Union X Mgg1nt. Unite To Stir
 Interest lin Furs
By STERLING F. GREEN

WASHINGTON, R = Union and management forces in the fur industry united today in a three year, $900,O00 program to revive the American woman's Tagging interest in buying furs.
 While mink, ermine and sable remain popular with those who can afford them, the less exotic furs have slumped in feminine favor. Fur sales have dwindled to about half the volume of 10 years ago.
 ImprobaIbly, it was the Amal- gamated Meat Cutters and Butch CT Workmen's Union which took the initiative in trying to restore the glamor appeal of fur coats.
 The Fur Workers Union has been adopted by the meat cutters as it's fur and leather department, but substantial part of the de- partment's membership is out of work.
 The meat cutters announced that an initial $25,O0O in contri- buttons from their treasury will be supplemented with about $15O,- 900 year collected by a joint union-management authority for use of the union label in fur garments.
 Another $15O,00O annually, more or less, is to be raised by indi- vidual contributions from the many fur manufacturer - most ly small operators = and from the manufacturers trade asso- citations.
 The fur industry acknowledges makers of cloth coats have cut deeply into their market by smart styling, the use of new fabrics textures and finishes and intro duction of new artificial fibers For Packing. Painting or Puppies Old Newspapers-25c Bundle At The Nugget
