Case Against Long Skirts
BY EPSIE KINARD
NEA Staff Writer

Spearhead of the revolt against
the trend towards longer skirts is
guess vino?
"Oomph girl" Ann Sheridan,
whose Irish is up. Crossing ex-
hibits A and B in her case against
fashions decree, the Texas-born
redhead said her skirts are going
to stay where they are-16 inches
from the floor.
Accusing the fashion-makers OF
using old bait-that of outmoding
existing styles so that new ward
robes will be required Am
thinks American women are too
smart to bite.
Queries the "oomph girl" who
won't be taken in: What about
scarce fabrics? What's the sense
of making bigger yardage de-
mands when the nation is trying
to recover from shortages?"
Wagging a finger at dictum'
makers who threaten to put wear
able clothes into discard by de-
claring that "skirts will be longer
this season.. Ann says they won't
if women won't wear them.
To girls invited to join her
camp, Ann makes two more rally
ing cries: 'Who wants a lot of ex-
cess cloth ~spiraling around her
legs? To conceal decorative pins
with long skirts is like coacealing
a statue with a tent"

BY RUTH MILLET

In the old days Papa had his
night out with the boys and Mama
wouldn't dream of spending an
evening with the girls, leaving
Papa at home as a baby-sitter.
But times have changed. Now
the girls are going in for evening
parties and get-togethers.
1t started during the wal when
lonley wives had to occupy their
evenings somehow, so switched
their bridge-playing' from after
noon to after-dinner. And they've
stayed with the altered schedule.
One reason may be that war
turned many young husbands into
home-lovers who would rather sit
at home with the evening paper
and radio than 60 to a movie,

WE, THE WOMEN
Times Change: Papa Minds The Baby

with the result that their wives
get an overdose Of sitting al
home.
The other reason is the scarcity
of baby %sitters.
It's a problem for Mama to find
somebody to stay with the kids II
the afternoon. But going out II
the evening is a cinch. Papa car
baby-sit.
Grandma, who thought it was
wife's duty to be at home when
ever her husband was around,
would be Mortified at the idea Of
wives evening parties. But II
seems to be working out all right
with the young couples.
The husbands apparently aren'i
objecting to the baby-siting ar
rangement, probably for two very
good reasons.
1t lets them out of gossipy bridge
sessions.
And the wife who has her eve
ming out can't very we'll object tc
a husbands weekly poker night.
So, unless you mind being
thought old-fashioned, don't turn
down an evening invitation with
the explanation: I'D love to come
but George will be home"
The modern wife will answer:
That's perfect. Then you won't
have to scare up a baby-sitter."

Why Did Lewis Yield?
BIZ Ray,,, ond Moley

make up for the losses in this strike.
For it takes no economist to see that
the coal not burned during the strike
may never have to be replaced. A strike,
like war, destroys wealth irretrievably.
All this was food for miners think
Ing, and Lewis knows what miners think.
And so because he cannot afford to
lose the utter loyalty Of his minersa
loyalty built on the money he has won
for them in past years-Lewis gave in.
Put this down as motive number one.
Other motives are more speculative.
It is hard TO believe that Lewis feared
public opinion. He has faced that be-
fore. He was not awed by majesty OF
government, for in his book govern
ment is men, ordinary men, whom he
has outsmarted over and over. He might
have had some doubts about the Su-
preme Court and consequently felt that
the Court would deal more lightly with
him if there were no immediate crisis.
That is fair guess.
- ~
Lewis had personal things at stake,
too. His ambitions extend far beyond
his rule OF the miners. He is back in
the AFI.. william Green is older
than Lewis and Is growing no younger.
Lewis must want to head the AFL,
in person or through man OF his own
choosing. The repercussions OF this
strike are far-reaching. Workers In
many industries have been losing pay,
irretrievably.
And, finally, there IS political COP
xen,,ence which must be reckoned.
Lewis Is q Republican. He wants the
Republican party to prevail, And ne
wants ia be high in the good graces
of that party. With congressional an,
ger rising, he was risking politlcal
break with the new Republican iead-
ership He wants to beat other labor
leaders to the band wagon. The strike
was il the way. That was not the least
Of the many reasons why he paid the
price of defeat which he still regards
SIS temporary.
(Released ~ the Associated Newspapers, Inc.S
Evening star., 1946-12-11

Questions as to the motive" said
John L. Lewis to the reporters on Sat-
llrday. will be purely speculative"
Lewis then reached into the crowded
bag Of his learning and added, Some
philosopher has said the pursuit Of mo-
tiyes is the most .elusive task In the
world"
Nevertheless, let's take q whack at it.
we all can quote from philosophers,
and good many Of them say that
motives are determined by studying the
pattern Of mans whole life. The pat
tern Of Lewis leadership is to get all
he can for miners by any possible means.
He called the strike because he thought
he could get more for the miners by a
terrific surprise attack on the Truman
administration at q moment when that
politically minded regime was on the
eve OF an election. A week or 10 days
before November /, the Truman regime
knew--and this know specifically
that it was going to lose Congress. So
it was decided. to cast aside politics
and meet Lewis head on.
After five weeks. which included II
days of idleness for the miners, state
OF affairs was reached In which Q pro-
tracted delay in adjudicating the case
might be expected. Time was running
out for the miners. They had, accord
ing to one estimate, lost on an average
$682 III strikes In the current year. They
stood to lose still more In pay. Also.
considering the legal aspects Of the
case, there was q chance to lose more
IN fines.
At this point, no doubt, Lewis was
engaged in d bit Of philosophical specu-
lation himself. How long could he keep
his miners content. with Christmas COM
ing and irrecoverable losses runnlngf
The miners could do little ngurine
themselves. They could anticipate get-
tinne to replenish stock piles. They
niRht also get some new advantages
frorn successful negotiation after = FUR
ther hoIdout But they must have known
that It would take : long. long time So
