The Dry Goods Economist has tho following to say regarding ''.Blouse Week." To stimulato tho sale, of Ameri can-made waists and to establish their place as tho best in the world, tho United Waist League of Amor lca has lnaugrated "Blouse Week" to run from Nov. 10 to Nov. 1G. Both manufacturers and retailers will Jiarticipato by displaying womon's waists ranging from ?1 to $50 In prlco. The plan is approved by several important retail mer chants, and if successful may be an annual affair. Tho central idea is to show that Amorlcan manufacturers are pro eminent in the creation of styles and fabrics for waists as well as in their manufacture. 'As Apaericnn blouses are already popular in Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Latin Amer ica and othor, parts of tho world, the League officials aro confident of at tracting foreign buyers to this country by tho emphasis Which "Blouso Wook" will lay on the ox cellanco of Amorlcan waists in 'both style and material. Thus, if successful, "Blouso larger export trade as woll as show Week" will 'sorvo. as a basis for tho Amorlcan women that domestic waists aro suporior to thoso of for eign mako. TO INVESTIGATE Tho local union of box makers at thoir last meeting, decided to ask tno stato board of conciliation to Inves tigate conditions in box factoriec hero in relation to tho 'demands ot tho 'workers for an increased wage scale, and it is expected by union men that tho board will come hero to conduct an examination of wnges, hours, cost of living and other basic principles which labor leaders assert renders their, demand for increased wages Justifiable. W F. Kay, organizer of the American Federation of Labor, said. today that tho Intervention of-the conciliation board at Hend resulted in an increase of minimum wages among box factory help to GO cents an hour. Tho minimum wage here, he said is $3.75 for an, eight-hour day, and local workers claim that conditions of labor and living being identical they should have an In crease to correspond with wages paid elsewhere. At Bend, said Kay, the employers and employees agreed to arbitration and to abide by the decision of tho conciliation board, but so far local employers romain opposed to a simi lar arbitration plan.
