STARVING TOILER
EXPOSES AGENCY

NEW YORK.-When the Needle
Trades Industrial Union was hold
ing a street meeting for white
goods workers on the corner of 18th
st. and Madison Ave. yesterday, at
$3.50, many workers coming from
the shops gathered around.
The speaker, Caroline Drew,
having finished, woman about 40,
in black dress and with starvation
written on her face, started sobbing
and clutching at the speaker, said:
"Girlie, what you say is right.
work, my boss pays me only 25
cents a dress, am supporting five
children and we are actually starv-
ing!"
This precipitated a scene, because
other workers, overcome by the
words Of this poor woman toiler,
also burst into tears and ignoring
the two cops who were showing and
muttering "Move ont" verified that
their condition was also that of
starvation.

ARMED CLASH
is IMPENDING
IN ARGENTINA
Crisis Grows Worse;
5000 On Strike

That an armed clash is impend-
ing in Buenos Aires, capitol of Ar
gentina, is contained in an asso-
ciated press dispatch from that city.
The report states that the palace of
President Irigoyen, friend of Bri-
fish Imperialism, bristles with ma
chine guns, and that "the provincial
railway management has received
orders to hold train ready to con-
vey troops to Buenos Aires at
moments notice."
The chief of the provincial police
has held conferences with Irigoyen,
the minister of war, and many other
government officials. The entire
neighborhood surrounding Irigoyen's
house is surrounded by troops.
While the capitalist press does
not give any information about the
factors behind this preparation for
an armed clash, there is little doubt
that the growing economic crisis,
which has impoverished the great
mass of people, as well as the de-
mand of the big bourgeoisie in Ar
gentina, which is aligned with Bri-
fish Imperialism, is behind this re-
cent maneuver. The hand of Amer
lean Imperialism, which has been
sharply battling the British for the
control of the Argentine markets
and oil resources can be seen in the
recent developing military attack
on the Irigoyen, pro-British gov
eminent.
A strike of 5000 workers has been
announced in the American owned
Union Telefonica, a subsidiary of
the Morgan & Co. International
Telephone & Telegraph Co. The
telephone workers strike was called
in protest against the "company's
oppression"
The recent development in Argen-
tina follow a whole series of upris-
ings against the dictators in Bolivia,
Peru and Brazil. The main feature
behind all of these clashes is the
struggle between the two dominant
imperialist powers for control of the
government. The instructions are
aided by the mass discomfort which

Plans Against Workers

AS the fight sharpens for "unem-

increasing their wage-cutting cam
paign, showing the necessity of en-
ployed and unemployed uniting on
Sept. 1st to demand the passage of
the Unemployment Insurance Bill
and to "organize and strike against
wage-cuts."
Not only have all the workers in
the Goodyear Rubber Co. received a
10 per cent wage-cut, but President
P. w. Litchfield of that company
announced yesterday that all office
workers would have their wages
slashed 10 per cent.

slapped against 5000 textile work

PROOF THAT A

NEW YORK.-That Ex-Ambassa-
dor Gerard was quite correct in say
ing that "59 men rule America" is
proven by data furnished by the
Labor Research Bureau of the as
founding concentration of wealth in
the hands of a few.
Nearly so per cent of all anthra-
cite coal is in Pennsylvania, and is
controlled by eight companies, linked
up with the railroads, and Andy
Mellon, one of "the 59'' is the chief
despot.
Even few years ago before the
recent mergers, one-fifth of all
bituminous coal reserves was owned
by only four companies.
The U. S. Steel Corporation holds
about three-fourths of all iron de-
posits. Four companies controlled
over one-half of all copper reserves
even before recent mergers. How
the production of lead has been mar
rowing down to few is seen in the
following: In 1899 there were 80
companies; in 1919, % companies;
in 1925 only II companies.

FOR
THEpLARGER
WOMAN
Lines Must Be Straight
and Darker Colors
Are Best
By WILMA LA VILE

by WILMA LA WILLIE
THE woman who wears a
coat as large as size 80
or larger, sometimes feels
that she cannot wear the new
fashions. But we think she
can, If the coat is right, and
II she selects the lines and
details that will be becoming to
her.
After a careful study of the
coat situation, with the aid Of
some experts in Washington
stores, we believe we've found
out just what types are good
on women, and what they
should look for in a coat that
will be becoming, yet look new
and youthful.
First Of all, lines must be
straight. There may be a dis
Greet flare in the lower part of
the coat, or the back may be
slightly fitted in princess man
ner, but the seams under the
arms and the front of the coat
must be straight. There are
coats available with these
straight lines, If you look care
fully for them, and they are
fashionable this year. One
fashion authority predicted at
the beginning Of the season
that the straight-line coat would
be the most POPULAR Of all
types, in spite Of the talk Of
fitted lines.
All the new and fashionable
details may be found on these
coats, sometimes modified for
large sizes. JabotS are excel
lent, soft and flattering for the
larger woman. We found one
lovely coat of silk crepe faille
with the neckline and jabot
edged in velvet, and are sketch
ing it here. ScarfS and cravat-
like ties are also good, the scarf
breaking the line and adding
height to the figure.
Capes are good on women of
any size. If the right cape is
chosen. In large sizes, it must
be only in the back. or over
the shoulders, not in front, and
it must be longer than the
girls coat cape.
Intricate cutting and seam.
ing fit many coats so slightly
and subtly that they appear
fitted, but are really nearly
straight. Lines are often sug.
gested by scanning that mini
mize the size Of the wearer.
OF course dark colors are much
more flattering than bright
shades. Black, navy and brown
are best.
There are silk coats in the
shops now that are lined
warmly enough for immediate
wear. The smart woolenS are
covert. wool crepe and the soft
finished fabrics.
The cape coat Of brown covert
we have sketched illustrates the
cape that is becoming to even
a very large woman. The fur
less covert with beautiful seam
ing Is for a smaller woman.

more women are wearing these
tailored short jacket costumes
this year than for several years
