Miners Want ISSUE
Of WAGES REOPENED

: Representatives Of the United Mine
Workers Of America are in Washing
ton today to appeal to Fuel Admins
traitor Garfield for q reopening Of the
coal miners wage question. The re-
newal of the wsge plea is due to the
recent announcement by Administrators
Garfield that ,he had promised the
President Of the United States that
there would not be any further re-
quests for increased wages during the
remainder Of the war. y
II cannot and will not break that
promise" DR.. Garfield said at the time.
Despite this emphatic refusal on the
part of DR.. Garfield, officers OF the
union are credited with saying that
a feeling of unrest exists among the
mine workers and that there Is urg-
ent need for a wage increase. They
also intimate that the coal supply is
in danger: because OF dissatisfaction
among the miners, and that unless the
increase Is soon Forthcoming the mine
fields will be further depleted.

not an exaggeration to say that there
are certain sets of women in this

such an extreme in this matter that

than frocks.
1t is no longer necessary to use cloth
for a suit. say the shops. Satin. pom
gee, crepe de chine and taffeta will do
as well. There are women who have
decided that these thin suits will do
better than the cloth ones, because
they will serve one In all fempera-
lures, now that capes are considered
an essential part Of the wardrobe.
As women have capes OF different
weights and warmths, they can suit
the covering to the thermometer.
The suits. which. by the way. are
exceedingly fashionable are cut on
much the same lines that we once
considered purely American. They
are really British lines. There is the
loose skeleton coat and the narrow
skirt with its seams down the sides.

in any fabric, IL such be the choice.
