The strike of 100. 900 members OF the
International Brotherhood Of Electrical
Workers, which was ordered to take
place tomorrow, was called or last
night by ]. p. Noman, acting interna-
tional president OF che union.
After an all day conference with
Postmaster General Burleson in Wash

Burleson by the American Federation OF
Labor in convention last week, COM
bined with the demand of organized la
Dor for his removal, prompted the con-
cession made by the Postmaster Cen
eral. He has been consistent oppon-

Post Office Department and the utili-
ties that came under his control during
the war.
When told of Mr.. Burleson's order.
Percy Thomas. deputy international
president Of the Commercial Telegraph
ers Union, said:
THE concessions granted to the cleo
trical workers were a direct result of
the commercial telegraphers' strike,
which Mr.. Burleson did not wish to
see spread to the telephone lines.

TT would seem that it is but lit

window curtain, but haven't you
noticed how impossible are some
folks curtains? And the way they
are hung? The modern home has
curtains to soften the light and
shut out the intruders gaze, and
also for decorative purposes.
AS in dress, good taste in cur
tains demands that they be appro-

From a strictly sanitary stand
point curtains do not belong in the
kitchen. But kitchen curtains, il
they arc made OF simple white ma

add to the homeyness. The trouble
with the curtains in many kitchens
is the fact that they are not
changed sufficiently often.
Too many women string the
kitchen curtains on piece of cord.
which allows the curtain to sag
and appear decidedly untidy. Small
rods come in various styles for
this purpose and are inexpensive.
