past role as agents of the bosses in
the industry exposes the present
statements of Green and Shore of
the A. F. OF l.. in the capitalist press
that they are out to restore union
conditions" as mockery.
The Meaning of Their Statements
The cold-blooded murder OF Morris
LANCER, leader of the fur dyers and
of Natalie Bolero and their more rec
ent armed attack on the industrial
union headquarters indicates the kind
of drive to restore union conditions"
they are planning. The subsequent
denialS of the A. F. of l.. officials
that they were not responsible for
the attack, although it was openly
reported in the fur manufacturers
official organ, Women's Wear" was
merely an attempt to shift reSpon-
sibility. The exposure compelled them
to withhold their attacks upon the
workers for period, but the terror
has been renewed and hired thugs
have been sent to the market to break
the militant strikes carried on by the
furiers.
Under the slogan Of Fighting
Communism, the A. F. of L. officials
have already come to an understand
ing with the employers and will seek
through their old methods Of terror
and treachery to force their company
union on the furriers.
The splendid manner in which the
workers rallied to the defense of the
union in the last attack and to retain
the gains won under the leadership
of the industrial union shows clearly
that they are ready to fight this
new threat of the A. F. of l.. The fur
workers will not be alone in this
struggle. They will have the whole
hearted support of all unions affilia-
ted to the Trade Union Unity Council
and all militant workers. The success
of the furriers in defense Of their
union and their class interests viii
help to strengthen the entire revolu-
tionary movement"
The TU.UC. calls on all unions
and workers organizations to send
delegates to the Defense Conference
which will lay the basis for workers
defense corps to defeat the new at
tacks on the needle workers and on
all other unions. The Conference
takes place Thursday night, May 10,
8 D. m. at the headquarters of the

militant strikes and demonstrations.
NEW YORK. = The local district
committee for the Protection of For
eign Born yesterday called upon all
organizations of workers and SYM
pathizers to send delegates to the
United Front Conference Against
Persecution of the Foreign. Born. The
conference is to take place Sunday,
May 81, at 10 am. in Manhattan
Lyceum, &c E. 4th st.
In statement issued at the same
time, the Committee pointed out the
fact that when delegations of workers
representing the militant trade unions
and working class organizations, in
conference with Frances Perkins last
Wednesday, demanded an. answer to
the question-"Are you going to con-
tinue Doak's policy of bounding and
prosecuting militant workers who
fight for better conditions?" Miss
Perkins refused to make a definite
reply.
In stressing the Importance of this
conference, the Committee cited the
imprisonment of Edith Berkman; the
fact that nine members of the Ma
tional Miners Union, including Frank
Borich, are being held for deporta-
ton; and the threat of deportation
made several days ago at the Swedish
Seamen's Home on Stone ST., when
the seamen protested against the
closing of their home and the cutting
off of their relief.

These models somewhat subdue thu

lish drape.
Double breasted Gain Favor
While the doubIc-brcasted coat
has always been looked upon as a
better fall than a spring style it
will be more prominent this Spring
than in many years. The trend tow
ard odd Jackets and trousers will
have much to do with this increased
popularity for the double-breastcd
coats. Another contributing factor
will be the vogue for striped flan-
nels which always look better and
tailor better in the doublc-breasted
models. During the summer season
when men will wear odd jackets
with sport trousers the double
breasted coats will be particularly
strong. ..'.
Enter the Combination Outfit
A decided departure in American
styling is designed for this spring
and summer season. That is the in
PRODUCTION of the vogue of wearing
coat and vest of one pattern and
trousers OF another pattern. While
this vogue is of English influence
its promotion in this country ema-

that it has taken a time for tn,
rank and file to reconcile them
selvc to the idiocyncracies of this
style.
Somehow American men have al
ways made strong point of pre-
else fit TO which the English drapc
model is in some measure opposed.
The idea of fullness across the chest
and puckeriDg at the sleeve heads
did not at first set well with Ameri-
can men. They seem to fear that
their wives and other uniformed
clothes critics would get the im-
preston that they were wearing ill
fitting clothes. But college men with
their penchants and ability TO wear
clothes nonchalantly have done
much not only to pOpularize the
model but also to demonstrate the
smartness with which this model
can be worn and as a result an in
creased popularity for this style is
forecast for the coming season.
There are various other soft con-

brown. grey and black, dark blue
and grey and black and white. They
make fine lounge and sport effects
and the packets will go well with
slen plaid slacks that are coming
into high favor as combination out
fits.
Flannels Have A Following
Another important factor in the
Spring suit styles will be aannels.
While fannels had some vogue last
season in odd sport trousers they
have not been used with much prom
inence for complete suits for a sea-
son or two. Now they are coming
back strong and offer a fine relief
effect for the two suit man in that

Spring come in vertical effects,
largely in chalf line treatments.
Blue with white or red stripes; OK
ford or Cambridge greys with white
or black stripes or tans with grey
or red stripes are the smarest er-
fects. Many of these will be worn
in the dOuble-breasted peak lapel
models.
The Model Variety
There have been no radical
changes in the modelling of suits for
this Spring. The models that intro
Cuced themselves last Spring and
carried on throughout the fall seem
TO be simply cnlarging on their
gradual popularity. For instance. TIE
English Drape suits were such a

mates from the smarest universities.
1t is largely born of the practice of
university students of wearing sport
jackets with slacks and its adop-
tion has been paved by the liking of
business men for wearing sport
coats and flannel trousers during
the summer season.

means 4 strictly summer informal

Sport Models in tie odd Jacket


team work.
Sport Models in the Odd Jacket
The jackets OF these coats will
follow the lines prescribed for the
ensemble suits. They will show
both English drape and regulation
models but the great development
/ will be toward sport details. Many
! of these packets will have the Nor
folk back with half-belt. Others will
/ show the inverted pleat backs or
plain backs with small knife pleats
Just above the belt line. Still others
will show the full draped back with
under-arm pleats and the more con
servatiye will show only modcr-
ate pinch-back treatment.
These packets are mainly in
smartly patterned tweeds, sedately
patterned or solid color shetlands;
novelty gabardines; glen plaid
treatments in fine wOrsteds and
cheviots and 1iannels in vertical
effects of chalk line, hairline and
pencil stripe designs.
The trousers on these combina-
tion outfits are cut fairly trim in
contrast to the ample slacks for
campus wear They are mostly high-
WASTED and somewhat full across
the hips following the details of the
prescribed English drape treatment.
Most of them are regulation in style
details but those for more definite
sport or lounge wear show side em-
hellishments of button, loop or dOu-
ble-ring attachments. Upper fqstcn-
ers will not find much vogue in
these dress trousers and that fea-
ture will be almost entirely conGn-
cd to the campus slack and sport
varieties.
About Summer Formal
If this style is adopted as a con
vention for regular spring wear it
might be supposed that there will
be no change of pace for purely
summer formal. This, however, is
not expected to occur as the provis-
ions for midsummer wear have

- PIRIT, design, color; thest
q are the outstanding feature,
of mems spring apparel par,
ticularly with reference to the new
suits and topcoats. Never before in
one season have so many tradition
ary conventions been ruthlessly
thrown aside by novelty innovations
as you will observe this Spring.
Fashion for the past several sea-
sons has been marked by studied
sedateness carried to extremes that
approximated doldums. Now those
who shape the edicts have been in
spired to make fashion more ex-
pressive, more emphatic, more live
ly doubtless as an antidote to the
conditions of depression to raise
the spirits and the morale of men
insofar as apparel aspect can influ-
ence the outlook.
So far the Spring season we will
see not only warmer colors in our
apparel but also more characterful
patterns. The man dressed to the
edicts this spring will look more
spirited, more assertive, more ener-
getic and hence fashion will serve
to create a new momentum, a new
aggressiveness and a new vigor that
is so needed at time when mems
spirits seem to droop.
PlaidS are Prominent
In this new scheme of things
plaids become very prominent in the
styling of spring suits. These are
largely on Glenurquhart motifs that
offer intricacy. of design without
theatrical holiness. These plaids in
inter and over-woven effects per-
NIT Of diversified color employ
ment even utilizing sprinklings of
such warm shades as red. green and
purples. Because these are neutral
lied with more stable foundation
colors such as grays, tans and
browns they are by no means fam
buoyant or loud but rather pleasing
in their tastily subdued forms.
In former seasons these plaid ef
fects were largely confined to such
soft fabrics as cheviots and cassi-
meres, but now we see them in fine
worsteds and even in rough tweeds.
Very often these overplaids are
carried out in two-tone treatments
of the same primary color For in
stance a light brown foundation
with the pattern in darker shade
of brown. Or a light grey founda-
tion with the pattern in blue-gray
effect. Greys with greens, browns
with blues, tans with blues and
grey with reds are other smart
combinations.
Tweeds are Vari-cOlOred
Tweeds will occupy an important
place in the fabric lineup for
Spring as they have for the past
two seasons but in patternings the
tweeds of this Spring are decided
novelties. Instead of the conven-
tional two-tone basket weave treat
ments we now find vari-colored in
termixtures almost of the pepper
and salt variety. The most striking
innovations in these tweeds are in
fairly large interval overplaids, al
most block designs and they are de-
cidedly attractive and smart espe-
cially when worn by men of suffici-
ent height and slimness to carry off !
large pattern effects gracefully
Also in these tweeds we see many |
check treatments of the shepherd |
and houndstooth variety These
have been popularized by the Prince
of Wales and his brother and some
very smart color combinations have
been devised. They come in tan and
