Jan. 4.-what an American union
I labor man can do when it's for his
country and not a corporation he's
, serving is demonstrated here.
Working in the big railway shops
here is a unit of the United States
army engineers, recruited principally
from one OF the best-known railroads
running into New York. The men
came from the Eastern railroad shops
where the repair work is done. Every
man was a member of the union at
home. His union prescribed how
many hours a day he should work,
his wages, and holidays.
Here In France today these expert
shopmen are repairing locomotives
from $50 a. m. until p. M, with an
hour OF for dinner.
Wine Three Iimes q Dap.
Working beside the American shop
men are French civilian shopmen.
The French shopmen work leisurely
and talk a great deal, taking in addi-
ton several breathing spells along
with eating spells. At o'clock the
French workman has breakfast. usu-
ally bread and wine. This follows
the little breakfast he ate at home
early In the morning. At noon he
takes an hour of to eat bread and
cheese with red wine. Four o'clock
brings another meal of bread and
wine. The American shopmen work
at the usual American pressure with
out rest periods. and with a single
meal at noon.
The result of American labor in the
local shops has been that broken
down locomotives are getting scarce
on this part of the French railway
system. On the other hand, railroad
officials are busy trying to keep the
shops supplied with frayed locomo-
tives needing mendlng.
Men who would vote for a strike
at the first effort OF a corporation TO
infringe the unions rules in America
are working for army pay here to-
day without a Grumble. In fact, they
are satisfied.

something new In the most graceful

world. There is no question as to
where the American shoe manufacture

TO HMM the allround excellence Of
his product. He makes shoes In great
variety to suit individual styles and
taste, with nice attention to every
detail of their making.
In the group of street shoes pictured
above, there are examples of three
styles designed to please the woman Of
elegant and quiet taste. She demands
smart but unObtrusive shoes, finished
exquisitely, and her shoes are just
as important as her millinery In COM
