OOSHOE WORKERS
FIGHT WAGE CUTS
Demand Reinstate-
ment of Militants

NEW YORK.-On Monday. Jan
uary II, 1882, over 800 workers
stopped work at the Andrew Geller
Shoe Co., 735 Eorimer Street, Brook
Ign, N. T., one of the largest fac
tories in Brooklyn; for the reinstate-
ment OF two discharged workers.
For many weeks the workers have
been showing their discomfort as a
result Of the last wage-cut the firm
forced upon them with the aid Of
company union schemes, and were
beginning TO move for organization
inside the shop against the repeated
attacks of the firm.
In an attempt to crush this or
ganized move, the firm fired a girl
working in the fitting department. A
committee Of this department i'm
mediately went to the boss demand
ing the reinstatement Of the girl.
The firm tried TO evade the question.
A meeting Of the filters was held
outside Of the shop. AS a result two
more outspoken workers OF the fit
ting room were fired. A stoppage Of
the entire fitting department fol-
lowed on Saturday, January 9th.
Again committee went to the firm,
demanding reinstatement, but no
definite results were obtained. On
Monday morning the rest OF ths de-
partnents walked out In sympathy
with the filters, for the reinstatement
OF the discharged workers.
The entire crew met yesterday and
drew up q series Of demands for the
reinstatement OF the discharged
workers, for an increase IN wages
and other improvements. The mill
fancy Of the workers Is very high and
the workers are ready TO strike under
the leadership Of the Shoe and
Leather Workers Industrial Union
should the firm reject the workers
demands. They are all ready to de-
fend their fellow workers.

''But now even this little Is taken

head, claims that there is no money.
The bankers refuse to market the
bonds. The cities which were sup
posed to take care of the unemployed

ticular, pretends that 1t cannot Dor
row the money-and therefore, the
unemployed are left to starve.
And now comes the news that the
subway fares will be raised to 8 or
10 cents. On top of letting the I'M
employed starve, cutting wages right
and left, after raising the light rates
100 per cent, after refusing to erect
new schools so that all children may
be given schooling-the erection of

but minus any increase of costs. Diff
ferent aspects Of this subject have been
enumerated, but the identical idea OF
lettering conditions without increased
cost is the underlying plan always.
1t is often mistake to consider that
having what you want is beyond your
means. To add the wanted thing,
which may be a purchase or may be
more service, to the already full budget
is not in the present scheme. But to
secure the desired result, by good man
agement so that your wish is granted
and the budget expenditure not en-
croached upon, is the matter under con-
sideration.
An Illustration will point the argu-
ment. One homemaker felt a decided
need of more help in her houSework.
She also realized she should not in
crease the cost of living. She put on
her thinking cap and found this Solu-
ton: Instead of sending her fiatwork
to the laundry she had 1t done at home
on the regular wash day.
This increased the work Of the wash
erwoman so that she could not do quite
as much ironing in the day, although
the extra time required for the natWork
was not more than an hour, often less
The next bit of manipulation was IN
engaging a few hours work during the
middle Of the week. The woman al
this time finished such ironing as was
left and did the extra work which
the homemaker wanted accomplished

Everyday Psychology
Vocational Guidance.
By DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs

There are parents who imagine that
they know what their sons are "cut out"
for The vast majority Of these voca-
tional predictions are mere wishes on
the part of parents, who have few pet
ideas about what constitutes a good
vocation.
Something like half Of all the boys
and girls at the age Of 10 can give no
reason for what they talk about as
vocational choice. The results OF Slz-
able number of scientific studies Of vo-
cational influences indicate that mere
accidental circumstances dictate what
is likely to happen. Vocational interests
fluctuate a great deal even up to the
age of 20. That's why many persons are
never able to find their proper place In
the work-a-day world. And that's why
so many are always looking for some
thing better to turn up" The most
prevalent of all human discontents Is
vocational dissatisfaction.
Lately, it has become a popular prac-
tice for colleges and schools to under
take to place" or guide" their stu
dents into the proper vocation. So far
the idea is devoid of anything like a
substantial foundation.
The best vocational guidance you can
offer any young person is good, all
around training in language, mathe-
matiCs and science. II one has the
ability to master some worthwhile school
subject he may safely be permitted to
find his own vocation.

VOW about your supply of scarfs?

n VOW about your supply OF scarfs?
Have you plenty Of them to go
with your various dresses and
4 4 coats?. Are they as becoming
and as up to date as they
should be?
Scarfs always are Midwinter ne
cessity, and this year they are espe-
cially needed since so many of the
coats are made with wide stand-offlsh
collars that need to be supplemented
by scarf to keep the neck and throat
protected from wind and cold.
The scarf shown in the sketch was
made as an accessory to the dress with
which it was worn, but it may be
copied for a separate scarf to wear
with any dress. In form 1t is SIM
pie triangle made by cutting a square
in two from one corner to the opposite
corner. One corner is left as it is, but
the other corner is turned under about
an inch and through the double thick
ness thus produced slash is made
about an inch long. This is bound off
like tailored buttonhOle, so that when
the scarf is worn the opposite end is
thrust through the slit as shown in
the sketch.
You can make your scarf all in one
color or you can combine two or three
colors so as to give the scarf banded
effect. If you decide to make the scarf
in two or more tones it Is a good plan
to choose one tone to match your coat
and the other tone or two to match
your dress. In this way you will link
