sleeves and long gloves-but 1T Is safe
to predict that a good many women
are going to do just as they please in
the matter. Women have acquired d
good deal of independence about dress
in the last few years: and to thou
sands of women dress Is not nearly
so important a thing US it was before
the war.
Four styles in street gloves are pic
tured. The one-buttun glove of glace
kid with. its white trimming and
stitching is a very satisfactory style.
These gloves are worn with long
sieeved tailored froeks~ and with tai
lored suits that have wrist-length
sleeves. Black glace gloves with the
white stitching are favored by many
women and very often these black
and white gloves look smarter than
gloves in a tan shade. Dark gray

and these gloves are deservedly pop
ular. They have the same delightful
quality that makes the
slipon sweater such favorlte. And
the gauntlet may be pulled and hauled
on when one is in a hurry without
injury. But this type OF glove will
never have the formality and dressy
suggestion that distinguishes a but
toned glove and is really only intend
ed for informal wear. The gauntlet
is an ideal sport glove. but should moi
accompany silk frock or a dainty
tailleur.
Plenty OF mousquetaire gloves In
woven silk will be available for mid
summer wear, but silk gloves are
never quite exclusively smart with =
formal afternoon costume, and few
women would have the courage 10
wear silk gloves with short-sleeve
evening gown. For street wear ID
warm weather they are perfectly per-
missible and with tailored suits OF
linen-which will be much the vogue
this season-silk gloves will look bet

CHURCH PRoBERs sToUTLY
DEFEND STEEL STRIKERS
ANOTHER STRIKE PREDICTED
The Interchurch Movement Stated To
~ Have Been AnnihiIated BY Ma
ture OF The Report

New York-The interchurch world
movement prosecuted to a definite con
clusion a searching inquiry into the
clauses of the great steel strike Of
! 1919. It's findings resulted in the
| finish of the interchurch world move
ment as an investigating body, at least,
of industrial enterprises.
The report, which was released to
the public only after a bitter debate
within the organization which result
ed in the withdrawal of two sects-the
Baptists and the Presbyterians-se-
verely condemns the steel corporation
for what it terms "autocratic meth
DDS" and is wholly sympathetic with
the aspirations of the strikers.
AS to the defeat of the strike, the
interchurch world movement purports
to discover that the revolt was killed
by public opinion, superinduced by
publicity and propaganda leveled at
Bolshevik and radical elements with
in the strikers ranks. A contribute
ny cause, it states, was the disorgani-
cation of the workers, the refusal of
the American Federation of Labor to
stand back of the men and the pre-
vailing prejudice against foreigners.

to Indiana mines, by President E. G.
Searls Of the Illinois Mine Operators
iAssociation.
With dispatches from southern ILL

tie-up, and the operators predicting a
coal famine, the alarm caused by the
situation was amplified by the reports
