SUFFERING
FROM famine IN DYES
British Manufacturers Can Make but
Commonest Kind and
Prices Soar.
.al Gable TO The Washington Herald,

Special Gable 10 The Washington Herald
London, June 17-Serious difficulties are
being encountered in all the dye-using in
dustries in Great Britain S 1t is almost
imposs sible to obtain the fine analine dyes
which before the war were manufactured
almost exclusively in Germany. Fabu-
Ious prices are being paid for the very
limited supplies on the market.
For best fast dyes prices today range
about fifty times as high as those that
ruled before the war for COmmoner
dyes twenty times the pre-war price is
asked Progress is being made by Brit
ish manufacturers, but principally with
the commoner dyes, but at the best it
will be a long time before supplies from
this source can be anything like satisfaC-
tory.
At present a supply of the finest Ger
man dyes is reaching the market from
a somewhat unexpected quarter. The
sale has just been announced Of a guam
tity Of analine dyes just landed at st.
Katharine Dock. London These dyes
are being sold by direction of the ad-
rniralty marshal. Alexandria and from
part Of cargoes captured at sea in
August. 1914
The government is taking great care to
prevent these dyes from falling into the
hands of dealers. The sale is by tender
and firms desiring to obtain a tender
form must first satisfy the authorities
that the purpose for which they need the
dyes is Of national interest.

100000 women

Big Increase in Female Labor Raises
Difficult Post-Bellum
Problem.
peaaI Cable to The Washington Herald.

SPECIAL Cable 70 The Washington Herald.
London, June I7-Women the world
over may be proud Of the fact that III
answer to the call of duty and patriotism
something like 100000 women and girls
have entered the industries of Great
Britain since the beginning of 1915.
With the exception of certain skilled
trades and occupations necessarily con-
fined to men, the whole world of work is
now for the first time in history open Il
women. The nation is undoubtedly bene-
fitting largely in many ways by the in
fiux Of women into the labor world. that
Is to say, into that portion of 1t which
up to the present time has been the spe-
ciaI preserve of the male. Curiously
enough there is a very serious shortage
Of women's labor in a large number of
women's trades, chiefly in textile and
clothing. The fact is that the high
wages paid to munitiOn workers is re-
sponsible for this desertion of the less
well paid jobs. Domestic servants, laund'
resses and mattresses are at a premium
They don't seem satisfied unless they
are making something that eXplodes,'
remarked an employe who found it diff
cult TO get women workers.
This fresh industrial revolution has
brought with 1t new problems and the
Women's Labor League is doing good
service in initiating systematic inquiry
and discussion upon them. One speaker
at the opening conference in London
hazarded the prediction that at least
1000 COO men now in the army must be
regarded as lost to industry, since they
would be either tncapacitated or would
refuse to go back to their old occupa.
tions.
Nevertheless the labor world will be
confronted with the necessity of adjust
ing its whole basis and policy to the new
conditions. 1t is clear that the woman
worker cannot be excluded wholesale
neither can she be exploited for the bene-
fit of unscrupulous employers, but be-
fore the matter can be equitably adjusted
there will be trouble.
Meantime the Women's Labor League
has started a series Of conferences in an
endeavor to settle the question that the
working man is thinking hardest about
the future Of the women who have beer
drafted into industry to take the place
OF men. and the effect on mems wages
and the general standard Of living

MAXWELLS FARTHEST
SOUTH OF BORDER
Autos Lead Way in Carrying Troops
On Punitive Expedition Into
Heart OF Mexico.

Maxwell motor cars have achieved the
signal distinction OF attaining the most
southerly point in Mexico OF any auto
mobiles engaged in the punitive expedi-
ton in that country. Letters from Unit
ed States army officers have been received
by the BuqUor Motor Company, Maxwell
distributors in e Paso, Texas. testifytng
10 the fact that the sturdy MsIwells have
pushed farther south over the tortuouE
Mexican trails than any other make OF
car. These letters contain words OF
praise for the splendid service given by
the Msxwells under most discourasing
conditions.
One Of the American oricers, who drove
a Me&well car in the armys movement
TO the south. writes as follows:
The car is standing up well. II has
been given tests to which no other car
with the expedition has been subjected.
We have used the car on patrol duty
and the rosds-save the word-are un-
the stan who has used this car 10 a
Maxwell booster. for the car has done
everything we have called for"
In addition TO the service performed
by cars actually in the fighting zone, the
famour nonstop Maxwell the car that ran
2 900 miles without a single stop OF the
motor. has proven an ericient auxiliary
TO Uncle Sans fighting force. The car
was used recently by United States on
GERS at Douglas. Arizona, which is the
western center OF military activities along
the intsrna tional boundary. The eTorts
OF the nonstop Maxwell have been supple
mented by a feet Of Msxwells, none Of
which has seen less than 1000 miles

camp was established out OF Douglas
