Many women wear earrings only In
the evening-though one could mention
others well known for their good dress
ing who wear earrings in the afternoon
but appear without them in the eve
ming. But at any rate earrings are less
seen with hats in Paris at present than
has recently been the case The season
is not that there is any innate objection
TO the fashion but simply that hats are
so closely fitted and frequently come so
well down over the ears that there just
isn't room for any earrings.

cut or draped quite low over the ears.
Uneasy rests the head that wears a
skull cap. unless the hair Is still worn
short, and the fact that there Is as yet
less tendency toward long hair in Paris
than I'm this country accounts for the
fact that the French milliners are still
making their hats with very cloSe.fit-
ting crowns-crowns that really require
a close hair cut.
All is not gold that glitters. for the
French modistes are using nickel orna-

still considerable call for the fiat orna-
merlts of silver. Cut steel has also
found some exponents among the smart

Slaughter House Workers.

George Kern and Co. on 18th Avenue
and 40th street, New York City
where l am bologna maker. There
are over 1000 slaughter house work
ers in the abbatoirs of New York
City, most of them in the district
along the North River from 40 to
And Street. In Kern's, hog killers,
drivers, hog-cutters, shipping men,
cellar men, who do the picking, and
bologna makers, all make from $28
to $33 a week. The work is very
dangerous and the terrible speed up
adds to our dangers. Blood, filthy
entrails of the hogs, and the rotten
sickening smell of the place are but
part of all the foul conditions we
have to face for $2S to $33 week. In
1919 we had a general strike of
slaughter house workers in the entire
East. 10000 workers went out. We
won the shop steward system ana
won an increase to about SAL a week.
Reduce Wages.
Then in 1921 the bosses wanted to
reduce our wages. We went out on
strike, and we lost after weeks, per-
haps because we didn't have good
leaders. The bosses were ready to
give in after 2 days, but our leaders
spoiled the strike. We were reduced
to our present wages of $28 to $33 a
week, and the shop steward was
taken away from us. The Butchers
Union started to organize the Kern
workers in October, 1926. By Christ
mas 1t3 out of 40 workers joined
the union.
In December that year we went out
on strike for 70 cents an hour. The
strike lasted months. Kern got an
injunction against US to prevent the
union from attempting to organize
their workers. The strike was lost
in April 1927 Now Kern's and
Gobel's, two of the largest companies
in the city, have combined together
with the large Bronx Provision Co.,
employing about 500 workers. These
companies have combined to fight
against the workers and to be better
able to hand US a wage cut.

of Senator Cur is have started an up

Serious developments in farmer-op-

raising of the issue of his discrimin-

was food administrator during the

velopments is seen in the announce

GUST WORKERS

CHICAGO, (FP) Feb. 8. - The
Pennsylvania News, house organ of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, announces
that 300 new passenger coaches with
roller bearings will be put in service
this year. This means that further
reduction of operating and main
tenance forces on the railroad can be
expected. The roller bearings per-
nit an immense saving in locomotive
power, enabling longer and faster
trains. In practise this results in
fewer engine and train crews for the
same number Of passengers carried.
The economy in wear and tear also
results in fewer trips to the shops for
the rolling stock and less work for
the shopmen. The saving of coal
puts more miners out of work.
The non-union Pennsylvania is not
in the habit of making provision for
such workers. Instead it brags that
it made lot of money last year be-
cause it speeded up its employees.
