STEEL STRIKE A YEAR AGO

THIS M

URN

Today la tho first anniversary of the bl 1919 etcel atrlk. A year gx this morning:, thousands of ateel workers dropped their tools In tha departments of the biff Gary steI mills, walked out of tho r'ant, stagingone of the blg-g-est strikes in the history of the country. They demanded shorter hours, more money, right of collective bargaining, abolition of the 21 hour shift, abolition of company unions, abolition of physical examination of applicants for employment and principals of seniority to apply in maintaining, reducing and increasingworking forces. "Wo will never go back into the mills again unless we win our demands." said the strikers. But they did. never-the-less. September. October, November and December were dark days for Gary. Thousands of dissatisfied striking: steel workers flocked the street, rioting took place and it wi found necessary to caJl on the state militia for assistance in maintaining- order. Conditions became more severe as the strike srew into weeks and when it was aoen that the state militia was no longer able to control the situation. Mayor Hodges and officials of the steel company called on the government for troops. In motor lories they were rushed into the city from Camp Grant and the city was then placed under military control. The situation quickly changed as armed V. S. soldiers patrolled the streets of the city. The mills became fortified plants and men were protected as they went to and from work. Thousands of strike breakers were brought Into the city and were fed and quartered in the steel mills. One Jy one. the strikers went back to their Jobs after they became convinced that they had no chance

With all the fashion creators strenQously advocating embroideries and the "advices" announced by American dressmakers to the effect that everything will be embellished this season, I rnay be deemed a bit radical if I step oat of the proce.-sion for a moment and give you something s bit different

But there is ail the oitterence in

the world between slavishly follow vxtr a fashion and the clever adapta

tion of its best points to one's own particular needs. And some women need gowns of line at all times. There is a smart type of welldressed women, especially American, who can look most stunning in frocks devoid of ornament, or so ornamented that the decoration is really part of the frock itaelf. It is for such that I have in mind the creation in the aecomnanyinir sketch. Frankly,

lit started out to be an embroidered

frock, but once the line and drape had taken form in sketch and I had worked est the material on the studio fignre, I saw the great possibilities in abandoning' the embroidery idea and concentrating on a creation that would have a direct appeal of youthful simplicity. Satin, Georgette and Velvet. Satin of couturiere brown (a charmingly deep shade that is vastly becoming to most women and sure to be popular) is the mnin material, varied in the overslrirt with inserted panels of crepe georgette. Where they join I have used rows of velvet that match quite nicely the velvetedged button holes end lacing of the basque. The underskirt is naturally a bit tighter, so that with this lighter over part the effect when walking is craite fetching. Here is a basque redmgote that i3 certainly original and different. The collar and vestee of dainty lace are matched with caffs that tighten at the wrist and rum back in smart fullness to where they are inserted in the satin sleeve, which latter has a cut or slash throueh which the lace peeps quaintly.' The lacing of the basque must never be drawn taut, but always give a hint of the lace beneath. There arc som who will tell you that this port of frock is only for the full tiirure, but I assure you that for the small woman or junior Miss there is nothinp- more charming than this same Aezizn.
