Coolidge is wearing this season?
Here are few items:
At one of Mrs. Lawrence Town
sends morning musicales at the
Mayhower Hotel-very smart af-
fairs, these she wore an ensemble
of taupe velvet, very plainly tailored
and simple of line. The gown had
not bit of trimming, but the coat
was trimmed with taupe colored fox
fur. The hat was also of taupe vel
vet, fitting, no brinn, and with
a stiff little feather ornament at
one side.
At the opera this week, Mrs. Coo
lidge wore a silver beaded dress.
Her wrap was of black velvet,
trimmed in brown fur
After she was in her box, she re-
moved the wrap. and placed over
her shoulders a brilliantly colered
orange Spanish shawl.
At the diplomatic reception she
appeared in a powder blue trans
parent velvet gown, again cut in
straight lines, with very little full
ness. The V-cut decolletage was
edged with a narrow band Of cut
steel and silver. 1t had train lined
with silver tissue.

WILL TRANSPORT 1000 SHEEP ID ALEUT|ANs
 OVER ALASKA LINE

The Ketchikan offices of the Alas ka Oriental Export Go. received their first definite request for space in a letter from Joseph Nolte, owner of a large sheep ranch in the Aleutian Islands, who asks to have 1000 head of sheep transported from Prince Rupert to Unalaska in the early spring. The order was received last week according to the Ketchikan Chronicle.
 Nolte states that there is good dockage at Akutan and Unalaska
 "This would be coastwise busi- ness," declared James Langley of the office, "but we may take care of the shipper since the Aleutian port is directly in our path to the Orient. However, we will have to get over the thrill of getting our first shipping order before we figure this out. It is like the thrill that comes with the first pair of regular he-boots with coppered toes"
 Recently the company offered space to all the lumber mills from Ketchikan to Skagway and had fa- vorable response from all except one who has been fortunate enough to have sold his capacity output for the year 1927.
 A test cargo is to be sent over in the near future and is now being according to MT. Lang ley.

FLOATING FERTILIZER
 PLANT OBJECTED ID

LOS ANGELES, Jan. "A. (P)-The right of nonresident corporation to operate a floating fertilizer plant in the waters of Monterey Bay, Califor- mia, for converting fish into fertilizer and chicken feed was passed upon by a Federal judge sitting in San Fran cisco recently when a petition to en- join the State Game and Fish Com mission from enforcing the State laws against them was denied.
 It appears, that the plant was in operation more than three miles from shore, but within the bay, and the commission construed it a violation of the State constitution which de- clares all "bays, harbors, etc." to be State waters. While the injunc. tion suit and criminal charges are yet to be tried, the courts ruling is construed to settle the question.
 The California commission re- gards the matter as an extremely important one and that the operation of these floating fertilizer plants would not only threaten the conner cial fishing interests, but would actually jeopardize the supply of food fish of the California coast wa ters. This was the first plant of the kind to be operated, but several oth- CTS were contemplated.

Cold Greatest Enemy
OF Striking Miners,
Need Clothes, Food

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Dec. I'm
the mining camps near here, most of
which are only 5 to 20 miles away,
1,495 families have recently been
evicted or will be evicted within the
next few days. The evictions cover
Is camps-400 families at Vesta, No.
4, 5 and 6, los at Coverdale, 100 at
the Soudan mine, 1874 at Castle Shan
non No. and 3, and so on through
out the other towns.
Cold Increases Suffering.
The cold wave of the last few days
has brought intense suffering to the
barrack jewellers. There is no escape
from the cold. Outdoors the bitter
hill wind pierces the shin worn
clothes and many walk barefoot along
the frozen roads.
Inside the flimsy barracks it is
not much warmer than outdoors. One
inch boards with big chinks between
them for walls, boards for roofs, a
kitchen stove is in one room, but no
heat at all in the others. The snow
drifts in through the cracks in the
walls, and the wind blows through.
Bosses Refuse Conference.
The arrogant refusal of the biggest
coal companies in the district, the
Pittsburgh Coal, Pittsburgh Terminal,
and Vesta Coal Companies, to attend
circumference with the union officials
called by Secretary Davis,-is definite
proof that the grim warfare will con-
tinue all through long winter months.
In this terrible siege warfare on
men and women and children hunger
is the greatest weapon in the coal
owners hands.
Ask Money, Food, Clothing.
Don't let the coal barons defeat the
miners and break the union through
starvation asks the Miners Relief.
Give quickly and generously to the
fund for helping the miners and their
families in their struggle. Send
money, food and clothing to the

the workers by progressive groups
within the union. Indications now
point to the possibility of the stu
alton getting out of the hand of the
union officials should they continue
to oppose the rising strike sentiment.
Indignant at Mahon.
The indignation of the workers
has been further stimulated by the
reports of the last Saturday confer
ence between VIM. D. Mahon, Mavor
Thompson, officials of the traction
lines and leaders of the union locals.
Nothing was accomplished by this
conference and the announcement was
made that arbitration which had been
previously instituted and which had
been rejected by the company should
continue.
Try To Stop Action
This move, the workers interpret
as a plain attempt to forestall action
by the rank and file, pointing to a
similar move made In the New York
traction situation last July in which
the leaders of the Amalgamated to-
gether with the officials of the New
York City administration were sue
cessful in preventing a strike.

UphOlsterers in Phila.
Strike for 1000 Union,
Against New Wage Cut

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Dec. 10. =
Although wages have been slashed I'M
til they are only one half of what
they were year ago, the Becker and
Son Upholstered Furniture Co.. of
Third and Girard Ave, one of the
largest open-shops of its kind in the
East, orders that an additional wage
cut be inflicted upon the workmen of
the shop.
This new slash in salary, added to
the lntolerable working conditions,
was more than the workers would put
up with, and 100 went out on strike
Tuesday. Dec. 5, under the leadership
Of Local " of the Upholsterers' In
ternational.
Conditions Impossible.
Workers in the shop describe con-
ditions as being as bad as the worst
open-shops can boast. Numerous
petty tyranies are inflicted upon them,
such as forbidding them to speak to
one another in the shop, or to play
ball during the one-half hour lunch
period. Toilets are in such a wretched
state, that they are not fit for use.
1000 Union Shop Is Goal.
The present wage scale which the
bosses wish to lower, are $40 week
for learners, $13 % for second-class
mechanics and about $35 for mechan-
les. The bosses are attempting to mo-
billie scazs in Baltimore and Chicago
to kill the strike. The strikers are
appealing to upholsterers to stand by
them and refuse to betray their strik-
ing brothers.
The men have put up with so much
during the past years, that they are
determined to win their strike at all
costs, and establish a 100 per cent
union shop.

Legion Wet and Dry
Poll Is Called Off

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. Y. - The
proposed prohibition poll by American
Legion posts was called off here to-
day by National Commander Edward
E. Spafford who suggested it in a
recent New York address.
"After careful consideration it
seems that the matter is so contro-
versial as to cause misunderstanding
among our own members and / have
decided not to bring the matter be-
fore this body nor shall bring it be-
fore the National Executive Commit
tee" Spafford told the National Con-
ference Of Department Adjutants and
Commanders of the American Legion
here today.
