May 31.—The campaign started by the bishops here against immodest feminine fashions—directed principally at short, skirts—has assumed much wider and more serious proportions. To date the campaign has been a total failure. The casual observer has not been able to see even the slightest sign that women and girls mean to heed the counsel of the strict moralists.

Now it develops that the industrialists have become interested in modesty and that they mean to impose that commodity upon the young ladies of the land by using an economic weapon. An important industrialist in northern Italy has issued an ordinance to the female workers Oi his huge cotton works informing them that they would be discharged immediately after a certain date if they came to the factory wearing skirts less than four inches below the knee The owner of the mill informed them at the , t mr time that they rruld suffer the -amo fate if h r receded reports of “incorrect con-

Many of the girls working in the plant regard tl.e ordinance as an infringement !on their personal rights. They con- | tend that the economic weapon held over them amounts almost to slavery.

The j members have pledged themselves ! r.ot to be seen in the company of girL wearing short skirts, transparen dresses, or low-cut blouses. The bishop of Loreto has ordered that the following notice be posted on the doors of all churches of his : diocese: “Grown women and girls who are no? completely covered and do not j w ear their skirts at least six inches below the knee will not be allowed to enter this church."
