LID. Calls on Workers
To Demand Pickets

DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 23.-Call-
ng upon the workers of Detroit to
prevent concerted anti union
drive, the International Labor De-
tense in a statement issued yester-
day, declares that the arrest Of IS
members of Local rs of the Bakery
and Confectionery Workers Union,
who were picketing Haftkas bakery,
is an attempt at a frame-up Of a
most vicious character.
The % workers were arrested fol-
lowing a fight between gangsters,
who supplied the bakery with scabs,
and Haftka and his son. Haftka S
son was shot to death as a cons.-
quence. The police hold Ave more
John Doe warrants to arrest lead
ers Of the union.
Threat to All Workers
Meanwhile bakery bosses are
flooding the city with propaganda
about union made bread being COW
cred with blood" and that the
union label is label OF murder. :"
The l. L. D., in making preparations
for series OF protest meetings,
warns that unless the membership
of all unions and workers organi-
cations is aroused against this
frane-up, similar drives will be
made against active union members
in other unions.
The statement follows, in part:
For over two years the Bakery
and Confectionery Workers Union
Local No. 70 has carried on
a strike at Haftka's Bakery, for the
right TO organize and for collective
bargaining. For over two years Mr..
Haftks has been dealing with gang
Sters, thugs and shady underworld
characters, who have supplied him
with strikebreakers to replace hon
est union men who are struggling
for a living wage and humane work
ing conditions. For over two years
Haftka has been producing scab-
baked bread under the protection
of gunner.

gowns on each side of the
waistline. The lacing effect is
obtained by small corded bands
of self-material passed through
metal or plastic eyelets. At
Worth's are seen laced effects
on evening models. The eyelets
were replaced by transparent
crystalline material and rhine
stone buckles.
Laced effects are also notice
able on felt hats. Rose Descat

She disposes the latter in vo.

well as in incrustations. This
embroidery or lace is particu-
larly effective in silver color
over a pale turquoise blue,
lemon yellow or maize biege,

color schemes for the moment.
These colorS are also recon.
mended for underwear in dull

BY WILMA LAVILLE

In the Decorators Digest"
a magazine for decorators only,
I read with some apprehension
of the recent annual Salon DIES
Artistes Decorateurs," or exhibi-
ton of rooms by well known
Partisan decorators.
It terrified me at first, for it
sounded so stark and ultra mod
ern. And we often take our
ideas from such exhibits. But
on reading further, I find that
they are appealing mainly to
people of small means, and try
ing to get business at lowered
prices, because the present ex-
change rate has cut their bust
ness down considerably.
If we follow them, we will
throw out all our beautiful fur
niture that is more than a few
years old, for there was not a
single piece of antique furni-
ture in the whole show. But
I'm sure we won't follow them,
for classic modern is much more
popular in America, and I see
no reason why it shouldn't con-
tinue to be.
Furniture Sparse
Imagine huge living room
furnished with nothing but two
armchairs, two low wall cabi-
nets, one picture, one statuette,
a bird cage, a leopard rug and
a small piano. I simply can't
believe that we will come to it.
But that's one of the rooms
shown in Paris.
Simplicity approaches sever

they expect us to put our guests
to sit. And I can't believe it
would be very cheerful to live in.

nality must be expressed in col
lars.
There's a great movement to
the front in the new fur collars,
with jabot effects, draped COL
lars, rippled collars, plastrons
rippled, Stoles, and wide revers
all popular. Collars are rather
flat, and there's less fur massed
around the ears than before.
FurS Detachable
Many fur effects are detach-
able, not only the capes and
StoleS, but the jabots and plast-
rons, too. They are nearly all
made so that they can be worn
on dresses and evening wraps, or
on suits too.
Black is by far the leading
color, though much brown is
seen too The greens are most
ly the deep pine-needle or forest
greens, or the yellowish greens
that go well with brown. Other
colors are really in the minor
ity, and are used for Individual
ity and to be different.
The furS match the coats
nearly always, though occasion
ally grand effects are achieved
by using them to contrast. Much
beaver, nutria, seal, mink and
Persian lamb are seen. the flat
furS. and silver fox is the
grand fur of all time.

Cloth coats are seen only in
the stores, of course, but enough
of them have already been pur-
chased that it's easy to tell
what will be worn. And it's
gratifying to find that there's
little change in the silhouette,
but considerable originality in
the collars and fur trimmings.
just as we said a month or
so ago when the early sale coats
came out.
Simmer Than Ever
The coats themselves, the
bodies of the coats, are slightly
fitted, as slim in line as possible,
and about the same length as
they were last year. There is
often width in the sleeves, but
somewhere below the shoulders,
and usually in pretty modified
form. In fact, many Of the best
coats have perfectly plain
sleeves.
Belts may be in front only,
in the back only, all around, or
just two little ends that tie.
Many coats are beltless. There
is quite a revival Of the Chanel
double-breasted coat that got off
to a good start several seasons
ago.
Muffs Return
MuffS are back, in great num-
berS, and in many original
shapes. Some of them are so
long that their Paris originator
called them "dachshunde." But
they are not seen with every
coat. And so the greatest origi-

Laced Effects VeN POPULAR

PARIS. - Among interesting
details are laced effects, which
appear on a great number Of
models, both for morning and
atfernoon wear. Morning
dresses and tailleurs are show
ing very wide belts with large
eyelets, either in plastic mate
rial or in leather, through
which are passed laces in self
material or in supple leather.
This idea has been carried out
by Philippe and CASTOR for
sports giletS that are worn over
the blouse to accompany three
quarter ensembles. Lucille Paray
disposeS a laced effect on FUR
boleros, especially on leopard
skin and peroxided seal skin.
The laceS are in brown doeskin,
very supply, ended by long tips
in tortoise shell brown plastic
material, which is gored in
spiral effect.
Laced effects also appear on
very cloSe-fitted dresses. Molly

Dull Royon Crepes Important
In LinQene STYLES

PARIS.-DuIl rayon crepes
still have an important place in
the realm of lingerie, not only
for underwear but particularly
for deshabilles and negligees.
Cadolle has designed some very
smart models in dull rayon
heavy sheers and in dull peb-
bled rayon crepes, which she
trims with faconne rayon crepe
SatinS showing dull large polka
dots, or rather dollar dots, over
bright satin backgrounds or vice
versa. She makes the sleeves in
fancy material, mounted with
organ pipe pleats in kimona or
low shoulder effects. A double
band Of that same fancy ma.
terial, entirely detachable, is
fixed around the neck opening,
crossed over the bust, turned
around the waistline and al
lowed to be knotted at the back
into a long sash with ends fall
ing over the skirt in a sort of
panel effect.

so Washington gents had
better watch out for those
mighty rights which are be-
ing developed.
Most of the diplomats and
their families have returned
to town-the Sokolowskis
and the Echegarays.
For those who are thor
oughly bored with reading
about resorts-we can prac-
tically offer a guarantee that
this will be the last summer

neither are we, that is, for
the immediate future.

colors seem to be much more
important here than they've
ever been before. Walls, floors,
upholstery. everything but the
woods are perfectly plain.
Walls we're painted in pastels,
green, rose, blue, gray Or white.
Black, blue and brown were the
favorite upholstery colors, and
leather in red or green appeared
frequently. Plain colored car
pet or inlaid linoleum were floor
coverings most often seen, with
brown and taupe best. Sometimes
deep pile rugs were placed about
the room.
There's wide choice Of
woods, and many finishes on
those, so that the real variety
is in the furniture itself. The
lines of the furniture are en-
tirely severe, however.
Combinations Good
The thing they did best was
work out combination rooms,
such as living and dining rooms,
or living and bed rooms. Mod
ern furniture is excellent for
small apartments, we must con-
cede, and also lends itself bet
ter to combinations than fur
niture designed in other periods,
for rooms and houses that were
often gigantic.
The French are doing unusual
things with ceilings, too, max
ing them different heights, using
rounded corners, deep corniceS
and coves, and providing many
opportunities for indirect light
ing in unusual effects. That
seems to me to be the best of
their work.
