Pull-back skirts passe says Chicago dressmakers leader
Mme. Baker speaking for the Dressmakers association at a convention in the Fine Arts building declares the pull-back skirt is becoming extinct. She says it was vulgar and tight about the hips, nearly to the knees, exposing the form, and Parisiennes have adopted newer styles. Today's skirts are cut lower with hip hiding plaits and a flare at the bottom for a charming, modest look. The sentiment was applauded and modistes agree the tight skirt is fading from fashion.

Cotton Freight Charges Dispute Widening in Fall River
In Fall River on September 18 the New Haven railroad and the local Manufacturers' association remain far apart over per diem storage charges on cotton cars. The railroad proposed a $1 daily charge after 96 hours free time, while manufacturers demand higher platform storage charges and oppose penalizing mills for delays beyond their control. They also seek limits on shifting shipments to other destinations without consignee input and anticipate broader freight limitations across the New Haven system to share costs between the railroad and mills.
