THE nrst hats and the first suits
l. for fall have made their entry.
They almost reconcile one to the pass
ing of summer and succeed in making
fall welcome. Women are remarking
of the suits, their straight but chic
lines, their trim faSteAingS up the
front, their high necks and with all
this their lack of severity. For these
suits are embellished with embroider-
les, needework, used with much dis
eliminating retcence. Handsome
composition buttons, sparingly used
where buttons are needed, match the
cloths in color. Coats are some
what longer, skirts are sufficiently
full for comfort and remain pla'
belts are narrow and sometimes
long, but often they lap across the
front and fasten with button at
each side. Fur is much in evidence
in high collars and occasionally in
large patch pockets and in cuffs.
There is no indication anywhere that
women will favor very short skirts

Labor Organization in
America Can Be Traced
to Movement in 1903

Organizations among American la
borers began in 1903, when the ship
carpenters and calkers Of New York
and Boston organized. The tailors
of New York formed a union the same
year, and 1903 also witnessed the first
industrial strike in America, when the
New York sailors refused to work.
Before that, however, there had been
labor disturbances among the bakers
of New York and the boot and shoe
makers of Philadelphia. 1t was dur
ing the sailors strike of 1903, the
Massachusetts shipbuilders' strike Of
1917, and the Albany printers strike
of 1920, that the terms rat" and
'scab" were first used. From local
unions, the organization of labor pro-
crossed until in 1850 the first inter-
national labor union, that of the print
crs. was launched.
The first martyrs to trade union
ism" We're thrown into Jail at Toll
puddle, Dorsetshire, Eng, II years
ago They were James and George
LovelaCe, Thomas Stanfeld, James
Bryne The first three men were
Wesleyan preachers, who worked as
Iarm labOrers on week days and.
preached the gospel on Sundays.
Their Imprisonment was due to their
attempt to form a union of farm Ia
bOrers to protest against a proposed
reduction in wages-frOm seven shill-
ings to six shilings-less than $1.50
n week. The landlords were all-pow-
erful in Dorsetshre, and the ICON
spirators" were arrested stripped
shorn Of their hair and cast into Jail
and eventually sentenced to seven
years Imprisonment.
The first demand of labor unions
for an eight-hOur day was made at
a convention held in Baltimore, Au-
gust 81, 1886. This congress also
marked the first attempt to organize a
national federation of the various
trade unions, national and interna-
tionul, then existing in the United
States and Canada. One hundred del
cgates were present, representing
about GO organizations. The demand
for the eight-hour day was but an in
Cident in the sessions of the congress,
but at succeeding gatherings it as
Sumed great Importance and became
the leading plank Of organized la
bOr's platform. The second convention
was held in Chicago in 1867. The Ma
tionsl Labor union, after meetings in
Boston, Philadelphia and Columbus,
went ont of existence in 1874, but at
an International congress held at
Rochester in that year the movement
was revived under other names. Sew
eral organizations divided the allegi-
ance of organized labor, but In 1881
the Federation Of Organized Trades
and Labor Unions Of the United States
and, Canada was launched and out
OF this has grown the powerful Amer
lean Federation of Labor.

Labor's First Striving
for place in the Sun
Was Mainly Political

Early manifestations Of the labor
feeling In the United States were po-
litical. In 1929 a Workingmen's ticket
was placed In nomination In New
York. This political movement spread
into Pennsylvania and Massachusetts
and contributed I'd the formation of
the Loco Foco party which played an
important part in the politics Of that
period. Political organization fastened
organization for trade purposes and
in 1888 the General Trades union Of
the city Of New York elected its presi-
dent to congress. In 1882 the New
England Association of Farmers, Me-
chanics and Workingmen was organ
lied In Boston. The three most i'm
pOrtant labor organizations which APP
peared before the Civil war were or
ganized in 1915: The New England
WOrkingmen's association, the New
England Protective union and the In
dustrial Congress of the United
States All three organizations waned
in the early sos, and from that time
until the end of the Civil war many
trades unions of the narrower kind
were formed. During this period
many trade union leaders character
lied the trade union as exclusive and
warmly advocated the formation of
broader organizations which would
elevate the masses by other means
than the strike and the regulation of
apprenticeship. In 1865 their efforts
resulted in the formation of the Ma
tional Labor union, which attempted
to found a Labor Reform party and
died in 1870 "of the disease known as
politics"
The work laid down by the National
Labor union fell into the hands of the
knights Of Labor formed in Deem
Der, 1869, by leaders of a dissolved
local union of garment cutters in
Philadelphia. Until 1882 the name
and purpose Of the order We're kept
secret In 1886 it became involved in
the Missouri Pacific strike. It's men,
bership then numbered 100000. There
after, split by internal dissensions,
and weakened by strikes, its member
ship and influence declined. In 1914
it had less than 100000 members. The

mated in an attempt to found a gen
eral organization of American work.
ingmen distinct from the knights of
Labor on trade union basis. A pre-
llminary convention was called by the
Knights of Industry and the Amalga-
mated Labor union-the latter COM
posed largely of seceders from the
Knights of Labor-and met in Terre
Haute, Ind, August 2, 1881. The first
official convention met at Pittsburgh,
Pa, in November, 1881. The Ameri-
can Federation of Labor has prac-
tically taken the place of its former
rival, the Knights Of Labor, the organi-
cation which was all-powerful some
twenty-five years ago.

To Each Man Has Been
Allotted Certain Work
to Be Required of Him

Columbus begged his way from
door to door in a strange land, lead
ing his little son forlornly by the
hand. Thomas A. Edison was the
prey of bill collectors who logged his
footsteps like hungry wolves.
There are countless other men
known and unknown to- history who
suffered nameless prosecutions, even
suffering death itself because they
could not be dissuaded from doing the
work that they believed 1t was theirs
to do.
Work was their religion. 1t was the
ruling passion Of their lives, "And,
after ALL work is the great adventure"
as Frank Lane said not long ago in
one of his public speeches.
Work should be every mans re-
llgion. God himself has said that it
is the truest way to pray. 1t Is only
idle.
Now it is true also that it Is not
given to all men to make magic tid-
dies, to grasp beauteOus ceramics
from the oven or to discover new
worlds. But, it is also true that every
man can find work for his hands to
do. It may be very humble work, in
deed; 1t may be work that anyone can
do; but no matter what it is, we can
make it great. We can make it holy,
even. We can cOnsecrate our work
by the soul that we put into it.
1t seems to us that Gods most gra-
cious dispensatiOn to men Is that he
continuously creates a sufficient num-
Der Of them to do the common tasks.
If we were all of us bent on making
fddles or ceramics painting pictures
and weaving songs, there would be
no one left to hew the wood and
draw the water.
In other words, If we were all "art-
lists" who would cook the meals and
wash the dishes?
There is no dignity TO equal the dig
nifty of labor Remember that. And
remember, too, that there Is no labor
that lacks dignity, no matter how
simple or how common or how hum
BILE It's tasks may be.

ern the styles thus far presented. ~
is matter for rejoicing-the first
things are nearly always the best,
and these new suits have caused
great enthusiasm among we'll informed
and well dressed women.
Two of the earliest models are pic
tured here and they include one that
has a plated skirt and a jacket with
vest of brocaded ribbon. On the peck
cts at the sides there Is a pretty ar
rangement of narrow braid, and this
also finishes the long sleeves. This
model is made of serge. The most
liked cloths are those on the order of
duvetyn, that is, having velvety sur
face, of which there are several vari-
cites with names Of their own. A
suit of this kind is shown at the right
with wide collar of fur.

ribbon drawn close to the throat with
narrow ribbon tie.
Another item that we may be sure
of is the shopping bag of handsome
ribbon. There is a new line of these
ready for presentation to fall shop
pers, and some of them have hats to
match, Tops of the bags reveal new
designs and there are many handsome
tassels used for finishing them. The
soft draped crowns popular in fall
hats lend themselves to the hat-and-
bag-tO-mdtCh idea. A handsome set
appears in the illustration in which
narrow brimmed shape of plain vel
vet has a crown of brOcaded ribbon
draped so that it terminates in two
points at the side. OF course these
two points exist merely to support two
handsome tassels that dangle from
them and brush the shoulder. The
shopping bag to match is pictured
mounted on a metal ring with round
top which probably holds a mirror on
the reverse side. One may lay a
safe wager that it contains q small
ribbon covered box that carries COM
pact face powder and lip stick.
