Writing to the Federated Press
from Palestine, Harry Jaffe says, Il
thought you might be interested in the
elections held in Tel-A-Viv, the only
town on this earth that is 100 per
cent Jewish. The result was a sweep
ing victory for the Workers Party that
received 2,727 votes, more than three
times the number of votes the CAPT
talist party or any other party re-
ceived.
There were over a dozen parties.
For every 200 votes a party receives,
one candidate on its slate is declared
elected. Men and women over 20 who
have been here months are entitled
to vote. The Jewish worker here is
class conscious. He acts, talks and
dresses like a warker."
Jaffe enclosed a leaflet giving the
election returns printed in Hebrew
characters. The 2727 votes for the
workers party were a walkaway. The
next highest party got SS2 votes. The
party Of the shopkeepers and mer.
chants drew las votes.

OHDoN-On Friday, May 18th. the
"a National Transport Workers Fe-
Iteration met IN annual conference at
London. There had been a good deal
OF speculation as to It's future. Some
hfhliated bodies could not decide as
to its justification for existing while
discussing instructions to delegates
who were to attend the conference.

back However, 1t will continue, and

airy In the place of Robert Williams.
One proposal decided upon gave
power to the executive committee to
discuss the need for a united front
with miners, engineers and railway
men. And this decision we can well
come. II the federation has any just
iication at all this is about the only
one. To bring the few isolated unions
into contact with other powerful
unions to achieve unity.
IT'S failure on that vital day in the
= history OF British trade unionism-
Black Friday-leads us to believe that
this limited resolution, sincere as the
delegates may be, can be only a gest-
ure If not an act to resuscitate the
federation.
Some of the elements are still there
that composed it In 1921 The Nation

body affiliated. The N. q. r. made up
part Of the triple alliance, Its secret

The following article in the current
issue of Trade Union Unity, by A. B.
Swales, chairman of the Trades Union
Congress shows that there are power
full influences at work In England to
defeat the unity movement Initiated
by the Russian and British trade union
movements. The most implacable foes
Of international labor unity are thu
social democrats. OF course nothing
different could be expected from the
capitalists.

Swales's article, not only because hc
occupies such a commanding position
in the British movement but also
owing to the fact that he was a

Statistics Show That
Modern Women are Larger

The problem that the woman of
larger figure now faces is not wheth-
er she may get clothes to fit her, but
whether she will be able to secure
garments that will give a slenderiz-
ing and fashionable appearance.
That she can do this will be abund-
antly demonstrated at style show
to be given at Chernowsky's on We'd
f1esday. May IS, at ESQ p. M.
A style show. devoted wholly to
the larger woman, will be held on
the second floor. In addition to the
dresses worn by the models, 200
gowns will be on sale during the
forenoon and after the show in the
afternoon.
Living models. carefully trained
stylists, will show the larger woman
how wonderfully well she can look
If she selects her clothes with dis
elimination and forethought.
This fashion demonstration has
been presented in the foremost cities
of America, and has been acclaimed
everywhere for the beauty, smart
ness, good taste and becomingness
of the creations presented. Small
wonder-for these creations, Paris
inspired. were designed especially
for the larger woman by New York's
master-designers in the art of Dress
ing the woman of full figure as she
should be dressed-proving that size
has nothing to do with smartness,
and that under skilfully slenderizing
lines, pounds can appear to disap-
pear.
That grace and dignity of figure,
smartness, and a more slender sill
houette, may be easily achieved, is
proved by this style show.
