News Review Of
Current Events
Federation OF Labor Spulns
BritOn's Plea for Union With
the Russian Workers
BY EDWARD w. PICKARD

y REAT ERITAIN is alarmed by the
" spread of communism in that
country, but Americans need not worry
about it over here, If the words of
President William Green of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor and the
cheers that greeted them in the fedora
tons annual convention are a true in
dication.
Arthur A. Purcell, member of the
British parliament, president of the In
ternational Federation of Trades
Unions and a fraternal delegate in the
meeting in Atlantic City, told the con-
ventiOn of his recent visit to Russia
and his study of Industrial conditions
there, and then advised the workers Of
America to establish the closest rela-
tions with the Russian workers.
"We must not be afraid of new
IDEAS" he said. 'It has often struck
me that, while the Americans have
been the most advanced, the most re-
ceptiVe, in ideas concerning mechanical
inventions and business organization,
they have been slow in accepting new
social and political ideas Just as
British workers have sent delegations
to Russia, so | hope and trust the
American Federation Of Labor will do
the same. Do not be afraid of being
called names Were Abraham Lincoln,
Samuel Gompers or "Gene Debs, those
e hn tsip Ia
ever afraid of being called names or
being reviled, maligned or persecuted?"
Whereupon President Green arose
with fire in his eyes and said: ave in
America know something Of the teach
ings Of communism and the control the
communist party exercises over the So
called Russian internationale. We
know that influence emanating from
Moscow IS seeking, as it has always
sought, not to cooperate with us but
to capture and control US. They call
the officers and Representatives of the
American labor movement takers
crooks, and scabs. Frankly they say
they do not believe in collective bar
gaining. They do not see in any strike
an opportunity to increase wages, to
shorten hours, to improve the condi-
ton Of the employment for workers.
but they see in every strike an oppOr-
tunity for revolution.
"The Trade Union Educational
legaue here In America, which is a
creature of the communist party, frank
ly announces that it's policy is to bore
within the labor movement, to de-
stroy it and substitute for our philOsO-
ply the philosophy of communism
We are not ready to accept that, and
we wish that our friend who has SO
kindly offered such frank suggestions
might take back to the Russian Red
internationale this message: That the
American labor movement will not
affiliate with an organization that
breaches that doctrine"
Jumping to their feet, the delegates
all shouted their approval of Green
declaration.
In the opening Of the convention
Mr. Green voiced the determination OF
organized labor to fight for passage OF
the child labor amendment to the Con
stitutlon. The executive council re-
ported an increase Of $4,000 in mem
bership over last year.

EAT LESS MEAT
Meat Consumption Falls Off as Prices
Rise During the Past Year

Washington, d. C.-The American
people now are eating less meat than
they did either in 1924 OF 1923. Their
consumption is above 1922 and prev
ious years, however. The apparent
meat consumption is estimated from
figures gathered by the Department
of Agriculture in its meat inspection
work
What the cause of the falling con
sumption may be is hard to determine
definitely. However, it has coincided
with rising prices which have taken
place within the last year and prob
ably this circumstance is one cause.
Pork is the most popular meat in
this country. Two years ago pork
prices were very low. They made
some recovery by 1924 and now stand
at about the best level since war
time. Pork consumption has shown
some falling off along with price
gains.
The gains in other meat prices have
not been so marked as in pork, but
the prices still show appreciably
above the prices Of a year ago.

The Pajama Wins
Out

IT may be that before many years
the patama will have become as
nearly universal a sleeping gar
mcnt for women as it Is for men.
and the feminine nightgown MAJ be
as much Of a back number as the
masculine nightshirt. At any rate,
an ever increasing number of wom-
ems pajamas is sold in most of the
shops and apparently the number of
ing Of pajamas is a large one. Girls
in schools and college are almost
sworn to the pajama, considering the
old-time nightgown quite Victorian.
Not only are pajamas used for
sleeping garments, but they are in
creasingly popular as negligees and
lounging garments. One Of the
leading French dressmaker who
enjoys a wide reputation for his in
teresting negligees, recently showed
almost no robes in this part Of his
collection, choosing pajamas almost
entirely. That was. OF course, with
the smart women for whom he de-
signs there was almost no demand
for any other sort of neglio-, cos
tune.
Sometimes the pajama serve both
as sleeping garment and negligee
and it is partly for this reason, they
say. that the college and school girls
prefer them to the old-time night
gown. Meantime the pajama Is be-
coming more and more important In
women's wardrobes. They arc made
Of interesting and unusual fabrics,
and show clever trimming and fin
ishing. One very interesting suit is
Of pongee with garden flowers en-
broidered on the legs Of the trousers
and on the coat portion, having the
effect of growing from the hem Of

as great social error to use

In the Corner
We Try to Furnish Them
Nowadays

~ EOPLE don't think so much
about furnishing the corners
Of their rooms now as they
once did, apparently. There used
to be coy corners. Do you re-
member them? A deeply cushion
ed seat was fitted into the corner
and then spread with a Bagdad
rug. There were cushions galore
covered with more or less Turkish
looking materials, and behind the
seat fabrics of Oriental appear
ance with Turkish scimiters and
other weapons peacefully fastened
to the wall. Long before that
there were corner what-nots, in
which our great grandames kept
such treasures as the dear depart
ed canary, all nicely stuffed and
supplied with bright glass eyes;
baby's first shoe painted with gilt
paint: q miniature statue of lib
erty, the gift of some one who
had seen the original-things like
that.
Old.time Corners
In times remoter than that even,
there were charming corner china
closets. Two. and sometimes four
corners of a dining room would
be fitted with these cabinets put
in as part Of the woodwork of the
room, and this practical and deco
rative trick has been revived by
many house-builders Of the pres
ent time.
Perhaps one reason why we so
often fail to think Of the furnish
ing of the corners of a room is
because in SO many rooms the
radiator or steam pipe. occupies
this place of honor. Moreover,
doors or windows are often set so
near the corner that it would be
out Of the question to make use
Of 1t in any other way.
But when it is possible it Is an
excellent plan to make use OF the
corners Of the room In some. way,
especially when the rooms are
small, as they are in most apart
ments and most small houses now
adays. A piece Of furniture that
occupies the corner Of room does
not seem to diminish its roominess
In any way. You will find NOV
able kitchen closets and cabinets
made for the corner, and for the
bathroom corner there are laun-
dry baskets and cabinets. There
are wall cabinets that can be
placed. in a corner over a bathtub
or cabinets that rest on the floor,
giving room for towels. supplies
and toilet articles. Because they
fit into the corner they may often
be used in a room which would
not afford space for the regula-
ton cabinet.

Book Cases

Did you ever see corner book
case? Perhaps not, and perhaps
you have wondered how to make
two book cases meet In a corner.
Now one of the manufacturers OF
sectional bookcases has brought
out a unit that fits in the corner,
making an excellent place to
store books in a small room.
For the small room there are
corner wardrobes. but II you can
not afford one of these you can
get a carpenter to fit the corner
OF your room with two shelves at
the height of the ordinary ward
robe shelf. From beneath the
lower shelf you can attach hooks
to hold clothes hangers, and you
can keep hats and boxes on the
shelves. A brass rod can be at
tached on the topmost shelf so
that a cretonne curtain can be
hung, which will hide completely
the contents of the impromptu cor
ner closet. II you have to have a
wash place in your bedroom. and
want an inexpensive stand, get a
carpenter to place a three-corner
gshelf at about the height OF the
usual stand, and have another
shelf OF the same size placed about
seven or eight feet above the floor.
Have a rod attached to the top
shelf. The curtain should be fixed
with small brass rings SO that it
will slide back and forth with no
difficulty. In this way your wash
things are quite hidden when not
In use.
For Desk
A nicely finished wooden shelf
fastened in the corner at the
height Of a writing table makes a
good substitute for a desk. II you
like you may have very much
smaller three-cornered shelf placed
about two feet above. On this
may be placed one or two neces-
sary reference books, a clock, flow
er vase or other ornament.
A three-cornered board attached
to the wall at the height OF a chair
makes a nice seat when It is COW
cred with soft cushions covered
neatly with rep. chintz or other
upholstery fabric.
