 ris.-(UP)-When the doors of the Yteb salon swung open for the first showing of their winter conception of the Franco Russian wardrobe there was quick in drawn breath among the waiting audience. Would there be those high Empire waists? Would there be those leg o'mutton sleeves? Would there be bustles?
 The suspense SO full of wonder passed quickly as the first model walked gracefully through the arched door and mounted the steps of the little platform. Then fol- lowed her sisters. As one would cause tiny clutch of fear at the heart in having too high a waist line in the back, another one would appear to offer relief by showing a suave silhouette with diagonally draped skirt that gave a novel 1880 effect without its discomforts,

With the lay ing aside of the fur piece and huff, a thoroughly modern young wom- an appeared. able to live and breathe in her natural, normal manner.

It was used as luxurious evening coat with modified leg o. mutton sleeves. silhouette waistline with flowing hem and worn over an emerald green evening. gown. A huge fox collar topped 1t off el- egantly.
 Another unusual frock called "Djiky" was of black broadcloth trimmed with black caracul. A de- cided peplum on one side only and a very diagonal and irregular cut of the material gave 1t n striking silhouette.
 The entrance of street pajama at this conservative house was very novel. It was worn with a coat of tiny bands of navy. lighter blue and green. The pajamas were calf length and in box pleats all the way around from the waist.

Dog Is Easily HOuscbrOkc. But It Must Be Remembered That He Is a Dog and Cannot Be Held Up 10
 Human Standards
 HousebrcakinG a dog Is to teach him to be a gentleman.
 A cat is a gentleman from birth, but the dog must be taught this etiquette.
 Contrary to popular belief, a dog is slow to soil his bed. At all times, a dog is to be judged as a dog, and not held up to human standards. This is often overlooked and the dog punished for something he may be incapable of accomplish ing.
 Older dogs cause little trouble in this respect. They seek the out dors or wait until they can get outside the house. The puppy Is the offender.
 When you have bought your puppy, say at the age of three to five months, have Il big heart and plenty of gunnysacks. Allow three to four weeks for his course in eti- quette Bear in mind that the hu- man puppy takes many weeks longer.
 The first aid in housebreaking Is to establish regular feeding time for the puppy At this age he should be fed three or four times daily. Feed at the same hours every day.
 Each time, shortly after feeding. take him out fro walk. Take him along the same route each time. An ash pile here or some gress there will serve him as excellent reminders. Try to take him to the same spot where he performed his duty previously.
 If at all possible. take him out loose. He will go 10 blocks with out doing his duty as gentleman if he is on the lead. but running free, he was take care of the mat ter very promptly.
 We now come to another con sideration. He has done the deed and on your new carpet.

JObless Dressmakers
Discuss Need For
Unity In Ranks

Due to the large attendance at the
meeting Of unemployed dressmakers,
it was necessary to secure a larger

even during the season many of the
workers cannot secure jobs and when

called on the unemployed workers to

STRIKE AGAINST
DISCRIMINATION
Negro Worker Fired
by Dress Shop Boss

The dreSsmakers of the Gloria
Dress Co, 144 w. 9th ST., went down
on strike today in solidarity with one
of the Negro finishers whom the boss
discharged under the framed up
charge that she had stolen dress.
The workers of the shop imme-
diately made stoppage and when
this failed to bring about the rein
statement, they declared the shop on
strike, and are determined to stay
out until the workers are reinstated
and the shop unionized.
Dressmakers employed in the sec
ton are called upon to support these
workers on the picket line.
The strike conducted against the
firm of Winfine Dress Co., $50 7th
Ave, has been in progress since last
week. The demands of the strikers
are for increase in wages, shorter
hours, and union recognition. Most
of the workers are new elements, a
number of them Spanish. The
strikers are enthusiastic and are
fighting militantly not only on the
picketline in front of their own shop,
but are helping the union organize
other shops.
Active dressmakers are called upon
to support these workers on the
picket line.

Tammany Hall has just found out
that there is serious unemployment
in the country and finds it neces-
sary to do something on a broad
scale. In a statement issued by the
Communist Party, New York District,
the demagogic proposal of the leader
Dennis Mahon, Of Tammany Hall, at
the Board of Alderman, yesterday, is
fully exposed,
Mr.. Mahon, representing the lead
ership of Tammany Hall in the
Board of Aldermen of New York,
proposed and saw passed bill call
ing upon Hoover to call an extra ses-
sion Of Congress for the purpose Of
inaugurating a public works program
with a fund of $5,000,O0O,000 to re-
lieve unemployment. This is sheer
demagogy, and intended for election
purposes. Mahon is leader of Tam
many Hall in the Board of Alder
men, and should know that nearly
one-tenth of the unemployed are in
the city of New York If he and
his party in New York we're sincere
about the proposal of fund of five
billion for the relief of the unem-
ployed in the country, he should have
proposed a bill calling for $1,000 900
for the relief of the unemployed in
New York. If he and his party were
sincere about the question of unem-
ployment relief, then they should
have initiated some of their plans in
Albany, when another member Of
the Democratic Party, Governor
Roosevelt, called a special session Of
the state legislature. Nevertheless,
we did not see Roosevelt or the State
legislature proposing or passing a bill
of nearly a billion for the relief of
the unemployed of the state of New
York. On the contrary, they ap-
propriated a meaSly $20,000,000 for
nearly 100000 unemployed in the
state or about Sill for person, as
aid for the unemployed through the
winter. This shows the hypocrisy Of
the Democratic party and the Tam
many Hall machine, which is trying
to make political capital out of the
misery Of the starving unemployed,

Confer On Mass
Pioneer Movement
Sunday, October Is
Many Organizations to
Be Represented

NEW YORK.-A call to all militant
workers organizations to send dele
gates to conference which will lay
plans for the building of a mass
movement of workers children has
been issued by the Young Pioneers
of America, New York District.
The call is addressed to all revolu-
tionary unions, workers clubs, Inter
national Workers Order branches, the
International Labor Defense, Wo-
mems Council, and all language or
ganizations Two delegates are in
vited from each organization, and all
comrades who are engaged at pres
ent in any field of work among chill
dren will also attend as delegates.
The conference will be held on
Sunday, october 25, at the Workers
Center, 35 E. 18th ST., at IL am.
Among the points on the agenda will
be the coordination of all children's
work, and the election of a number
of commissions to study various
phases of the work. The conference
will also draw up plans for the fight
for free food and clothing for the
children of the unemployed, and
thousands of children will be drawn
into the struggle.
The call for the conference reads
in part:
1.-THE effect of unemployment and
wage-cuts upon the workers children
is terrific. The first sufferers from
the attempts Of the bosses to shift
the burden of the crisis to the back
of the workers are the workers chill
dren. Tens of thousands of children
in New York are undernourished and
poorly clad.
Therefore it is important that the
workers, and especially the militant
workers organizations, take the
problem of organizing the children in
earnest. The masses of children are
ready and willing to be organized.
However, before we can organize
them under working class leadership,
we should be able to give them va
ried and interesting activity. The
child's love for games and play must
be utilized by the working class
movement, by giving these things to
the children at the same time as we
educate them in the spirit of work.
