Nav Split Labor Vote

WILLIAM GREEN, president Of
W the American Federation Of
Labor, threatened to split organized
labor's vote in the 1888 cJngression-
al elections by asking for the with
drawal Of all federation support for
labor's Non-Partisan league.
Charging that the league was "a
ventriloQuist' dummy for the Com
mittee for Industrial Organization"
Green recommended that the fed
eration's executive council order all
affiliates to withdraw and cease
financial contributions.
Such action, it was believed, may
effectively split labor's vote in the
1888 elections, when all congress
men, 80 senators and many state
officials face reelection campaigns.
In Washington John L. Lewis de-
clared that thousands of workers
now face desperate need. and even
starvation, despite the Presidents
promise to let no willing worker
starve.
In a letter urging all affiliates Of
his Committee for Industrial Or
ganization to notify congress that
immediate action is needed to pro-
vide 100000 work relief jobs for
the unemployed, Lewis added: The
administration has taken upon it.
self this obligation, and the workers
of America expect it to fulfill its

the expansion bill by the middle Of
February.
Chairman Carl Vinson Of Georgia
called together his house naval af-
fairs committee and began hearings
on the measure, certain that IT
would be reported favorably with
little delay.
The President in his message rec
ommended:
That the present naval building
Rrogram be increased 20 per cent.
That congress authorize two ad-
ditional battleships and two cruisers
during 1888.
That congress authorize So, SOC, 600
for additional anti-aircraft equip
ment.
That congress provide for better
establishment of an enlisted reserve
for the army.
That congress legislate TO prevent
profteering in wartime and to
equalize the burdens of possible
war.
Among his recommendations the
President also included appropria-
tons for experimental smaller ves-
sells: for army ammunition and for
the manufacture of army equip
ment.
Opposition to the bill in the house
was expected to come from certain
members from the middle western
states. Tinkham of Massachusetts
also didn't like the program, saying
it was one Of offense, not defense,
and that the President was prepar-
ing to get the United States into the
League Of Nations.
Senators Vandenberg Of Michigan
and Frazier Of North Dakota de-
manded that Mr.. Roosevelt make
public the foreign policy he expects

Anti-Brassiere Campaign
BY ELMO SCOTT WATSON
@ Western Newspaper Union.

.MIHEN the late Halbert l..
w Hoard, editor of the Jefferson
County Union, approached some OF
his friends in Fort Atkinson, Wis,
wits a request that they sign Pc
tition which he had prepared, they
didn't hesitate. They knew his pa
per advocated some very good
things and they were willing to help
Bert" along. What they had signed
was this:
The undersigned note with alarm the
increase in divorces since the nineteenth
amendment, the woman suffrage law.
We note many more women wearing
breecheS than before. We can stand
that. but this new fad slab-sided
dresses, fiat in front-showing women in
the fashion pictures as flat-chested as
man. we regard with Jealous eyes as an
infringement
We ask that the congress of the United
States do its utmost to break down these
brassieres as an evil that menaceS the
future well being of society.
They very soon realized that they
had been little hasty. Their wom-
enfolk told them they 'ought to be
ashamed" and that they should
mind their own business" But a
welfare league in a city nearby took
the matter seriously and passed a
resolution supporting the campaign.
Then an official of the state board
of health issued a statement say
ing that brassieres caused rickets in
babies. Whereupon Mr.. Hoard wrote
an editorial in which he said:
There are cow.milk-fed babies right in
this city that are gasping for breath. the
doctor at his wits end to nourish them
properly. They could live on monkey S
milk. because monkeys are related. but
there are no monkeys around except
with the deadly brassieres and few OF
those are giving milk.
Before the uproar over this mat
ter died down, Halbert Hoard was
known from coast to coast as the
valiant crusader against the dead
ly brassiere"-all because Of hoax
which some of his oblging friends
helped perpetrate.

a STITCH in time goes a long
"A way toward making your
days brighter and your burdens
lighter when the bustling, busy
days of Spring roll round. No
time then for leisure hours with
your sewing kit, and fortunate in
deed are the early birds who have
got on with their Spring wardrobe.
The moral?-make your selec-
tions now and be off to the races
when the season starts!
Practical House Coat.
There is a versatility to this
clever pattern which makes it
prime favorite for the style con-
scious and the thrifty. Designed
in two lengths, it lends itself per-
fectly to either of two needs-as
an apron frock in gingham or
seersucker for busy days around
the house, or as full length beach
or sports coat in chintz or linen
crash. The princess lines are
smooth and fiattering and there
are just seven pieces to the pat
tern-a cinch to make and a JOY
TO wear.
Slimming Silhouette.
This handsome frock in linen or
crepe does wonders for the full
figure, sloughing off pounds here
and bulges there with the utmost
ease. Streamlined from the shoul-
ders and buttoned at the waist
with two graceful scallops, this is
the sort of frock which answers
your need perfectly for almost
any social or shopping excursion,
a standby to see you through the
Summer. There is a choice of
long or short sleeves and the sim
plicity of the design-just eight
pieces in all-insures success
even for the inexperienced in
home sewing.
Attractive Apron.
"Swell" isn't word the teach
er recommends but it is highly
appropriate in describing this
handy apron frock which goes
about the business of being an
honest-to-goodness apron, not just
a postage stamp model to wear
for effect. Appealing in design,
easy to wear, extremely service
able, with two convenient pockets,
this perfectly swell apron was de-
signed by a busy housewife who
knew her oats! Six pieces to the
pattern.

Row Over Coal Prices

M INIMUM prices for coal and
4N1 marketing regulations fixed by
the national bituminous coal COM
mission have aroused a storm Of
complaints. Resentment was espe-
cially strong in Illinois, which,
though ranking third among soft
coal producing states, is not repre-
sented on the commission.
Six coal companies started court
action in Chicago to restrain en-
forcement of the price schedule, and
Chicago itself contemplated similar
action. The cities of Rochester, N.
Y; Cleveland, Ohio; and St. Louis,
Mo-. complained Of high and unfair
coal rates and appealed to the
courts to suspend the commission S

This would require the creation of
