‘Strip Strike’ Is Threatened

BOSTON, Feb. 8 (U. P.) —Boston’s professional models threaten! to stage a “strip-down strike” unless they are given clothes as good as those to be used by the debutantes in a - “glamour con-

test” Feb. 19 at a Polish relief fund fashion show. MisS Ruth Allen, leader of the professionals who challenged the society girls to a modeling contest, charged last night that the debutantes had been given their pick of dresses from the best shops while the professionals were told to get theirs wherever they could. “We will model in clothes as good as those of the debs,” she said, “or we will stage a stripdown strike to sarongs.” The contest challenge came when the professionals protested that the debutantes should not be permitted to take iobs which provided the professional models’ livelihood.
