splendidly to smart patternings and
the combining with other contrasting
tones.
Lavenders also are given some
prominence in the finer fabrics--espe-
cially those that come from foreign
looms. Blues with purplish cast are
also shown in the higher priced suit
ings.
The patterns for Spring show an
ehmphatic return to stripes. These
stripes are not the hair-line effects of
past seasons nor are the broader
ehalkline stripes but compromise
between that can only be described a.
stripes of moderate degree. These
stripes are on blue. brown or fawn
grounds with contrasting stripes of
red. purple, lavender, blue grey or
green. Few black and white stripe
combinations are shown.
Solid Tans in Twseds
The other patterns run principally
to neat mixtures and sedate over
plaids. Few Of the louder plaids and
prominent checks are shown in the
better lines. Many solid tans are
shown in light tweeds.
BY the way light tweeds are very
popular fabrics for this season. Cas-
simeres take second position and after
them the better grades of fiannels. As
the season advances toward mid-sum-
mer many gaberdines, light weight
coverts and palm beach cloths will be
shown in the two-piece suits. 1t is
during this period that the fawn trend
will assert itself and probably a
stronger revival Of sport details In
these midsummer suits.
OF course in the early Spring suits
compromise is always made to the
business suits worn by the more ma
ture men. Such men are hard to wean
away from the finer class of worsteds
and serges. There is something about
the subdued patterning and set dura-
bility of worsteds that makes the con-
sentative dresser favor them. In def
erence to this class of buyers all the
stores will show plenty of wOrsteds

vative or business models.
Golf Suits Are English, Tool
Strange to say that Golf Suits
which have long been characterized
by sport details show a very pro-
nounced absence of sport treatment in
the new Spring models. Even these
golf suits are Enthusiastically Eng
lish with their straight-front coats
STRENGTHENING trousers and absence of
belts, pleats, yokes and other ornamen-
tations.
This trend Is largely due to the fact
that SO many men are buying the four
piece suits, wearing the knickers for
golf and the long trousers for other
occasions and on these other occasions
they desire that the coat should have
the real prevailing style features.
Even in the pattern treatments the
golf suits are becoming more quiet in
tone--the more subdued patterns TAX
ing precedence over the larger plaids
and bog checks Of past seasons.

more body-conforming lines to the

TRACTION ISSUE,
VIA SPRINGFIELD,
is BEFORE LABOR
c. F. of L. Endorses
the Barr Bill

Yesterdays meeting Of the Chicago
Federation of Labor devoted few
hours to the inevitable traction issue
which seems to have more lives than
the proverbial cat.
Delegate Walt, Of the structural
iron workers, introduced resolution
that put the federation on record as
endorsing the Barr traction bill now
before the Legislature.
The motion was passed painlessly
and noiselessly and the federation's
legislative committees and officers
were instructed to meet with the sub
committee of the legislature which
holds session today in Chicago and
convey to those politicians the views
of the federation, being particularly
careful to impress on the solons the
importance of giving the dear pee
pull" the luxury Of a referendum on
the proposition.
But Delegate Wright, of the print
ers, who appears to be one of the De
yer watchdogs in the central body
smelled pole cat after the motion
was issued. 1t then began to dawn
on President Fitzpatrick that William
Hale Thompson's boys had slipped
something over. A motion to recon
slider was made and carried and Dele
gate Wright introduced another mo-
ton which made it quite clear that
the federation was not lined up with
the Thompson machine-yet.
In Unhappy Position.
President Fitzpatrick admitted that
Wright saved him from a confusing
situation. He thought the Thompson
machine was engaged in a piece of
political manipulation. Delegate Mad
son Of the painters, socialist, seemed
to support Walt, but as usual, it was
hard to know definitely where he
stood. He declared the whole bust
ness was a joke. Fitzpatrick replied
saying the joke was in the meeting.
Perhaps the joke is on the workers
of Chicago, who are represented by so
many jokers who play the game of
the capitalists instead of devoting
some attention to the needs and in
terests of the wage slaves Of this
city.
The federation seems to have very
little time nowadays for the discus
sion of wage and working conditions.
The report of the legislative commit
tee was heard and adopted without
discussion. This report indirectly
praised the Barr eassack bill, by criti-
cising the Dunlap ill and Dunlap.

Stearns talked of the foreign policy

is directed by the Wall Street bank
ers.
Riots on the Italian stock ex.
changes have again occurred, as a
protest against Mussolini's ruling that
rs per cent of the value Of all stocks
and bonds bought on margin must be
paid in cash. The rioting followed a
heavy slump in industrial bonds. The
quotation boards in Trieste were
smashed and in Florence operations
were suspended because Of riots. At
Turin and Milan the brokers engaged
in fist fights and resolutions were
passed and forwarded to Mussolini
asking that he change his ruling.
A monopoly Of radio broadcasting
has been sought by the Mussolini
government A private corporation
called Ufi has been given the conces-

casting thruout Italy. and the broad.

would be spread by means OF the
