LABRADOR FEELS

Reported Starving.

st. Johns, n. F., Dec. 4.-Relief for
destitute inhabitants of the barren re-
gion of Labrador is under way by the
New Foundland government, and the
steamer Kyle is carrying provisions
to Sandwich bay, 100 miles north OF
Battle Harbor, where Or. w. t. Gren-
fell maihtains a mission station and
hospital. The Kyle was chartered by
the government after DR.. Grenfell sent
word of destitution, where people had
nothing to live on but bread and tea,
as cold weather had interfered with
fishing, potatoes did not grow, and the
berry crop was a failure. The war
in Europe shut off demand for Labra-
dor fish, and the impoverished fisher
men suffered from a rise in the price
of sugar. flour, meat and butter.

that profitsharing was the proper econ

SADIE AMERICAN
QUITS HER PLACE
Ends Relations With Jewish
Women's Council Over Eff
fort to Lessen Power.

New Orleans, Dec. 4.-As a result OF
tumult over proposed changes in the
constitution at yesterdays executive
session of the National Council of Jew
ish Women Miss Sadie American of
New York, who for 20 years was exec
utive secretary, ended her relations
with the council.
The trouble revolved around the
power accorded Miss American as ex-
ecutive secretary. Under the society s
constitution this power is far in ex-
cess of that of the president or any
other officers of the organization. The
position also carries a salary of $4,000
year.
When the days executive session
opened, Miss American, exercising the
right of personal privilege, took the
floor in her own defense. Saying pro-
posed changes in the constitution
were aimed at her, she gave the dele
gates an impassioned review of what
she had accomplished during her Of
fetal life.
After the session adjourned for
lunche con the following statement was
given out:
Miss Sadie American, executive
secretary of the National Council of
Jewish Women, announced to the con-
vention that she severed all relations
whatsoever with the council because
the conduct and acts of several of its
officers made service with them incon-
sistent with dignity and self-respect.
Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 4.-The Chicago
Association of Jewish Women, which
formerly was associated with the ma
tional organization, withdrew three
years ago when an attempt was made
at the triennial to oust Miss American
or curtail her powers. The local chap
ter was organized by Mrs. Henry Solo,
mon of 4406 South Michigan avenue.
Methods taken by Miss American in
enforcing rulings and friction which
resulted from a trip she took a year
ago aroused Indignation in the coun-
Gil, it was said last night in Chicago,
where Miss American is well known.
In 1903 Miss American was chair
man of the vocation schools commit
tee of the women's clubs of Chicago.
This committee was mainly RESPONSE

schoolyards to be used by children as

trousers. shirts. underwear, pair of
overalls and pair of hob nailed shoes.

ing at the station and identifying the
