500 Steel Men Vote
To Continue on Strike
Union Leaders Who Urged Re-
turn to Work Are Ousted
From Office

CLEVELAND Dec. 26.-Fifteen hun
dred steel men voted unanimously to-
night to continue on strike and to re-
main away from their former employ
ment until the strike is won or Off
cially declared off by the national Of
ficers.
The decision was reached after they
had heard the report of two of their
number who had been sent to Pitts
burgh to confer with W. z. Foster, ma
tional secretary of the steel strikers.
Mr.. Foster said it was his opinion that
the men We're making winning fight,
ana the comp amt Of shortage OF steel
was evidence of it.
Besides voting to remain on strike,
the members of the union ousted from
Office John Kwiatkowski' vice-pres resldenC
and Joseph Mroozek, corresponding sec
retary, who had recommended to the
local that it cali off the strike and re-
turn to work They also demanded that
these men return the money given to
them to make the trip TO Pittsburgh.
When the strike was called 20 600
men quit work here. Many of these

SILK LkS-Gurn,ent
Manu- f0cturers Buying Silks

Garment manufacturers, or "cutters-
up as the trade knows them, were
more prominent in the silk market
yesterday than they have been for
some weeks, and several large transac-
tons in merchandise We're recorded
In most cases jobbers were the sellers,
the large mills showing a disposition
to devote attention to filling orders on
their books rather than to take any
forward business at present. Among
the most actively sought goods were
printed foulards. which are increasing
in popularity for spring use, according
to trade leaders. Some calls were made
for charmeuse and other satin-face ID
materials. In many quarters it is felt
that satin-fa faced materials will find a
wider use this spring than is usually
the case.
Japanese competition is a growing
menace in the eyes of many Of the
prominent silk mill owners. Japanese
made goods are appearing on the mar
ket IN greater quantities. The quality
has improved greatly. and many of the
Japanese made materials have lost their
Oriental character and cannot be dis
tlnguished from those made in this
country So far, the Japanese have
worked in the lower qualities and sta
pie weaves and have not attempted
imitation Of the highly specialized and
novelty silk goods.

LEATRER-Cut Prices
Of Medium Grade Shoes

Manufacturers have lowered the
price Of medium grade calfskin shoes
from so to 75 cents per pair. Foot
wear made up of this skin which form
erly sold for from $3.50 to SS per pair
are now bringing IS to s7.25 per pair
Stocks Of these shoes on the hands of
the manufacturers are said to have be-
come SO large that reduction in price
was considered necessary to stir some
movement in retail buying.
With the Christmas holiday business
over, shoe retailers are reported to be
carrying small stocks of the styles that
are most in demand. Manufacturers
and jobbers declare that in preparing
for the Christmas trade the retailers
confined their orders too strictly to
one or two styles that were expected to
prove popular. There are various
styles of winter shoes that are held in
quantities by wholesalers, but which
did not appeal strongly to the retailers
when they were stocking up for the
holiday business. This footwear is ex-
pected to move freely now, as it is all
that is available to the retailers in
large quantities.
Continued snowy weather Is bringing
a strong call from the public for heavy
shoes. Retailers report enormous sales
Of the army type. Shoes made up with
the reinforced leather soles also are
proving popular with many people who
DO not care to wear rubbers.

Corkagc Charge
The extent OF the celebration it is
said. will be determined solely by the
number of those who have it and the
quantity remaining unconsumed The
word has been passed to such an cX-
tent, however, that hotels and res
taurants are preparing to provide an
abundance of glasses, cracked ice and
service. A corkage charge running
from so cents to 50 per flask will be
charged to cover the cost of service.
The nearest competitor to non-alco-
holic popping champagne will be q
wild assortment of soft drinks of the
cider and ginger ale genus. OF these
the "cider cup" seems to be most pop

There's One Place Dollar
Holds It's Same Old Value
Depreciation Fails to Convince
Court That Charge of Grand
Larceny Should Be Reduced

A dollar may not be worth a dollar
TO the housewife who pays the grocer's
bill or to the man who is compelled
to pay three times as much for his fun
as he did few years ago, but the law
is unreienting in the matter of dollars
and cents. Hence a decision handed
down yesterday by Judge Mcmahon in
Brooklyn in the case Of Mrs. Mary
Jansk, Of 1873 Avenue A, Manhattan,
charged with grand larceny. She was
accused of stealing merchandise valued
at $50 from a Brooklyn department
store. Had the property been less
have been petty larceny. Joseph c. II.
Flynn, her attorney. asked the court to
accept the latter charge because of
the depreciation of the purchasing
power of the dollar.
1T IS a matter of common knowl-
edge" the lawyer said, that a dollar
has dc preclated 80 per cent since this
law was enacted. Moreover in recent
case in the Supreme Court Justice
kapper refused to reduce the amount
Of the award in a damage suit. Ju-
dicial notice was taken OF the depre-
ciated value Of the dollar in its pur-
chasing limits thereby, and | believe
that justice would be done if a plea of
petty larceny were accepted hcre.'
Your argument rings true Judge
Mcmahon said but unfortunately the
Treasury Department has not taken
notice of the deprec iation, so that in
the matter Of crime | will have to look
upon the dollar as the same old dollar
