PRINTERS FIGHT
NEW CONTRACT
Reused Over Towards
Order Against Strike

NEW YORK. "A special meeting
OF New York printers has been called
by the officials of Local Of the In
ternationa1 Typographical Union, for
Sunday at pm. at Brooklyn Elks
Club. The officials say strike vote
may be taken
The membership is enraged over
the posting in over 300 job shops
Wednesday and Thursday of notices
from the employers that from now
on the wage scale, partial abolition
of priority, and five day week with
one more day added at the option Of
the employer. is in effect. This is
the new contract proposed by the
employers and voted down by the
union printers by about 4,400 to $500
on referendum october 10.
Union officials said that action
would be taken if an overt act was
committed. Yesterday in some shops
men were paid on the wage cut scale,
q clear cut covert act" But so far
no action has been taken.
The local officials got President
Howard Of the International on the
phone in Indianapolis after two days
phoning, and he kept them waiting
five hours more, perhaps to get in
touch with the employers here. Fin
ally he told them he would not sane
ton strike against the new con-
tract. and followed that with wire:
70 Fob fta ~

The Amalgamation Party in the
TT.U. and militant printers generally
point out that Towards action means
the introduction of "Berryism' into
the typographical workers problems.
Berry. head of the Printing Press
men habitual1y dictates policy on
strikes, and has broken strikes by
importation Of scabs.
The Amalgamation Party stands
for no wage cuts, for real five-d day
week and no six-day operation, no
loss of priority rights 1t is probable
that q motion VIII be made at Sun
days meeting for the local to de-
mand strike sanction from Howard.
All printers should vote to demand
strike sanction.
n. Y. American WaIk-out
The New York American walk out
Thursday night lasted 40 minutes,
and ended with the employer recog-
nizing the shop chairman. Refusal
to do so had precipitated the stop
page.
Such a struggle Is new and mil
liant aspect, and indicates the arous-
ed condition Of the men generally.
It was obvious that the employers
were attempting to break down the
morale of the men and so affect the
pending scale negotiations.
Dahn, the organizer was solicitious
for the Hearst organization and
urged the men to pull out" to make
up for the lost time.
The newspaper printers contract
has been sent to arbitration, against
the opposition of the Amalgamation
Party and the militant rank and file.

MEMS CLOTHING MANUFACTURER
Makes an Honest Appeal to the People

For years the Jackfin Com
pany, IS Fifth Ave, cor. 18th
st., New York, has been man
ufacturing Mems Clothes for
many of the finest retail
stores in the country.
Our uppermost endeavor
has been to create and manu-
facture
Suits, Top Coats, Oyercoats
and Tuxedos
that will stand wear and yet
be styled in the latest modes.
The depression (now ad-
mitted by all political parties)
created a chaotic condition
among our best retail store
customers. These stores, in
order to meet unfair competi-
ton and the steady downfall
of prices, were compelled to
stop buying from us and SUBJ
stitute an inferior grade of
clothing.
Rather than to lower our
standards of quality, we were
forced to make one of two
quick decisions:
(1) Discontinue our long
established business, or
(2) Open our factory doors
and deal directly with the
public.
We made /, liter deci-
sion. Since this is a buyers
market, we offer directly to
you the same quality Suits,

Famous English Hotel
One of Worlds Oldest

"Ye Olde Griffin hotel" at March,
Cambridgeshire, England, one of the
best known hotels in the eastern
counties, dating back to 1900, has
been sold. 1t was a noted house in
old coaching days, and the coaches
at times drove through the space
where the front doors are now into
the courtyard at the back. An offer
of $4,000 has been made and refused
for the remarkable paneling in the
commercial room.
The walls of the hall are of Indian
carved teak, and all the ceilings are
supported by the original massive oak
beams, while the ancient card room
is still in existence. The bath is of
real Italian marble, hewn out of the
solid stone, and was originally used
by the Italian monks, and subse-
quently brought TO England. The
hotel has been the subject of articles
by Charles Dickens, G. K. Chester
ton, Hilaire Belloc, and others, and is
visited by many distinguished people
during the season.-Detroit News.

Chinese Leaders Split
on Educational Plans

China, unlike most nations, has
nothing that can really be called a
national sport. Japan, in much the
some circumstances, adopted base
ball; but baseball in China has
never caught on to any great extent.
Mission schools and Y NJ. G. AS,
however, have done much to teach
forms of sport to elementary and
middle school students, with the re-
suit that basketball, tennis and foot
ball are beginning to prove fairly
popular, but only among an extreme
ly small percentage of the nations
many millions of youths. AS far as
the revival of folklore (Which is be-
ing considered by the social education
department of the ministry of educa-
tion) is concerned. it is expected that
the ministry will encounter difficult
ties. China is rich in folklore, but
while with one hand the government
is trying to encourage its revival,
with the other hand the government
is launching bitter campaign
against superstition. Much of China's
ancient folklore deals with super
natural beings, and with historical
and mythical characters endowed
with supernatural powers. What Is
needed, according to educational
leaders, is the development of a crit
ical faculty among students and the
populace which will enable them to
disassociate themselves entirely from
the million and one popular myths
which form the basis of their mental
texture, if not of their religious be-
liefS.

band and cuffs is also an ecru shade.
The french mesh, filet, or even the
modified irish crochet stitch may be
employed with equal effect. Use 30
to 30 merceriZed crochet thread and
a No. 10 or 8 steel crochet hook.
The neckband and cuffs are ap-
piled with a trim stitch thread In
one of the colors of the design in
the fabric. The trim stitch is done
on the machine. Use the coarsest
of machine needles. and set the
gauge for nine or ten stitches to the
inch. Bias trim in orange shade
outlines the clever yoke effect at the
waistline.
Speaking of bias trim, any young
girl will be most delighted with
plaid gypsy girdle with head band
to match, such as is worn by the
seated figure sketched above to the
left. The idea is to stitch bias
trim In various colors outlining
plaided design as Is shown. This Is
really unique idea and one which
can be worked very effectively in a
trimming way. Jade, scarlet, pilot
blue. orange and black bias trim
make a striking combination when
plaided as suggested.
Just as novel and interesting is
the braided hatband and girdle
which the other young miss Is wear
ing. This set is also made of bias
trim, such as can be bought by the
bolt at any notion counter. Fold
the bias trim in half, and fasten the
ends with thumb tacks to a desk
blotter or pad. Then interlace the
strips firmly, continuing with pins
to hold in position as you proceed
from one side to the other. The
hatband may be made a little mar
rover than the belt. using five in
stead of seven strips.
The little girl who is going step

JOHNNY APPLESEED
Y Y Y

a BELOVED legend Of our days
of westward expansion Is the
story Of Jonathan Chapman, known
to every settler along the Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio frontier, and in
much literature since, as Johnny Ap-
pleseed. 1t was his life mission to
plant along the paths newly hewn
into the wilderness apple trees TO
give welcome shade and refreshing
fruit to the hordes to come. He
was an eccentric figure, surely, with
sacks of apple. seeds salvaged each
autumn from the cider mills, but
the small boys of the frontier re-
garded him too highly to mock at
him and even the Indians esteemed
him, allowed him to wander at will
unmolested and made 1t possible for
him more than once to give the
alarm for an impending attack.
Johnny Appleseed was born in
Springfield. Mass, in 176S, son of
a Revolutionary veteran and a
graduate of Harvard. He Travelled
for time in Virginia as a Sweden
borgian missionary, and later with
his brother joined the tide of migra-
tion west of the Alleghanies. One
version of the legend has 1t that he
combined in his wanderings his
philanthropic purpose with a vain
search for a lost sweetheart from
whom he had been separated when
she and her family joined one of the
first expeditions to the west.
However that may be, 1t was at
Pittsburgh, then a mere cluster of
log cabins, that Johnny Appleseed
was struck by the absence of fruit
trees and commenced the life work
which gave him his name. He died
near Fort Wayne, Ind, in 1847.

WIFE'S RIGHT TO
SHARE IN INCOME
Should Mates Be Real Fifty
Fifty Partners?

Women's rights, it seems, was not
settled when political equal suffrage
was adopted. Equal rights for wom-
en- is still the most important ques-
tion in American home life today, ac-
cOrding to a QUESTIONABLE conduct
ed among 6,000 women by the edi-
torial staff of the County Home.
Fifty-one per cent of all the wom-
en- who answered the QUESTIONABLE Sc
lected this as the ''gravest and most
important question" of a long series
submitted for their selection. Most of
them narrowed their interest down
to money matters-the right of a
wife as a partner to share fifty-fifty
in the family income.
The arguments brought to bear on
the subject were many and varied.
A Kansas answer carried the fol-
lowing Endorsement: when / was
thirty l would have stuck up for
the old idea that a man is the nat
ural head of the family. But now,
at siXty-twO, l am convinced that an
actual partnership with the wife
would be the salvation of many
homes that otherwise will be wretch
ed or wrecked. Experience has DEM
onstrated that, under our present
system of equality in education and
opportunity, woman is not only
mans equal mentality but often his
superior in business acumen: and she
is entitled to full participation in ev-
erything pertaining to the welfare of
the home"

THE BUFFALO NICKEL INDIAN

Out in Glacier National park
~ lives a Blackfoot Indian chief
named Two Guns White Calf. For
many years innumerable pictures of
him have appeared in newspapers
all over the country with some such
caption as you've His Portrait in
Your Pocket-Perhaps." For pop
ular legend has it that he is the
original of the Indian on the buffalo
nickel.
But the man who knows, If anyone
does, who was the original of that
famous likeness says that it isn't
Chief Two Guns White Calf. That
man is James Earle Frazer, a IA
nous sculptor whose design was ac-
cepted by officials of the United
States treasury when the new five
cent piece was issued.
Mr.. Frazer has stated that he
"had never seen Two Guns White
Calf" which would seem to dispose
of the legend of the Blackfoot be-
ing his model. More than that he
goes on to say that he used the pro-
files of three Indians for his design.
One was Chief Iron Tail of the
Ogallala Sioux, another was Chief
Two Moons of the Northern Chey-
ennes and the third was an Indian
whose name he had forgotten. So
instead of the buffalo nickel In
dian" having one original, it had
three and two of them were very ia
nous Indians indeed-great chiefs
among their people and leaders in
the Custer battle in 1876 and other
famous battles with both white meE
and red.

setting, a wholly fictitious bridge,
In exchange, perhaps, for the use
OF the old city's most romantic old
legend, that of Camille la Perichole.
La Perichole Of the book was a Spec
tacular dancer and actress, very
beautiful save in repose, when zone
was startled to discover that the
nose was long and thin, the mouth
tired and a little childish, the eyes
unsatisfed." Wilder tells us of
her love affair with that wornout
old grandee, Don Andres, viceroy
OF Peru, and of her retirement to a
convent after her beauty was
marred by smallpox scars.
The real Perichole lived in the
Eighteenth century. OF humble par
entage, such was her voice and her
gift Of mimicry that she was a SEN
sation on the South American stage
while still in her early twenties, and
the magnificent castle which her rak-
ish lover, Manuel de Amat, Spanish
viceroy in Peru in real life, gave

scribes her as small of stature and
somewhat plump, her movements
full of vivacity. Her oval face was
pale brunette and even during her
most successful days pitted by small
pox marks, which she skillfully con-
cealed with cosmetics. Her small,
black eyes were lighted by express

CPRINGTIME is here, which

campaign which is and ever will be
at this season of the year.
Here's a timely word of advice,
be sure to stock your work basket
and your sewing cabinet with a
goodly assortment of crochet hooks
and crochet threads and yarns, for
a touch Of hand crochet is the call
of the hour. Paris is all enthusiasm
on the crochet subject and so is
every style-wise American woman
and her next-dOor neighbor.
1t is taken for granted that you
have been buying up all sorts of
pretty wash materials in antici-
patton of this annual sewing bee,
for who can resist the lure OF the
perfectly lovely cottons. rayons and
linens and washable silks which
have been so temptingly on display
throughout the various fabric de-
partments this many day.

COLOR FEATURE OF
SPRING ENSEMBLES

The color theme is predominant
ing feature of many of the new
spring ensembles. A dark coat with
a light touch is worn with a light
frock that boasts a dark note to
match the coat. and there is the en-
semble. OF course, it is not quite
as simple as all that, but this color
scheme is certainly extremely popu-
lar here.
You will like the new ensembles,
for they certainly are different from
almost anything shown for many q

able, and refreshingly new. Fine
materials and furs are used. The

Simplicity Marks New

All the cOlOrs i'll the sartorial

minish the bright success of black.
After several sorties in the direc-
tion of browns, reds and green's, the
smartest women are faring forth in
black suits, ensembles and coats for
general daytime wear.
Many of the frocks have touches
of white, either in the material or
in lingerie accents. an always neat
and youthful note. Simplicity GER
tainly seems to be the watchword
of the newest daytime ensembles,
the kind of clothes that busy wom-
en- select when they face a busy day
