LONDON. July 3.-The British

English officials who believe that
Germany will take every advantage
of the diminution of the armies Of

object to German Tariff.
Big business all over England Is
demanding revocation of the 26 per
cent tariff on German exports which
was fixed by the Supreme Council.
The public is clamoring for a dras-
tic curtailment of governmental ex-
penses. which can come only with
the settlement of indtmnity terms
and the resumption of trade.
Lloyd George is convinced that
the wirth government is entirely
capable of fulfilling the maximum
reparations demanded under the
treaty of Versailles. Should wirth
be overthrown, it is inevitable that
each succeeding cabinet would be
proportionately weaker, and the al

sation would diminish correspond

CARPENTER STRIKE
IN CHICAGO ENDS
Union Men Will Return at Old
Scale, Pending Ref

CHICAGO, July 3.-Union carpent-

Tuesday, thus ending the general
tie-up in the building industry. They
will go back at the old scale Of
s1.25 an hour, pending a referendum
vote to be taken within two weeks
to decide whether they will accept
the tentative agreement entered into
between their district council and
the associated builders. By this
agreement the carpenters are to re-

mum wage which Judge Lands
shall determine for any of the basic
trades. In addition. and of more
importance, they agree to discard a
rule which says no building ma

manufactured by non-union labor or
by labor outside the city. This was
narrowed down to that part of the
rule which forbids the carpenters
handling prison labor.
This rule opened vast possibilities
for grating labor agents. 1t
has been shown that non-union ma
terial was brought here and the
builder was then heavily fined for
having it installed or attempting to
use it. For a payment of graft,
however, the labor agent would
stamp the material with the union
label and II would then be used.
Some essential parts of structures
are not manufactured in Chicago,
and when these were brought in
from outside cities. it invariably re-
suited in a heavy fine being i'm
posed upon contractor. Abolition of
this rule will do away with much of
the graft and delay in building op-
erations..

RAIL LABOR PLANS

Work Rules.

CHICAGO, July 3.-A formal
statement setting forth railway la
bor's attitude toward the impending
abrogation of national working
agreements and the IL per cent
wage reduction, given effect. last
week, is expected tomorrow from
the 1900 union leaders who have
been in session here since Fridays
The statement, it was said to-
night, will deal chiefly with work
ing rules, which are now recognized
as the primary issue to be disposed
of. Indications are that the rail
unions are prepared to abide by the
wage reduction order with little
more than a formal protest, but
they want assurance that working
conditions will remain satisfactory.
Says Strike Unlikely.
"I don't believe there will be a
strike said an officer of one of
the big four brotherhoods tonight.

the roads meet us on working

Fabric in High Favor for Various

Material Used for Hats Arriving From

While the new styles are undeni-

fashion correspondent, the big Ques-
ton that must be satisfactorily set
tied before much buying can be safely
done, whether 1t be Of ready-made
things or of materials for custom or
home preparation, Is what will the
favorite fabric be2''
The answer seems to be-silk.
Fashion has decreed linen years,
madras years, other silk years, cotton
years and, during the war, a bingham
year. Now silk Is TO return to a place
that 1t once held, and never entirely
lost, in the hearts Of women.

more expensive lines will be plain and

fanciful designs.
The designer for one Of the famous
modistes declares that there is a
strong psychological angle to the ap-
peal Of silk to women. She has dis
covered that from children Of twelve
or fourteen up to dowagers all prefer
silk for the same reason, differently
expressed. She found it difficult to
put this universal reason into a
phrase, and it Is even more difficult
to record 1t as second hand, as it were.

THE SKIRT LENGTH QUESTION
Younger Women Prefer Shorter Gar
ment Despite What Dame FASH
lon May Have to Say.

AS to skirt length, that question Is
an individual one and always will be.
1t seems impossible to induce great
many of the younger women to wear
their skirts longer, no matter what
Dame Fashion may have to say about
the matter. And as a matter Of fact,
some matrons whose skirts should
have a more dignified length seem to
feel that a trifie below the knees is
quite as far as a skirt should go.
However, skirts for the coming sea-
son are distinctly wider than for sew
eral seasons, and a rathe, wide skirt,
especially If it has any flare at all,
looks shorter than it really is.
The circular skirt is distinctly In
the limelight just now, but it is too
early to say whether or not it will
really "take." The type of skirt is
always an experiment, and the wom-
an who is to have just one suit or
frock for spring will do well to avoid
1t. Circular skirts almost always sag;
that is, unless made of very firm nate
rial and most carefully shaped.

Town Shoe Repairer, Friend,
Philosopher and Guide" Of
Vice President.
HELPS TO SHAPE HIS CAREER
Friendship Begun In College Days
Continues Through Early strua-
giles and Subsequent Promi-
nenee In Politics.

Northampton, Mass.-James Lucey,
member Of shoes, is pegglng away in
his shop here with one eye on the
newspapers for word of how the ma
tional capital treats Calvin Coolidge,
his one-time associate In local politics,
and now vice president.
When Vice President Coolidge, just
before departing for Washington re-
Gently, grasped the cObbier's hand as
the photographers snapped their cam
eras, he gave him a distinction that
he was asked to explain. "Put Mr..
Lucey down as my guide, philosopher
and FRIEND" he said. And so the
6obbler is now nationally known.
What the vice president meant was
more or less well known to Northamp.
ton folk. The story goes back to the
days when Calvin Coolidge was a soph-
omore at Amherst college. With shoes
to be repaired he sought Lucey's shop
on Gothic street in this city, and then
remained to listen to the cobbler's
homely comments on the topics of the
day.
HeIped 20 shape Career.
The student found the shoemaker'a
philosophy so engaging that during the
remainder Of his college course he
went frequently to see him. As a
lawyer later young Coolidge opened
offices here, and while he waited for
clients, continued his acquaintance
with the cobbler. Throughout his ca
reer in the politics Of the city and
state, Mr.. Coolidge dropped In at the
shoe shop from time to time to ex.
change ideas with his friend and have
the benefit Of the latter's pointed po-
litical observations.
The youthful Coolidge took away
lessons from the cobbler counsellor
Coolidge, the candidate, received the
benefit Of his influence, which was
considerable in city politics, and when
he rose to a position of state and
NATIONAL prominence he still received
