to the N. R. A. when it was
Stacking company sIave-unions on
the workers, driving wages down to
the code coolie minimums, and
Smashing strikes.
Earlier Mr.. Norman Thomas, out
standing leader of the Socialist
Party, had anticipated J. P.
HIorgan's DR.. Writ. The passage
Of the n. R. A. declared the Social
ist reverend, Us a genuine revo-
luton in American economic and
political life" He again repeats, in
his article in the N. Y. Times, June
IS. 1858, that the n. R. A. lis Roose-
volts revolutionary achievement"
"Unquestionably." he emphasizes,
'lsbor gets valuable concessions in
the act, not the least of which is
the right of collective bargaining.
The Real Facts
What has the n. r. A. brought
to he American workers?
1t has strengthened the big
trusts, increasing their profits at
the expense of lowering the workers
living standards. 1t has given more
government power to the trusts, not
only directly through the Roose-
welt government, but indirectly
through the code authoritative
trust owners themselves.
Workers have been enmeshed in
2 series of codes that are smashing
down their wages. Even William
Green on more than one occasion
was forced to admit that code wage
n1inimunls are becoming maximums.
Mr.. Floidel of the railroad labor
executives, went further, saying liv-
ing standards were reaching coolie
leYels.
n. r. A. Outlaws Right to Strike
The N. R. A. has been used by
tha government as a weapon to
outlaw the workers right to strike
and to foster government control
ovar the trade unions. 1t created
ti7e National Labor Board, host
o. Regional Labor Boards, and
lately. the National Automobile
Labor Board with the sole fascist
objective of making strikes illegal
and impossible.
The Roosevelt revolution" which
the forces representad by Messrs.
Green and Thomas so glowingly
hailed, increased the number OF
workers plagued by company unions
from 100000 to 100000.
IN the process of its action against
the workers the N r. A. was shorn
OF most of its demagogic frills and
promises.
It's open hearings Of capital and
labor turned out to be the secret

where all decisive matters were

became the spearhead of all at

Two Big Strike Waves
The N. r. A. was passed in June
1888. in the wave Of growing strikes.
Since that time there have been
two more strike waves. each fraught
with bitter vet fruitful lessons for
the American workers. The first

especially when one happens to be in
warm room. Another outstanding
trend is the fur collar which ripples
about the neckline. Summing up the
situation fur collars are inclined to be
rather fanciful and ornate on the new
coats.
A leading fashion Is the gilet front
which Is fashioned of fur. You see
the idea illustrated in the coat to the
left in the picture. 1t is possible to
buy these detachable fur gilets or YES
tees separately. However, I'm this in
stance, the fur front Is made part of
the coat. The model pictured Is espe-
cially noteworthy in that the astrakhan
which forms the gilet and the cuffs Is
Dyed fur is a favorite theme among
those who are seeking, as most of US
are, for new thrills.
Quilted effects are also creating quite
a little excitement, the idea being
played up in all sorts of interesting
ways. Looking at the coat conferred In
the group, one visions refreshingly new
happenings in the way of cloth treat
ments. This handsome model is
French import, a Bruyere creation.
Here the designer gives us a detach-
able shoulder cape made of the same
gray cloth as the coat. The handsome
wool coating has been quilted in
most decorative manner.
In the model to the right Of heavy
black wooden we see something new
for afternoon coats as launched by
Schiaparelli. This noted French de-
signer calls this triple-tier arrangement
the parachute cape. 1t flares out very
much in the back. The coachman-cape
idea similar to this is frequently ex-
plotted on the new coat program.

FORMAL NIGHTGOWNS
MADE WITH TRAINS

For several months Paris has been
cabling news about the new formal
nightgowns, but no one seems to have
taken them seriously in America until
very recently. Now it's gotten to the
point where young things announce
that their splendid new evening
dresses are really nightgowns and
were bought as sucb.
There are some of these, however.
which are Enthusiastically nightgowns
and can't possibly be worn to the the
alter, but are still so formally lovely
they will take your breath away. Many
of them come with trains and still
more with jackets or long coats of
their own. Lace Is being used on them
in profusion.

Knitted Evening Mittens
Will Keen Hands Warm

Mittens for evening wear with for
NAL gowns are predicted for this win
ter, especially if the thermometer drops
zeroward. The mittens are designed to
go over fine suede or glace gloves and
may be either hand-knitted or of simu-
lated hand-knitted wool. They may be
richly colored like Czech peasant
gloves or cream or yellow mercerized
string. Knitted silk or cotton velvet
in bright colors may be used for these
mittens.

THAT which intrigues most about
i the new coats is that the styling
given them is so refreshingly versatile
and unusual, so entirely departing from
the rank-and-fle. For the tall, the
short, the slender and the stout, there
is coat stuffed to every silhouette.
Loose hanging-from-the-sh lines
are as favored as are the svelte form
'clinging effects.
AS to sports coats, generally speak
ing, they are divided into two types,
the swagger sort, many belted across
the front with loose flowing back, and
the ulster. In regard to the swagger
coat the newer versions are often sew
en-eighths long, whereas last season
the three-quarter length prevailed AS
to the new listers (mOstly of strikingly
handsome tweed or herring bone wool
ens) a distinguishing note is the big
directofre revers which carry most
convincing style message. 1t is as
smart for your cloth ulster to be IN
furred as furred and vice versa. Big
fur reyers are very good style, as also
are the new fur bib effects. Then, too,
the separate fur capelet which is such
a popular idea looks we'll with the cloth
ulster The newest separate fur neck
pieces can be worn as a scarf or the
ends brought around to the back and
fastened, thus affording, to all appear
ance, an elaborate trim to the coat.
Big news in regard to fur-trimmed
coats is ''the coat with a muff." All
the leading coat departments are max
ing feature of this very practical and
attractive idea.
To strike the new note in coats, your
fur collar must bend or flare well away
from the throat. Which is very prac-
teal comfortable thing for it to do,

This pattern sheet gives cutting

seams allowances on the pieces, so an
extra quarter-inch should be added
on all sides. The members usually
traced the design onto lightweight

and used the cardboard pieces as
cutting patterns. These were laid on

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. SPRoWLS.
Vanity.

VANITY runs deep in human ma
ture. 1t represents a sort Of sub
stitute for some shortcoming.
Each individual thinks and dreams
about his pet vanity. In order to
find out what that vanity is, you
have to catch him just as he emerges
from a day-dream. At least the day
it is the very best. Day-dreams carry
over into a good deal Of our ordinary
conversation, and that Is the only
objective clue we have.
The next time you catch yourself
day-dreaming, make an immediate
attempt to recall what 1t was all
about. There is no better way to
find out what you are or rather what
you would like to be. You will dis
cover your vanity.
If you discover what your vanity
is, you will know what your weak
nesses are. You might even go so far
as to make list of them. And then
you can 60 farther and keep q record
of how often your particular vanity
crops out. In the course of a few
months, you should be able to guard
yourself against it.
High-powered statesmen know what
your vanity will do with the dotted
line. Their business is to find out
first what it is.
The one big psychological law of
human nature is the law of vanity.
When you think in terms of your
vanity, you are sure to act according
to its mandates. Your vanity Is your
master.
