"To a separate department," they vaguely say. •■Would the owner of a clothing factory take the making of a nfew pattern of garment away from his tailors and hand it ovec, to ft separate department, perhaps tho milliners? < The suggestion is too ludicrous. ; - Why did the conference not make somo fltiiftrnetivo suggestion instead of passing a destructive resolution which lends nowhere except to chaos ?
