DECLINE IN STOCK
MARKET RESUMES
Rail Wage Controversy Con-

BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 23.-Stocks
continued their decline in today's open
ing session of the week on the Ex-
change, but with very limited volume OF
trading.
The chief market influence at the
opening was, of course, the refusal OF
the railway unions to accept a wage
cut. 1t brought selling into the railway
group directly at the start, with new
low prices for practically all OF the
leading shares.
Extent of Decline.
Union Pacific under 80 was at the
lowest in % years, New York Central
under 81 at the lowest in the history OF
the company. Southern Pacific under 80
at the lowest since 1903. and there were
new lows for the bear market in Louis
VILE g. Nashville. Pennsylvania, New
Haven and Illinois Central. Atchison
broke through par.
United states Steel was again the Sc
1ected target for selling in the indus
trials, and 1t also made another new
bear-market low, breaking through 60
for the first time There was no I'M
weakness in the old-time leader. In
fact. the summary by the trade maya

a further rise in weekly commodity av-

What's in Fashion?
Springs Coat FdUOites
Directed by AMOS PARRISH

NEW YORK, April g. Hun
dreds of thousands of fashion
able women voted yesterday for
their favorite spring coat. They
voted for it by wearing it in
the thousands of Easter parades
all over the country.
Among the many coats shown
and worn this spring we've
chosen several of those favored
by fashionable women as ex-
amples of some of the most
useful coats you can have.
Women choose these coats
because they're good looking,
easy to wear, individual And
because they make smart en-
sembles with dresses. Here they
are:
Scarf Coats
/. The coat with the scarf
neckline is a leading favorite.
Not any one particular scarf.
But fabric scarfs and fur
scarfs, long scarfs and short
scarfs. Scarfs that drape or
button or tie. They're easy to
wear because YOU can adjust
them in so many different
ways.
We've had one sketched (at
the bottom of the illustration)
with the practical fur scarf
that's so popular This scarf
can be tied, draped or left 70
hang loose.
Shawl Collar Coats
2. The coat with the shawl
collar isn't new. but it's one Of
the most important spring
fashions. Because it's becoming
to almost anybody. And because
so many women like the flat
terry of the soft-haired furs
these collars are made Of.
Some of them are long shawl
collars. extending almost to the
waistline. More of them are
shorter. Some are one-sid' |
Shawls, with a wide. almost
cape-like collar on one side and
narrower on the other. These
can be draped up around the
throat or left hanging.
The. center figure shows
smart shawl collar coat with
the fur set back a little from
the edge.
Narrow Roll Collars
3. A new kind of coat this
spring has quickly become
leading faShion-the coat with
the narrow roll collar.
It can be worn with a epa-
rate fur scarf or with silk
scarf or with no scarf at all
and be equally smart
The sketch at the top illus
trates one of these coats and
shows the wider sleeve that's so
often found with this narrow
collar.

by John K. Read, O prominent Virgin

was made by J. w. Jett, 1s1 Eleventh

Most interesting among the items Of

place George Washington in the office

washington declined the honor because
he had never been grand master of
his local lodge, and therefore did not
regard himself as eligible.
An excerpt from the book reads:
"At a convention Of five lodges, as
sembled at the lodge room in Williams
burg on the 23d June, 1777," it was
decided that Virginia, which was then
without q grand lodge organization or
the government of a grand master,
should forthwith declare an election
of grand officers, thereby establishing
itself as an independent entity.

But should the lodges prefer any

mended that the respective lodges do

the same to the Williamsburg lodge.
But on october ID, 1778, when con-
ference was called to select the grand
master, it is recorded that Warner
Lewis, past master of the Botetcourt
lodge, was nominated, but refused the
office and then John Blair, past mas
