Nothing can compare to the
pride a young girl takes in her
first three-piece suit! The skirt
and blouse idea seems very So
phisticated to her, yet, you
could never find anything more
youthful than the model to the
extreme right. Brown or navy
telga cloth it's made of. And
the eyelet pique blouse is maize,
with the suit in either color,
striking the note of contrast
that's so prevalent this year in
grown-up clothes. And, under
the little belt, it buttons onto
the skirt, to keep it well in
place.
The bolero jacket is nice and
loose with plenty of room to
reach, at random. And its
three-quarter sleeves are an
other steal from older peoples
styles. So is the yoke at the
shoulders that tends to give
them a look Of added width!
1t is $10.95.

What Price Husbands?

The world seems to be full Oh
wealthy women who are willing
to exchange real money for a lit
tie imitation love and a few life
like kisses. Buying a husband,
either for spot cash or on the
installment plan, is the latest
fad of the woman with more
dollars than sense.
Fair enough! But, why is it
that these "bOught-and.paid.fOr"
husbands so seldom seem willing
to EARN the easy money they
squander, even when all that is
asked of them is a few caresses
and a pleasant smile?
Why do such men always re-

FIGHT SLAVERY
IN LAUNDRIES
Mass Meeting Thurs. ;
Strike Is Active

NEW YORK-A strike is going on
in the Active Laundry, strike head
quarters have been established by the
Laundry Workers Mon at $50 Pros
pect Ave.
The strikers are fighting the bad
conditions, but the immediate cause
of the walkout was the slugging of
the chairman of the Organization
Committee Of the union, Louis A..
Schribman, Monday, his discharge
Tuesday and the simultaneous dis
charge of his brother, julius, all for
nothing more than organizing the
workers here. The boss is the
brother-in-law OF the two discharged
workers.
The slugging Of Louis took place
while he was on the route Monday
morning, at Enwood Place and Wal
ton Ave, Bronx. A gangster dubbed
him with a lead pipe, and 20 stitches
had to be taken in his head at Nor
risania Hospital The boss came I'D
to the hospital to warn him. When
he went back to the laundry he was
fired. His brother asked why, and
he got fired. A shop meeting sent a
committee to demand the reinstate-
ment of the two workers, was refused,
and picketing started When Louis
and julius Schribman tried to speak
in front of the laundry, they were
arrested. Picketing is going on.

lid IN FIGHT ON
COURT EVICTION
Arrest Workers Re
sisting Eviction

A victory in the fight against evic-
tons was gained recently when
the New York District of the Inter
national Labor Defense forced the
notorious Magistrate Louis Brodsky
to dismiss a charge of disorderly
conduct against an unemployed
Greek worker named Bardoulas be-
cause he resisted the eviction of HIM
self and his family.
Bardoulas, his wife and three small
children were thrown out Of their
home at 1913 W. 26th St., on Sept. IT,
owing three months rent. But the
Unemployed Council was on the job
and with the help of workers in the
neighborhood, their furniture was
put back. On Tuesday the landlord
appeared with police officer and
three strong-arrn men. Though they
had no dispossess, they tried to throw
the family out forcibly onto the
street. Bardoulas and his wife re-
sisted vigorously and the entire fam
lily was arrested, Bardoulas being
charged with disorderly conduct and
his wife with felonious assault.
At the hearing of Bardoulas IN
Night Court, 314 w. 54th ST., Jacques
Buitenkant, attorney for the I. L. D.,
exposed the fake unemployment
measures of Tammany Hall and as
serted the right of all workers to re-
sist being thrown out on the streets.
He revealed that Tammany's Unem-
ployment Relief Commission had
promised to send $25 to pay the rent
of the Bardoulas family, but it had
been only another one of Tammany's
promises. The judge, fearing fur
Their exposure of Tammany Hall, dis
missed the case.
Bail for Mrs. Bardoulas was set at
ST 900 and the workers filling the
courtroom showed their solidarity by
contributing $50 to pay the premium.

ELIZABETH, N. j., Oct. 1. - John
]. BALKAN spoke today at the Singer
Sewing Machine plant to the biggest
meeting ever held here by the Com
munist Party. BALKAN, who is a
candidate for governor Of New Jer-
Sey on the Communist Party ticket,
spoke to over two hundred workers
at the meeting and many more who
listened from the windows. Despite
the fact that several foremen were
present, the workersbought literature
at the meeting and waited to the
very last minute, listening to BALKAN.
While the candidates of the capt.
talist parties speak to bosses at swell
banquets the candidates of the Com
munist Party speak to the workers at

neighborhoods.

stated that the unstable information
al conditions were too risky for fur
Their wage cuts at this time, and de-
cided that the wage cuts should be-
come effective not at present, but
four months hence. The wage cut
will be effective from January 81,
1882 to the end of November, 1882.
Despite this alteration of the time
when the wage cut goes into effect,
further wage cuts are expected in
other industries.
The underground miners and the

has not yet been extended there. The
strike began in Hindenburg.
Yesterday evening fierce collisions
occurred between the miners and the
police when the police tried to dis
jerse a procession. Unable to make
headw4y with their clubs, the police
drew their revolvers and fired into
the workers. -Four workers were
wounded and fifty were arrested.
