Self-Made Woman

Miss Sally. whom you all know
as the little blond girl, is truly one
OF the iew really seli=madc women.
She started her career selling furs
from her home on Virginia Park
over twelve years ago
II was her idea to enable the De-
troit women Of modest income to
own a smart fur coat. Her coats
have always been selected for their
individuality, as well as wearing
quality, so that each and every fur
coat sold would flatter the pur-
chaser's personality. 1t is with
this aim in mind that Miss Sally
has built up a truly great fur in-
stitutieHr where woman can pur-
chase fur coat from an unlimited
selection OF individually styled fur
coats that will flatter her particu-
lar type, so that the coat will not
only afford warVth to its owner,
but style and Sntartness as well.
That is why every Detroit woman
can afford lovely smart fur Coat
that will not only wear well but
will afford its wearcr a great deal
OF pleasure.

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-Operations

per cent of capacity. highest since
the week of May "a. 1887, when out
put was scheduled at 81 per cent. the
American Iron g. Steel Institute
estimated today. This compared
with 875 per cent last week.
A month ago operations were at
the rate Of 70,2 per cent of capacity,
while year ago they were 5l.4 per
cent.
CLEVELAND, Oct. 8 (P).-Hum-
ming at boom-time tempo, the Ma
tons steel industry is headed toward
80 per cent production rate to
meet urgent demands, says the
magazine Steel.
In only few cases are producers
of the commoner steel products able
to take additional business for ship
ment by December 81 the maga-
zine reports.
Some consumers are seeking
places on flrst-quarter schedules,
but mills are accepting such busi-
ness at open prices. and only a rel
atively small tonnage has been taken
on this basis"
A moderation is noted in fourth
quarter requirements, but increased
consumption ''is reflected in pressure
for delivery and in heavier demands
on warehouses by users unable to
obtain sufficiently prompt shipment
from mills"
During September. 81 blast fur
naces were lighted. the largest num-
Der placed in operation in any one
month since September. 1922. Pig
iron production last month averaged
95,757 tons daily. says Steel, up 116
per cent from August and a gain of
more than 10 per cent above year
ago.
Since many furnaces went in
the latter part of the month, a more
substantial upturn in production is
seen for October" the magazine OBJ
serves.

Effort to End Practice
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, Oct. 9.-The Chrysler
Corp. closed its Dodge division 20
minutes after the start of operations
today and sent 10000 workers home.
Herman L. Weckler. vice president
in charge of Chrysler operations,
said union employees had started q
SLOW down" strike after the man
agement had refused to rehire 64
employees dismissed last week.
The Dodge management said the
$3.50 pm. shift would 60 to work as
usual and that operations on later
shifts would be continued If there
were no slow down. Weckler said
both the dismissals Friday and the
shutdown today were brought about
by employees allowing automobiles on
the final assembly line to go past
untouched, disrupting production.
G. l. O. United Automobile Work.
ers officials refused to recognize the
dismissals and ordered the men to
report for work as usual this morn
ing. When the management refused
to reinstate them, a corporation
spokesman said, unionists began q so
per cent showdown.
Today's halt in operations fol-
lowed an exchange of accuse tions
over the week end between the COM
pany and the union.
The union charged the company
with a production speed up and un-
satisfactory wage scales, while Week.
Ter, in statement, accused the
union of resorting to "a new form
of sit-down" which he described as
obviously demonstration of power
to compel concessions in the con-
tract negotiations soon to be entered
into"
In statement Wexler made the
charges against the union and said
production schedules called for mo
more individual output than for
merly.
Several plans have been sub
jected for some days to produc-
ton strike, a new form of sit-down
which is no less to be condemned
than the original unlawful seizure
of property two and half years
ago." Wexler said. Now the weap-
on of coercion and intimidation is
the loW-down.
1T is obviously a demonstration
to compel concessions in the con-
tract negotiations soon to be en-
tered into by the union and the
corporation. Apparently the

an increase of almost Is per cent
over 1888. according to estimates by

Tire sales for replacement pur-
poses were expected to show sub
stantial gain in the first half be-
cause of the greater use of motor
cars and the large number OF cars
produced in 1886 and 1887 which
would need new tires. However, q
first-half increase of SO per cent was
considerably larger than anticipated.
Sales were well maintained in July

creasing evidence of some consumer
