MINOR LABOR NOTES

A seamen's strike, affecting the Aus
tralian coastal trade and the Common
wealth ship line, has been declared in
Brisbane, and there are indications
that 1t will spread to Sydney and Mel
bourne. The only danger from the
strike, is a possible shortage Of coal in
all centers outside of New South
Wales, thus shutting down industries.
The coal supply has been at low ebb
for some time because of the influenza
epidemic and war conditions.
A notice was posted in the half
dozen textile manufacturing plants of
jamestown, N. Y, announcing an in
crease of 10 per cent in wages and

There are 5000 textile workers in the
city who will be affected by the new
schedule Of hours and wages. The in
crease was granted without any de-
mand' by the employees.
Notices were placed in the Winooski

derstood to be the forerunner Of sim
liar action by manufacturers in other
cotton mill centers.
More than 1000 employees Of the
American Car and Foundry company,
Chicago, went on strike. They de-
manded more money, shorter hours
and recognition Of their unions, while
some of the trades went out in sym
pathy.

ers' union the Chicago Federation Of
Labor has favored the organization Of
furniture trades council which will
include over 10000 workers.
Industrial accidents in Pennsylva-
mia during February claimed fewer
victims than during any one month in
the last three years of the operation Of
the compensation act.

cured union shop agreement and a

Metal polishers throughout the Uni
ted States have gained for themselves

Promises Quoted in
Introduction to Foe
Counter Proposals

BERLIN, May 29.-The introduce
ton of the German counter proposals
quotes speeches by President Wilson
and other extensively, particularly
seeking to show that Wilson's pledges
have not been fulfilled in the treaty
which the Germans claim contains
provisions contradictory to the prin-
ciples of the League of Nations. En-
phasis is laid on Wilson's statement
that peoples should not be treated as
pawns. The claim is made that the
treaty does that in Danzig. Silesia, and
even AIsace Lorraine.
The Counter proposals claim it is
unjust to send a repatriations commits
sion into Germany without letting the
Germans know what they must pay.
Stress is laid on Wilson's book The
State" where, the proposals say, it is
pointed out that the Nietze valley, and
Posen are distinctly German whereas
the treaty makes this Polish.

Dresses designed for the younger

where-this fall are the most satisfac-
tory that have been presented for
many seasons. They reflect the at
tributes of young girlhood-or at any
rate the attributes we like to find in
young girls. These frocks are sturdy,
simple, quite plain, very neat and prac-
tice much restraint In the matter of
trimmings. They clothe the immature
figure to the best advantage and are
calculated to educate their young
wearers in the fitness of things, the
suiting of clothes to occasions and to
youth. The designers of dress for
misses and Junior misses are not al
ways conscious of their responsible
ties in this matter, but the best pri-
vate schools and academies realize
its Importance. They are careful to
prescribe what may be worn by the
girls under their charge. Girls in the
public schools have not the advantage
of this system, but the designers of
ready-made dresses for them have
made good choice easy this fall.

gaging frock for girl in her early

on at the waist line. A frill of plait-
ed silk about the round neck is in

school frocks, but we do not grow tired
of these plain dresses.
There are number of successful
models for the younger misses in
which navy blue woolen fabrics
serge, gabardine, tricotine and the like
show pipings, facings and vestees
sometimes, of dark red. This is al
ways a good color combination when
the red is used with much restraint.
Very small buttons, narrow ribbon
bows and ties and sheer collar and
cuff sets in white cotton goods figure
in the smart details of the school girls

fabrics in brown, blue and oxford and
in tasteful mixtures of color that
insure variety in the quiet company
of school dresses with which the
younger misses face their school year.
