On New Styles

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9 (U.P) —~— The CIO today urged its members and their families to resist the new styles in women's clothing. “The new change—from short to long skirts, from padded shoulders to narrow ‘feminine’ shoulders—is not being launched for the sake of beauty,” the organization sald in its monthly bulletin, Economic Outlook “The cause is purely economic,” the publication said, adding: “But workers' wives cannot afford to throw out the excellent garments now hanging in their closets. It is up to them to absolutely refuse to buy the new styles.”
