place in Belgium has received lists of persons deported from various locali- ties

If it is desirable to provide other openings they are fastened at the shoulder and underarm with snap fasteners.
 For wear with tailored suits, besides crepe de chine and crepe georgette, the most elegant blouses are of hand kerchief linen or fine batlste. Needle work and hand embroidery continues to be the hall mark of quality on them.
